Exactly 24 days...

1 man do 1/44 job per day
2 woman do 1/44 job per day
3 children do 1/44 job per day

so
1man , 1 woman , 1 child..
1/44+1/88+1/132 job per day

so 11/264 = 1/t where t is the time taken..

now 264/11 = 24 = t

One Man + One Woman + One Boy =1+(1/2)+ (1/3)=11/6

44/(11/6)=24

How less people can finish same work early?
1 man + 2 women + 3 boys ( takes 44 days)
1 man + 1 women + 1 body ( should take more than 44 days)

if you assume that Efficency factor of
women = 1/2 Man
Boy = 1/3 Man
Total workload is 44x3 = 132 man days

If so then it shoud take (132) / (11/6) = 72 days

1m and 2w do it in 44
then
1m and 1w and 1b can do it in
3*44=3*?
d=(3*44)/3
d=44 days

let's say 3 boys = 6 kpowers (kpower is something constant), so 1 boy = 2 kpowers;
then 2 women = 6 kpowers (because 2 women and 3 boys can do the job in the same amount of time), so 1 woman = 3 kpowers;
and 1 man = 6 kpowers.

at the next step 1 man + 1 woman + 1 boy = 6 + 3 + 2 = 11 kpowers.

so if 6 kpowers can do the job in 44 days, 11 kpowers can do it in 44*6/11=24
