24 men can complete a piece of work in 16 days and 18 women can complete the same work in 32 days. 12 men and 6 women work together for 16 days. If the remaining work was to be completed in 2 days, how many additional men would be required besides 12 men and 6 women ?

Assuming the total work is 768 units, 12 men and 6 women complete 384 units in 16 days, leaving 384 units. To finish this remaining work in 2 days, the total required capacity is 192 units per day, and the current team provides 48 units per day, meaning an additional 144 units per day are needed. Since each man provides 2 units per day, 144 divided by 2 gives 16 additional men.
