Explanation:

From I: Let the total work lcm(16,24) = 48 units Work done by A,C and D in one day = 48/16 = 3 units Work done by C and D in one day = 48/24 = 2 units
Work done by A in one day = 3-2 = 1 unit
Therefore, number of days taken by A to complete the work = 48/1 = 48 days
The time taken by B to complete the work = 48/2 = 24 days
This statement is alone sufficient.
From II: Let the efficiency of C and D be x and 2x resp.
1/48 + x + 2x = 1/16
=>x = 1/72
This statement is not sufficient to answer.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
