Q:

A contractor undertook to complete a piece of work in 120 Days and employed 140 men upon it. At the end of 66 days only half of the work was done,so he put on 25 extra men. By how much time did he exceed the specific time ?

A) 2 days B) 3 days
C) 4 days D) 5 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2 days

Explanation:

work done=total number of person x number of days;
half of work done = 140 x 66;
For half of remaining work 25 extra men are added.
Therefore, total men for half work remaining = 140 + 25 = 165;
Let 2nd half work will be completed in K days;
140 x 66 = 165 x K
K = 122;
Hence, extra days => 122-120 = 2days.

Q:

In how many years, Rs. 200 will produce the same interest @ 5 % as Rs. 900 produce in 2 years @ 3 ½ %  ?

A) 5.2 yrs B) 7 yrs
C) 7.9 yrs D) 6.3 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6.3 yrs

Explanation:

P = Rs. 900, R = 3 ½ % = 7/2 %, T = 2 years. 

Therefore, 

S.I. = PTR/100

S.I. = Rs. (900 x 7/2 x 2/100) = Rs. 63

Now, P = Rs. 200, S.I. = Rs. 63, R = 5 %

Time = ((100 x 63) / (200 x 5) ) years = 6.3 years.
