Dear student,

Given answer is correct.
another explanation-

16*12w=12*8m => m= 2w.
12 men complete a work in 8 days => 48m complete it in 2 days. => 16m completes the work in 6 days.
In this way, in 3days, 16men completes 1/2 of the work. Rem work = 1/2w
Now, 4w join 6m (10m leave) = 6m + 2m(=4w)= 8m.
16m completes the work in 6days then 16m completes the Half Work in 6days.

Keep learning keep solving
