D.

56

Let x man can be discharged
M1 = 120
D1 = 64 days,
M2 = (120 - x)
D2 = (124 - 64)=  60 days
W1 = 2/3,   W2 = 1- 2/3 = 1/3
Now, 
fraction numerator straight M subscript 1 straight D subscript 1 over denominator straight W subscript 1 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight M subscript 2 straight D subscript 2 over denominator straight W subscript 2 end fraction
rightwards double arrow space space fraction numerator 120 space cross times space 64 over denominator 2 divided by 3 end fraction space space space equals space fraction numerator left parenthesis 120 space minus space straight x right parenthesis space cross times space 60 over denominator 1 divided by 3 end fraction
rightwards double arrow space space space fraction numerator 120 space cross times space 64 over denominator 2 space cross times space 60 end fraction space equals space left parenthesis 120 space space minus space straight x right parenthesis
rightwards double arrow space space space 120 space minus space straight x space equals space 64
