Q:

K can build a wall in 30 days. L can demolish that wall in 60 days. If K and L work on alternate days, when will the wall be completed ?

A) 120 days B) 119 days
C) 118 days D) 117 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 117 days

Explanation:

K's work in a day(1st day) = 1/30
L's work in a day(2nd day)= -1/60(demolishing)
hence in 2 days, combined work= 1/30 - 1/60 =1/60
since both works alternatively, K will work in odd days and L will work in even days.
1/60 unit work is done in 2 days
58/60 unit work will be done in 2 x 58 days = 116 days
Remaining work = 1-58/60 = 1/30
Next day, it will be K's turn and K will finish the remaining 1/30 work.
hence total days = 116 + 1 = 117.

Q:

5 men and 3 boys can together cultivate a 23 acre field in 4 days and 3 men and 2 boys together can cultivate a 7 acre field in 2 days. How many boys will be needed together with 7 men, if they cultivate 45 acre of field in 6 days.

A) 6 B) 4
C) 2 D) 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2

Explanation:

Let work done by 1 man in i day be m

and Let work done by 1 boy in 1 day be b

From the given data,

4(5m + 3b) = 23

20m + 12b = 23....(1)

2(3m + 2b) = 7

6m + 4b = 7 ....(2)

By solving (1) & (2), we get

m = 1, b = 1/4

Let the number of required boys = n

6(7 1 + n x 1/4) = 45

=> n = 2.
