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 mixture contains alcohol and water in the ratio 4 : 3. If 5 liters of water is added to the mixture, the ratio becomes 4: 5. Find the quantity of alcohol in the given mixture.

A) 10 B) 12
C) 15 D) 18
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10

Explanation:

Let the quantity of alcohol and water be 4x litres and 3x litres respectively

 

4x/(3x+5) = 4/5 

 

20x = 4(3x+5)

 

8x = 20

 

x = 2.5

 

Quantity of alcohol = (4 x 2.5) litres = 10 litres.
