Q:

Pavan and Sravan are two persons. If Pavan works with his actual efficiency and Sravan twice of his actual efficiency then it takes 25 days to complete the work. But If Pavan works twice of his actual efficiency and Sravan with his normal efficiency then the work is completed in 20 days. How many days would it take if Sravan alone works with his actual efficiency (in Days)?

A) 50 B) 100
C) 70 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 100

Explanation:

Let the Efficiency of pavan be E(P)

Let the Efficiency of sravan be E(S)

Here Work W = LCM(25,20) = 100

Now, E(P+2S) = 100/25 = 4 ....(1)

E(2P+S) = 100/20 = 5 ....(2)

Hence, from (1) & (2) we get

E(S) = 1

=> Number of days Savan alone work to complete the work  = 100/1 = 100 days.

A) 18050 B) 17500
C) 17000 D) 7203
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 17500

Explanation:

Let total number of votes enrolled = x
No. of voted cast = 70% of x = 0.7x
Valid votes = 98% of 0.7x
⇒ 60% of total valid votes = 7203 = 60% of 98% of 0.7x
⇒ 0.6 X 0.98 X 0.7x = 7203
⇒ x = 7203 / (0.6 X 0.98 X 0.7)
⇒ x = 17500
