Correct Answer: (1)

Solution: (1)

According to the question,

48 Children $\equiv 16$ women

$\Rightarrow 3$ children $\equiv 1$ woman

$\therefore 28$ women +24 children $\equiv(28+8)$ women $\equiv 36$ women

$\therefore M_{1} D_{1}=M_{2} D_{2}$

$\Rightarrow 28 \times 8=36 \times D_{2}$

$\Rightarrow D_{2}=\frac{28 \times 8}{36}=\frac{56}{9}$ days $=6 \frac{2}{9}$ day
