A take twice as much time as B or thrice as much time to finish a piece of work. Working together, they can finish the work in 2 days. B can do the work alone in ?
A) 3 hrs
B) 6 hrs
C) 7 hrs
D) 5 hrs
Answer: B) 6 hrs
Explanation:
Suppose A, B and C take x, x/2 and x/3 respectively to finish the work. Then, (1/x + 2/x + 3/x) = 1/2 6/x = 1/2 => x = 12 So, B takes 6 hours to finish the work.
X can complete 5/7 part of a work in 10 days and Y can complete 3/4 part of the same work in 9 days. In how many days will both complete 13/21 part of the total work?
P can make a table in 16 days while Q can make it in 20 days. Q started the work and did that work for 5 days. In how many days P can complete the remaining work?
Type 1 workers are 2.5 times as efficient as type 2 workers. Twelve Type 1 workers can complete a task in 10 days. How many days would it have taken 4 Type 1 and 15 Type 2 workers to do the same work?
