Answer:

16 days would be taken.

Explanation:

Given that:

6 sheep = 8 cows

1 sheep = (8/6) cows

9 sheep = (8*9)/6 cows

9 sheep = 12 cows

9 sheep + 5 cows = 12 cows + 5 cows

= 17 cows

Now 8 cows can gaze field in 34 days

1 cow can gaze field in (34 * 8) days

17 cows can gaze field in (34*8)/17 days = 16 days

So 9 sheep and 5 cows will take 16 days to graze the field.
