Q:

If 34 men completed 2/5th of a work in 8 days working 9 hours a day. How many more man should be engaged to finish the rest of the work in 6 days working 9 hours a day ?

A) 101 men	B) 112 men
C) 102 men	D) 120 men

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 102 men

Explanation:

From the above formula i.e (m1 x t1/w1) = (m2 x t2/w2)

so, [(34 x 8 x 9)/(2/5)] = [(M x 6 x 9)/(3/5)]

so, M = 136 men

Number of men to be added to finish the work = 136-34 = 102 men.

Q:

Three milkmen rented a pasture. A grazed 24 cows for 4 months; B 10 cows for 6 months; C 56 cows for 5 months. If A's share of rent is Rs. 960, find the total rent of the field?

A) 4530	B) 4440
C) 4360	D) 4280

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4360

Explanation:

Ratio of shares of A,B,C = (24 x 4) : (10 x 6) : (56 x 5)

= 96 : 60 : 280.

Let total rent be Rs. x. Then, A's share = $R s . \frac{96 x}{436}$

$∴ \frac{96 x}{436} = 960 \Leftrightarrow x = \frac{960 \times 436}{96} = 4360$

Hence total rent of the field is Rs. 4360.
