Q:

3 men, 4 women and 6 children can complete a work in 7 days. A woman does double the work a man does and a child does half the work a man does. How many women alone can complete this work in 7 days  ?

A) 6 B) 9
C) 5 D) 7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 7

Explanation:

Let 1 woman's 1 day work = x.

Then, 1 man's 1 day work = x/2 and 1 child's 1 day work  x/4.

So, (3x/2 + 4x + + 6x/4) = 1/7

28x/4 = 1/7 => x = 1/49

1 woman alone can complete the work in 49 days.

So, to complete the work in 7 days, number of women required = 49/7 = 7.

Q:

In a 500 m race, the ratio of the speeds of two contestants A and B is 3 : 4. A has a start of 140 m. Then, A wins by:

A) 60m B) 40m
C) 20m D) 10m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20m

Explanation:

To reach the winning post A will have to cover a distance of (500 - 140)m, i.e., 360 m.

 

While A covers 3 m, B covers 4 m.

 

While A covers 360 m, B covers (4/3)*360 = 480 m.

 

Thus, when A reaches the winning post, B covers 480 m and therefore remains 20 m behind.

 

 A wins by 20 m.
