Correct Answer: 33 days
Solution : Time taken by Zee and Gee to complete a task = 24 days The ratio of efficiencies of Zee and Gee = 3 : 8 Let the efficiencies of Zee be $3x$ and Gee be $8x$. Total work done by Zee and Gee = $24 × (3x+8x) = 24 × 11x = 264x$ Time taken by Gee to complete the task = $\frac{\text{total work}}{\text{efficiency of Gee}}$ = $\frac{264x}{8x}$ = $33$ days Hence, the correct answer is 33 days.
