Time and Work Questions

we know that m1 x d1 = m2 x d2
=> 4 x 6 = 5 x d
where d = no. of days taken by 5 men to paint
d = 24/5 days.

One day work of 6 boys and 8 girls is given as 6b + 8g = 1/10 -------->(I)

One day work of 26 boys and 48 women is given as 26b + 48w = 1/2 -------->(II)

Divide both sides by 2 in (I) and then multiply both sides by 5

Now we get, 15b + 20g = 1/4.

Therefore, 15 boys and 20 girls can do the same work in 4 days.

Given that,

 working days = 5

 working hours = 8

 A man get rupess per hour is Rs.2.40

 So in one day the man get total rupees is 2.40 x 8 = 19.2

 So in 5 days week the man get total rupees is 19.2 x 5 = 96

 So in 4 week the man get total rupees is 96 x 4 = 384

 So the man worked for = 160hours in 4 weeks

 But given that the man earned Rs.432

 Hence remaning money is (432-384 = 48)which is earn by doing overtime work

Overtime hours  = 48/3.20 = 15

So total worked hours is = 15 + 160 = 175.

It is given that efficiency ratio =3:1

so time ratio will be 1:3 (since work is same)

Also given that time diff = 32 days. ratio difference = 3-1 =2 

2 ratio = 32 days

1 ratio = 16 days.

So A will alone finish it in 16 days and B will finish it in 16*3 = 48 days.

Total work = LCM of 16 and 48 = 48.

Total time = Total work/Total efficiency 

ie; 48/4= 12 days.

In one day work done by K = 1/20

Work done by K in 2 days = 1/10

Work done by K,L,M on 3rd day =1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60 = 1/10

Therefore, workdone in 3 days is = 1/10 + 1/10 = 1/5

1/5th of the work will be completed at the end of 3 days.

The remaining work = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5

1/5 of work is completed in 3 days

Total work wiil be done in 3 x 5 = 15 days.

Let the total number of documents to be printed be 12.

 The number of documents printed by P in 1 day = 4.

 The number of documents printed by Q in 1 day = 3.

 The number of documents printed by R in 1 day = 2.

 
Thus, the total number of documents that can be printed by all the machines working simultaneously in a single day = 9.

Therefore, the number of days taken to complete the whole work = 12/9 = 4/3 days.

From the given data,

12 children 16 days work,
One child’s one day work = 1/192.

8 adults 12 days work,
One adult’s one day’s work = 1/96.

Work done in 3 days = ((1/96) x 16 x 3) = 1/2

Remaining work = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2

(6 adults+ 4 children)’s 1 day’s work = 6/96 + 4/192 = 1/12

1/12 work is done by them in 1 day.

1/2 work is done by them in 12 x (1/2) = 6 days.

Number of pages typed by Adam in 1 hour = 36/6 = 6
Number of pages typed by Smith in 1 hour = 40/5 = 8
Number of pages typed by both in 1 hour = (6 + 8) = 14
Time taken by both to type 110 pages = (120 * 1/14) = 847 = 8 hrs 34 min.
