C Correct answer
Explanation

24 men complete work in 20 days, so 1 man's 1 day work = 1/(24*20). 15 men's 1 day work = 15/(24*20) = 1/32, so time = 32 days. 36 women complete in 24 days, so 1 woman's 1 day work = 1/(36*24). 16 women's 1 day work = 16/(36*24) = 1/54, so time = 54 days. Quantity I (32 days) < Quantity II (54 days).
