Q:

P is 30% more efficient than Q. How much time will they, working together, take to complete a job which P alone could have done in 23 days?

A) 16 days B) 13 days
C) 15 days D) 12 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 13 days

Explanation:

Ratio of times taken by P & Q = 100 : 130 = 10:13

 

Let Q takes x days to do the work

Then, 10:13 :: 23:x

=> x = 23x13/10

=> x = 299/10

 

P's 1 day's work = 1/23

Q's 1 day's work = 10/299

(P+Q)'s 1 day's work = (1/23 + 10/299) = 23/299 = 1/13

Hence, P & Q together can complete the work in 13 days.

Q:

P and Q can complete a job in 24 days working together. P alone can complete it in 32 days. Both of them worked together for 8 days and then P left. The number of days Q will take to complete the remaining work is ?

A) 56 days B) 54 days
C) 60 days D) 64 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 64 days

Explanation:

(P+Q)'s 1 day work = 1/24

P's 1 day work = 1/32

=> Q's 1 day work = 1/24 - 1/32 = 1/96

Work done by (P+Q) in 8 days = 8/24 = 1/3

Remainining work = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Time taken by Q to complete the remaining work = 2/3 x 96 = 64 days.
