FACTS AND FORMULAE FOR TIME AND WORK QUESTIONS

1. If A can do a piece of work in n days, then A's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{n}$

2. If A’s 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{n}$ , then A can finish the work in n days.

3. A is thrice as good a workman as B, then:

Ratio of work done by A and B = 3 : 1.

Ratio of times taken by A and B to finish a work = 1 : 3.

NOTE :

$E f f i c i e n c y \propto \frac{1}{N o o f t i m e u n i t s}$

$∴ E f f i c i e n c y \times T i m e = C o n s \tan t W o r k$

Hence, $R e q u i r e d t i m e = \frac{W o r k}{E f f i c i e n c y}$

Whole work is always considered as 1, in terms of fraction and 100% , in terms of percentage.

In general, number of day's or hours = $\frac{100}{E f f i c i e n c y}$
