Correct Answer: 6 days
Solution : Time taken by Seema to do the work = 8 days Part of work done by Seema in a day = $\frac{1}{8}$ Time taken by Reema to do the work = 24 days Part of work done by Reema in a day = $\frac{1}{24}$ Part of the work done by Seema and Reema together in a day = $\frac{1}{8}$ + $\frac{1}{24}$ = $\frac{3+1}{24}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$ Time taken by Seema and Reema together to do the work = 6 days Hence, the correct answer is 6 days.
