Q:

# 12 men can complete a work in 8 days. 16 women can complete the same work in 12 days. 8 men and 8 women started working  and worked for 6 days. How many more men are to be added to complete the remaining work in 1 day?

 A) 8 B) 12 C) 16 D) 24

Explanation:

1 man's 1 day work =$\inline&space;{\color{Black}\frac{1}{96}&space;}$ ; 1 woman's 1 day work =$\inline&space;{\color{Black}\frac{1}{192}&space;}$

work done in 6 days= $\inline&space;{\color{Black}6(\frac{8}{96}+\frac{8}{192})&space;=(6\times&space;\frac{1}{8})=\frac{3}{4}}$

Remaining work =$\inline&space;{\color{Black}(1-\frac{3}{4})=\frac{1}{4}}$

(8 men +8 women)'s 1 day work =$\inline&space;{\color{Black}1(\frac{8}{96}+\frac{8}{192})}$=$\inline&space;{\color{Black}\frac{1}{8}}$

Remaining work=$\inline&space;{\color{Black}(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8})=\frac{1}{8}}$

$\inline&space;{\color{Black}\frac{1}{96}}$ work is done in 1 day by 1 man

$\inline&space;{\color{Black}\therefore&space;}$$\inline&space;{\color{Black}\frac{1}{8}}$ work will be done in 1 day by $\inline&space;{\color{Black}(96\times&space;\frac{1}{8})=12}$ men

Q:

P alone can do a piece of work in 24 days. The time taken by P to complete one-third of work is equal to time taken by Q to complete half of the work. How many days are required to complete by P and Q working together ?

 A) 9 3/5 days B) 7 days C) 6 3/7 days D) 8 days

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 9 3/5 days

Explanation:

Let the total work be 'W'

As per the given information,

P can complete the work 'W' in 24 days.

=> one day work of P = W/24

And also given that,

The time taken by P to complete one-third of work is equal to time taken by Q to complete half of the work

=> PW/3 = QW/2

=> P's

1 day =    W/24

?    =      W/3

=>  ?  = 24W/3W  = 8

=> QW/2 = 8 days

=> Q alone can complete the work W in 16 days

=> P + Q can complete the work in

1/24 + 1/16 = 5/48

=> 48/5 days = 9 3/5 days.

Q:

P can do a piece of work in 5 less days than Q. If both of them can do the same work in $\inline \fn_jvn 11\tfrac{1}{9}$ days, in how many days will Q alone do the same work  ?

 A) 24 days B) 25 days C) 20 days D) 19 days

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 25 days

Explanation:

Let Q complete that work in 'L' days

=> $\inline \fn_jvn \frac{1}{L}+\frac{1}{L-5}=\frac{9}{100}$

=> $\inline \fn_jvn 9L^{2}-245L+500=0$

L = 25 days.

Q:

Time taken by P alone to finish a work is 50% more than the time taken by P and Q together. Q is thrice as efficient as R. If Q and R together can complete the work in 22.5 days, then how many days will P alone take to complete the work ?

 A) 17 days B) 11 days C) 15 days D) 16 days

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 15 days

Explanation:

We know that Time is inversely proportional to Efficiency

Here given time ratio of P & P+Q as

P/P+Q = 150/100 = 3:2

Efficiency ratio of P & Q as

P:Q = 2:1 ....(1)

Given Efficiency ratio of Q & R as

Q:R = 3:1 ....(2)

From (1) & (2), we get

P:Q:R = 6:3:1

P alone can finish the work in

22.5(3+1)/6 = 15 days.

Q:

A town having teenagers(boys & girls) of 5000 requires 150 litre of water per head. It has a tank measuring 20 m × 15 m × 5 m. The water of this tank will sufficient for ____ days.

 A) 8 B) 6 C) 4 D) 2

Explanation:

Total Water reqduired = 5000 × 150 lit

= 750,000 litres = 750 cu.m.

Volume of tank = 20 × 15 × 5 = 1500 Cu.m.

Number of days required =1500/750 = 2 days.

Q:

Priya can do a work in 16 days. In how many days will the work be completed by Sai, if the efficiency of Sai is 60% more than that of Priya ?

 A) 8 days B) 12 days C) 14 days D) 10 days

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 10 days

Explanation:

Ratio of efficiencies of Priya and Sai is

Sai : Priya = 160 : 100 = 8 : 5

Given Priya completes the work in 16 days

Let number of days Sai completes the work be 'd'

=> 5×16 = 8×d

d = 10 days.

Therefore, number of days Sai completes the work is 10 days.
