A) 30 days B) 40 days
C) 120 days D) 80 days

-->K+L = 4L+L = 5L

 

These 5L people can complete the work in 24 days, which means L alone can do the work in (24 x 5)=120 days.

Q:

 A motorboat takes half time to cover a certain distance downstream than upstream. What is the ratio between rate of current and rate of boat in still water?

A) 1 : 3 B) 3 : 2
C) 2 : 3 D) 3 : 1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1 : 3

Explanation:

Let the speed of the boat in still water is 'w'

Speed of the current is 'c'

Let the distance between two places is 'd'

According to the question, motorboat takes half time to cover a certain distance downstream than upstream.

dw+c = 12dw-c

=> 2w - 2c = w + c

=> w = 3c

=> c : w = 1 : 3

 

Hence, the ratio between rate of current(c) and rate of boat in still water(w) = 1 : 3
