Q:

Relation Between Efficiency and Time

A is twice as good a workman as B and is therefore able to finish a piece of work in 30 days less than B.In how many days they can complee the whole work; working together?

Answer

Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1 : 2.


The time difference is (2 - 1) 1 day while B take 2 days and A takes 1 day.


If difference of time is 1 day, B takes 2 days.


If difference of time is 30 days, B takes 2 x 30 = 60 days.


So, A takes 30 days to do the work.


 


A's 1 day's work = 1/30


B's 1 day's work = 1/60


(A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1/30 + 1/60 = 1/20


A and B together can do the work in 20 days.

Q:

A) 9 B) 10
C) 11 D) 12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 9

Explanation:

Let the total number of children be x. 

Then, x * (20% of x) = 405  

=> x * 20x/100 = 405 

15x2 = 405 

 

=> x=45 

 

Number of sweets received by each child = 20% of 45 = 9.
