A) 144 B) 148
C) 156 D) 186
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 144

then,

             23:12::276:x    => x=(276*12)/23

                                    => x=144

So price of 12 toys will be Rs. 144

Q:

M, N and O can complete the work in 18, 36 and 54 days respectively. M started the work and worked for 8 days, then N and O joined him and they all worked together for some days. M left the job one day before completion of work. For how many days they all worked together?

A) 4 B) 5
C) 3 D) 6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5

Explanation:

Let M, N and O worked together for x days.

From the given data,
M alone worked for 8 days
M,N,O worked for x days
N, O worked for 1 day

But given that
M alone can complete the work in 18 days
N alone can complete the work in 36 days
O alone can complete the work in 54 days

The total work can be the LCM of 18, 6, 54 = 108 units

M's 1 day work = 108/18 = 6 units
N's 1 day work = 108/36 = 3 units
O's 1 day work = 108/54 = 2 units

Now, the equation is
8 x 6 + 11x + 5 x 1 = 108
48 + 11x + 5 = 108
11x = 103 - 48
11x = 55
x = 5 days.

Hence, all M,N and O together worked for 5 days.
