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.

Q:

A mixture of 70 litres of Fruit Juice and water contains 10% water. How many litres of water should be added to the mixture so that the mixture contains 12.5% water   ?

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

Explanation:

Quantity of fruit juice in the mixture = 70 - [70 x (10/100) ]= 63 litres.

 

After adding water, juice would form 87.5% of the mixture.

 

Hence, if quantity of mixture after adding x liters of water, [(87.5) /100 ]*x = 63 => x = 72 

 

Hence 72 - 70 = 2 litres of water must be added.
