    4 days to complete the work.

    Explanation:

    6 MEN OR 8 WOMEN

    means that each man completes the 1 / (6*12) of the work per day

    OR each women completes 1 / (8*12) of the work per day

    9 MEN AND 12 WOMEN completes ...

    9 * 1 / (6*12) + 12 * 1 / (8*12) of the work per day.

    Note that we add these 2 fractions because of the word 'AND'.

    that gives us a simple fraction of 1/4 of the work per day.

    Thus reversing it, gives you time taken = 4 days to complete the work.
