Q:

A contractor undertook to complete a piece of work in 120 Days and employed 140 men upon it. At the end of 66 days only half of the work was done,so he put on 25 extra men. By how much time did he exceed the specific time ?

A) 2 days B) 3 days
C) 4 days D) 5 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2 days

Explanation:

work done=total number of person x number of days;
half of work done = 140 x 66;
For half of remaining work 25 extra men are added.
Therefore, total men for half work remaining = 140 + 25 = 165;
Let 2nd half work will be completed in K days;
140 x 66 = 165 x K
K = 122;
Hence, extra days => 122-120 = 2days.

A) 22 B) 23
C) 24 D) 25
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 23

Explanation:

Calculating Age has 2 conditions. Let your Birthday is on January 1st.

1. If the month in which you are born is completed in the present year i.e, your birthday, then

Your Age = Present year - Year you are born 

As of now, present year = 2018

i.e, Age = 2018 - 1995 = 23 years.

 

2. If the month in which you are born is not completed in the present year i.e, your birthday, then

Your Age = Last year - Year you are born

As of now, present year = 2018

i.e, Age = 2017 - 1995 = 22 years.

Q:

Three taps I, J and K can fill a tank in 20,30and 40 minutes respectively. All the taps are opened simultaneously and after 5 minutes tap A was closed and then after 6 minutes tab B was closed .At the moment a leak developed which can empty the full tank in 70 minutes. What is the total time taken for the completely full ?

A) 24.315 minutes B) 26.166 minutes
C) 22.154 minutes D) 24 minutes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 26.166 minutes

Explanation:

Upto first 5 minutes I, J and K will fill => 5[(1/20)+(1/30)+(1/40)] = 65/120


For next 6 minutes, J and K will fill => 6[(1/30)+(1/40)] = 42/120


So tank filled upto first 11 minutes = (65/120) + (42/120) = 107/120
So remaining tank = 13/120


Now at the moment filling with C and leakage @ 1/60 per minute= (1/40) - (1/70) = 3/280.
So time taken to fill remaining 13/120 tank =(13/120) /(3/280) = 91/6 minutes

 

Hence total time taken to completely fill the tank = 5 + 6 + 91/6 = 26.16 minutes.
