Q:

P alone can complete a piece of work in 6 days. Work done by Q alone in one day is equal to one-third of the work done by P alone in one day. In how many days can the work be completed if P and Q work together  ?

A) 5 (2/3) B) 6 (3/4 )
C) 4 (1/2) D) 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4 (1/2)

Explanation:

Work done by P alone in one day = 1/6th of the total work done by Q alone in one day = 1/3(of that done by P in one day) = 1/3(1/6 of the total) = 1/18 of the total. 

 

Work done by P and Q, working together in one day = 1/6 + 1/18  = 4/18 = 2/9 

 

They would take 9/2 days = 4 (1/2) days to complete the work working together.

Q:

Two pipes A and B can fill a cistern in 4 minutes and 6 minutes respectively . If these pipes are turned on alternately for 1 minute each how long will it take to the cistern to fill?

Answer

As the pipes are operating alternatively, thus their 2 minutes job is = 14 + 16 = 512 


In the next 2 minutes the pipes can fill another 512 part of cistern. 


Therefore, In 4 minutes the two pipes which are operating alternatively will fill 512 + 512 = 56Remaining part = 1 - 56 = 16 


Pipe A can fill 14 of the cistern in 1 minute 


Pipe A can fill 16 of the cistern in = 23 min 


Therefore, Total time taken to fill the Cistern  


4 + 23 minutes.
