Q:

Twelve children take sixteen days to complete a work which can be completed by 8 adults in 12 days. After working for 3 days, sixteen adults left and six adults and four children joined them. How many days will they take to complete the remaining work ?

A) 3 days B) 2 days
C) 6 days D) 12 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 6 days

Explanation:

From the given data,

12 children 16 days work,
One child’s one day work = 1/192.


8 adults 12 days work,
One adult’s one day’s work = 1/96.


Work done in 3 days = ((1/96) x 16 x 3) = 1/2


Remaining work = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2


(6 adults+ 4 children)’s 1 day’s work = 6/96 + 4/192 = 1/12

1/12 work is done by them in 1 day.

1/2 work is done by them in 12 x (1/2) = 6 days.

Q:

A merchant buys two items for Rs. 7500. One item he sells at a profit of 16% and the other item at 14% loss. In the deal, the merchant makes neither any profit nor any loss. What is the difference between the selling price of both the items?

A) Rs. 620 B) Rs. 654
C) Rs. 725 D) Rs. 747
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 620

Explanation:

Let the C.P of one item is Rs. P
and that of other is Rs. (7500 - P)

According to the data given
C.P = S.P
=> Px(116/100) + (7500-P)x(86/100) = 7500
=> 30P = 105000
=> P = 3500

Required difference between selling prices
= Rs. [(3500/100) x 116] - [(4000/100) x 86]
= 4060-3440
= Rs. 620

Q:

12 men complete a work in 9 days. After they have worked for 6 days, 4 more men join them. How many days will they take to complete the remaining work ?

A) 2 days B) 2.5 days
C) 2.25 days D) 3 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2.25 days

1 man's 1 day work = 1/108
12 men's 6 day's work = 1/9 x 6 = 2/3

Remaining work = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

16 men's 1 day work = 1/108 x 16 = 4/27
4/27 work is done by them in 1 day.

1/3 work is done by them in 27/4 x 1/3 = 9/4 days.
