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.

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

Explanation:

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.
