Questions and Answers

Q 1 - To finish a work, a sets aside half additional time than B. In the event that together they take 18 days to finish the work, what amount of time might B take to isn't that right?

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 - A and B together can finish a bit of work in 12 days, B and C can do it in 20 days and C and A do it 15 days. A, B and C together can finish it in

A - 6 days

B - 9 days

C - 10 days

D - 21/2 days

Answer : C

Explanation

(A+B) 1days works =1/12, (B+C) 1days work =1/20, (C+A) 1 days work=1/15.
2(A+B+C) 1days work = (1/12+1/20+1/15) = (5+3+4)/60=12/60=1/5.
⇒ (A+B+C) 1 days works=1/10.
∴A, B and C together can do it in 10 days

Q 3 - A can do a bit of work in 20 days which B can do in 12 days. B worked at it for 9 days. A can complete the remaining work in:

A - 3 days

B - 5 days

C - 7 days

D - 11 days

Answer : B

Explanation

B's 9 days work = (1/12*9)= 3/4 ; remaining work = (1-3/4 )= 1/4 1/20 work is finished by A in 1 day. 1/4 works is finished by A in (20*1/4) days. =5 days

Q 4 - A can do a bit of work in 10 days and B can do it in 20 days. They begin the work together . Be that as it may, following 5 days, A leaves off. B will do the remaining work in

A - 5 days

B - 6 days

C - 8 days

D - 10 days

Answer : A

Explanation

(A+B)'s 5 days work = 5(1/10+ 1/20) = 3/4 ; remaining work = (1- 3/4) = 1/4 1/20 work is done by B in 1 day. 1/4 work is done B in (20* 1/4) = 5 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

Answer : C

Explanation

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 - 4 men and 6 ladies complete an occupation in 8 days while 3 men and 7 ladies complete it in 10 days. 10 ladies cooperating will complete it in

A - 24 days

B - 32 days

C - 36 days

D - 40 days

Answer : D

Explanation

Let 1 men 1 day work be x and 1 women 1 day work be y. then
4x+6 y= 1/8 ... (1)    3x+7y = 1/10 ...(11)
Multiplying (1) by 3, (11) by 4 and subtracting, we get
10 y = (4/10- 3/8) = (16-15)/40 = 1/40 ⇒y = 1/400
1 women's 1 day work = 1/400
10 women 1 day work = (1/400*10) = 1/40
Hence 10 women can finish the work in 40 days

Q 8 - 2 men and 3 ladies can complete a bit of work in 10 days, while 4 men can do it in 10 days. In how long will 3 men and 3 ladies complete it?

A - 6 days

B - 17/3 days

C - 8 days

D - 25/3 day

Answer : C

Explanation

Let 1 men 1 day work be x and 1 women 1 day work be y. then
2x+3y = 1/10 ...  (1) 4x= 1/10 ⇒ x= 1/40
Putting x= 1/40 in (1), we get
2*1/40 + 3y = 1/10   ⇒3 y = (1/10- 1/20) = 1/20 ⇒y = 1/60
(3 men + 3 women)'s 1 day work = (3* 1/40 + 3*1/60) = (3/40 +1/20) = 1/8
SO, they will finish the work in 8 days.

Q 9 - A does 4/5th of a work in 20 days. He then assembles in B and they complete the remaining work in 3 days. To what extent B alone would take to do the entire work?

A - 23 days

B - 37 days

C - 75/2 days

D - 40 days

Answer : C

Explanation

4/5 work is done by A in 20 days.
Whole work is done by A in (20*5/4) days =25 days.
1/5th work is done by (A+B) in 3 days.
Whole work is done by (A+B) in (3*5) days=15 days.
B 1 days work= (1/15-1/25) =2/75.
B alone can finish the work in 75/2 days.

Q 10 - 10 ladies can finish a work in 7 days and 10 youngsters take 14 days to finish the work. How long will 5 ladies and 10 kids take to finish the work?

A - 3

B - 5

C - 7

D - none of these

Answer : C

Explanation

10 woman 1 day work =1/7⇒1 woman 1 day work =1/70.
10 children 1 day work =1/14⇒1 child 1 day work=1/140.
(5 woman +10children) 1 days work= (5*1/70+10*1/140) = (1/14+1/14) =2/14=1/7.
∴5 woman and 10 children will finish the work in 7 days.
