Work done by a women in one day = 1/2 (work done by a man/day)
One women's capacity = 1/2(one man's capacity)
One man = 2 women.
12 men = 24 women.
12 men + 6 women = 30 women
30 women can complete the work in four days. In the first 2 days they can complete 1/2 of the work. Remaining part of the work = 1/2. If 6 men leave and 6 new women join, then new work force = 30 women - 12 women + 6 women = 24 women.
Time taken by them to complete the remaining work = 1/2 (Time taken by 24 women to complete the work) = 1/2 * (30 * 4)/24 = 2 (1/2) days.
