Q:

Five men and nine women can do a piece of work in 10 days. Six men and twelve women can do the same work in 8 days. In how many days can three men and three women do the work  ?

A) 18 days B) 20 days
C) 16 days D) 14 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20 days

Explanation:

(5m + 9w)10 = (6m + 12w)8 

=> 50m + 90w = 48w + 96 w    => 1m = 3w

5m + 9w = 5m + 3m = 8m

 

8 men can do the work in 10 days.

3m +3w = 3m + 1w = 4m

So, 4 men can do the work in (10 x 8)/4 = 20 days.

Q:

Two trains of equal length, running with the speeds of 60 and 40 kmph, take 50 seconds to cross each other while they are running in the same direction. What time will they take to cross each other if they are running in opposite directions  ?

A) 10 sec B) 11 sec
C) 12 sec D) 8 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10 sec

Explanation:

Relative Speed = 60 -40 = 20 x 5/18 = 100/18

Time = 50

Distance = 50 x 100/18 = 2500/9

Relative Speed = 60 + 40 = 100 x 5/18

Time = 2500/9 x 18/500 = 10 sec.
