Correct Answer: (3)
Solution: (3)
Let 12 women do the work for $x$ days.
$\therefore M_{1} D_{1}=M_{2} D_{2}+M_{3} D_{3}$
$\Rightarrow 12 \times 16=12 x+8 \times 18$
$\Rightarrow 192=12 x+144$
$\Rightarrow 12 x=192-144=48$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{48}{12}=4$
$\therefore$ Required time $=18+4$ $=22$ days
