Solution

The correct option is A 36 days
We have
$M_{1} = 24 D_{1} = 27, W_{1} = 1, t_{1} = 7,$
$M_{2} = 14, D_{2} = ?, W_{2} = 1, t_{2} = 9,$

$M_{1} D_{1} T_{1} W_{2} = M_{2} D_{2} t_{2} W_{1}$

$\Rightarrow 24 \times 27 \times 7 \times 1 = 14 \times D_{2} \times 9 \times 1$

$\Rightarrow D_{2} = 36 d a y s$
