A - 30 days

B - 35 days

C - 40 days

D - 45 days

Answer : A

Explanation

Suppose B takes x days. Then ,
 A takes 150x/100 days , i.e. 3x/2 days
∴1/x+ 2/3x=   1/18 ⇒5/3x= 1/18   ⇒3x = 90 ⇒x= 30
Hence B takes 30 days.

Q 2 - 3 men or 5 ladies can do a work in 12 days. To what extent will 6 men and 5 ladies take to complete the work?

A - 4 days

B - 10 days

C - 15 days

D - 20 days

3 men =5 women ⇒(6 men +5 women )=15 women
Now, 5 women can do it in 12 days.
1 woman can do it in (12*5) days.
15 women can do it in 12*5/15days=4days.

Q 3 - A can do 1/3 of a work in 5 days and B can do 2/5 of the work in 10 days. In how long both A and B together can take the necessary steps?

A - 31/4 days

B - 44/5 days

C - 75/8 days

D - 10 days

Answer : C

Explanation

1/3 work is done by A in 5 days.
Whole work will be done by A in 15 days.
2/5 work is done by B in 10 days.
Whole work will be done by B in (10*5/2) day?s i.e 25 days
(A+B) 's 1 days work = (1/15+1/25) = 8/75
∴A and B can do the work in 75/8 days

Q 4 - A can make a sure showing in 25 days which B alone can do in 20 days. A began the work and was joined by B following 10 days. The work went on for

A - 25/2 days

B - 128/9 days

C - 15 days

D - 50/3 days

Answer : D

Explanation

A's 10 days work = (1/25*10)= 2/5 ; remaining work = (1-2/5) = 3/5
(A+B)'s 1 day work = (1/25+1/20) = 9/100
9/100 work is finished by (A+B) In 1 day.
3/5 work is finished by (A+B) in (100/9* 3/5) days = 20/3 days
Total time taken = (10+ 20/3) = 50/3 days

Q 5 - The rates of working of A and B are in the proportion 3:4. The no. of days taken by them to complete the work is in the proportion

A - 3:4

B - 9:16

C - 4:3

D - none of these

Ratio of time taken =  1/3 : 1/4 = 4:3

Q 6 - A men, a ladies and a kid can together finish a bit of work in 3 days. In the event that a men alone can do it in 6 days and a kid alone in 18 days, to what extent will a ladies take to finish the work?

A - 9 days

B - 21 days

C - 24 days

D - 27 days

Answer : A

Explanation

(1 man+ 1 women +1 boy ) 1 day work = 1/3
Suppose the women alone can do it in x days. Then
1/6 +1/x+1/18= 1/3 ⇒4/18 +1/x = 1/3 ⇒1/x = (1/3- 2/9) = 1/9
So, 1 woman can do the work in 9 days

Q 7 - 10 ladies can finish a work in 8 days and 10 youngsters take 12 days to finish the work. How long will 6 ladies and 3 kids together take to finish the work?

A - 7

B - 10

C - 9

D - 12

Answer : B

Explanation

10 women 1 days work =1/8 ⇒1 women 1 day work = 1/80
10 children 1 day work = 1/12 ⇒1 children 1 day work = 1/120
(6 women + 3 children) 1 day work = (6/80 +3/120) = (3/40+ 1/40) = 4/40 = 1/10
So, they can finish the work in 10 days.

(A+B+C) 's 1 days work = 1/4
  C 's 1 day work = 1/4 - (1/8+ 1/12) = (1/4 -5/24) = 1/24
A: B: C = 1/8: 1/12: 1/24 = 3:2:1
C's share = (4500* 1/6) = Rs. 750

Ratio of shares of A, B, C = 1/6: 1/8: 1/24 = 4:3:1
Boys share = (4000*1/8) = RS. 500
