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.

Q:

An Engine length 1000 m moving at 10 m/s. A bird is flying from engine to end with 'x' m/s and coming back at '2x' m/s. Take total time of bird travelling as 187.5 s. Find x and 2x in km/hr ?

A) 21.4 and 42.8 B) 25.2 and 50.4
C) 31.4208 and 62.8416 D) 33.12 and 66.24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 31.4208 and 62.8416

Explanation:

Birds speeds in mtrs/sec is 'x' and '2x' .
While flying from Engine to end, relative speed = (x+10) m/sec
from end to engine, flying speed = (2x - 10) mtr/sec
so
1000/(x+10) + 1000/(2x-10) = 187.5 secs
solving it, we get
so x = 8.728 m/sec and 2x= 17.456 m/sec

x = 31.4208 km/hr and 2x = 62.8416 km/hr.

Q:

Running 3/4th of his usual rate, a man is 15min late. Find his usual time in hours  ?

A) 2/3 hrs B) 3/4 hrs
C) 1/3 hrs D) 1/4 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3/4 hrs

Explanation:

Walking at 3/4th of usual rate implies that time taken would be 4/3th of the usual time. In other words, the time taken is 1/3rd more than his usual time

 

so 1/3rd of the usual time = 15min
or usual time = 3 x 15 = 45min = 45/60 hrs = 3/4 hrs.

Q:

X can complete the work in 10 days, Y can do the same in 15 days. If they are hired for 5 days to do the work together, what is the work that left unfinished?

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

Explanation:

Given X can do in 10 days 

=> 1 day work of X = 1/10

 

Y can do in 15 days 

=> 1 day work of Y = 1/15

 

1day work of (X + Y) = 1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6

 

Given they are hired for 5 days

 => 5 days work of (X + Y) = 5 x 1/6 = 5/6

 Therefore, Unfinished work = 1 - 5/6 = 1/6
