Total work = $ \Large 17 \times 33 \times 3 $
Let 1 woman works 1 unit/day then 17 women will do 17 units / day) .
$ \Large 12 men + 24 women $
$ \Large \frac{51}{2} women +\frac{24}{1}women=\frac{99}{2} $ women
will do $ \Large 17 \times 33 $ work in
=$ \Large \frac{17 \times 33}{\frac{99}{2}} \times 3 $=34 days
