Answer: C

Explanation:

According to the calculation,
the ratio of the number of men to the number of women required to reap the field is 1:3/2.
This means that for every 1 man,
3/2 women are required.
The calculation also shows that the total number of men and women required to reap the field is equivalent to 28 women.
Using this information,
we can determine that it will take 28 women,
or the equivalent number of men and women,
9 days to reap the field.
This is because 18 women can reap the field in 14 days,
and 28 women is a greater number,
so it will take longer to complete the work
