Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 165

Explanation:

The terms of the series are products of two consecutive prime numbers i.e.

(2 x 3), (3 x 5), (5 x 7), (7 x 11),.....

So, 165 is wrong and must be replaced by (11 x 13) i.e. 143.

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=6896+8192=6×18 =34 

Remaining work = 1/4

(8 men +8 women)'s 1 day work = 1896+8192 =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
