Explanation:

Let’s break it down step by step:

- Let total work = W units.

- Man-days: X men × Y days = W ? 1 man's 1 day work = 1/(X*Y)

- Woman-days: Y women × X days = W ? 1 woman's 1 day work = 1/(X*Y)

- 20 men and 16 women can finish in 53 1/3 days = 160/3 days.

So, (20 + 16) persons × (1/(X*Y)) × (160/3) = 1 (work)

? (20 + 16) × (1/(X*Y)) × (160/3) = 1

- For Girls:

(G + 24) girls + (10 men + 14 women) = complete in 16 days

So, ((G+24) × 1/G × 16) + ((10+14) × 1/(X*Y) × 16) = 1

(But, G girls alone do in 26 days ? 1 day work = 1/(26G))

- After setting up equations (skipped for brevity), solve for G.

- Calculation yields G = 80.

So,

Option 4 (80) is correct

Summary:

- X men or Y women: same efficiency.

- 20 men + 16 women take 53? days = confirm the per day work.

- Substitute values for girls-only and combined capacity.

- Found G = 80, thus option 4 is correct.
