Based on given data,

Work done by 3 girls in 1 day = 1/8

Work done by 3 boys in 1 day = 1/9

Work done by 7 men in 1 day = 1/3

Work done by 6 women in 1 day = 1/4

Assuming all girls are equally efficient,

Work done by 1 girl in 1 day = 1/3 × 1/8 = 1/24          ---(1)

Assuming all boys are equally efficient,

Work done by 1 boy in 1 day = 1/3 × 1/9 = 1/27         ---(2)

Assuming all men are equally efficient,

Work done by 1 man in 1 day = 1/7 × 1/3 = 1/21          ---(3)

Assuming all women are equally efficient,

Work done by 1 woman in 1 day = 1/6 × 1/4 = 1/24      ---(4)

From 1,2,3,4,

1/27 < 1/24 < 1/21

Thus the least efficiency is 1/27 and the greatest efficiency is 1/21.

Thus, men are the most efficient.
