Q:

12 men can complete a work in 8 days. 16 women can complete the same work in 12 days. 8 men and 8 women started working and worked for 6 days. How many more men are to be added to complete the remaining work in 1 day?

A) 8	B) 12
C) 16	D) 24

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 12

Explanation:

1 man's 1 day work =1/96 ; 1 woman's 1 day work = 1/192

Work done in 6 days= $6 (\frac{8}{96} + \frac{8}{192}) = 6 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$

Remaining work = 1/4

(8 men +8 women)'s 1 day work = $1 (\frac{8}{96} + \frac{8}{192})$ =1/8

Remaining work =1/4 - 1/8 = 1/8

1/96 work is done in 1 day by 1 man

Therefore, 1/8 work will be done in 1 day by 96 x (1/8) =12 men

Q:

Ten women can do a work in six days. Six men can complete the same work in five days. What is the ratio between the capacity of a man and a woman?

A) 1:2	B) 2:1
C) 2:3	D) 3:2

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2:1

Explanation:

(10 * 6) women can complete the work in 1 day.

Therefore, 1 woman's 1 day's work = 1/60

(6 * 5) men can complete the work in 1 day.

Therefore, 1 man's 1 day's work = 1/30

so, required ratio =1/30 : 1/60 = 2:1

Q:

A and B together can do a piece of work in 40 days. A having worked for 20 days, B finishes the remaining work alone in 60 days. In How many days shall B finish the whole work alone?

A) 60	B) 70
C) 80	D) 90

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 80

Explanation:

Let A's 1 day's work=x and B's 1 day's work=y

Then x+y = 1/40 and 20x+60y=1

Solving these two equations , we get : x= 1/80 and y= 1/80

Therefore B's 1 day work = 1/80

Hence,B alone shall finish the whole work in 80 days

Q:

A and B together finish a wor in 20 days.They worked together for 15 days and then B left. Afer another 10 days,A finished the remaining work. In how many days A alone can finish the job?

A) 30	B) 40
C) 50	D) 60

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40

Explanation:

(A+B)'s 15 days work = $(\frac{1}{20} \times 15) = \frac{3}{4}$

Remaining work = 1/4

Now, 1/4 work is done by A in 10 days.

Whole work will be done by A in (10 x 4) = 40 days.
