Correct Answer: 12 6/7 days
Explanation:
Let 'B' alone can do the work in 'x' days
6/30 + 18/x = 1
=> x = 22.5
1/30 + 1/22.5 = 7/90
=> 90/7 = 12 6/7 days
Correct Answer: Half work
Explanation:
A can do the work = 18 days
B can do the work = 18/2 = 9 days
(A + B)'s 1 day work = 1/18 + 1/9 = 1/6
=> In 3 days = 3x1/6 = 1/2 work is completed.
Correct Answer: 225 days
Explanation:
Given that
(10M + 15W) x 6 days = 1M x 100 days
=> 60M + 90W = 100M
=> 40M = 90W
=> 4M = 9W.
From the given data,
1M can do the work in 100 days
=> 4M can do the same work in 100/4= 25 days.
=> 9W can do the same work in 25 days.
=> 1W can do the same work in 25 x 9 = 225 days.
Hence, 1 woman can do the same work in 225 days.
Correct Answer: 4 days
Explanation:
From the given data,
=> (2 M + 3W) 8 = (3M + 2W)7
=> 16M + 24W = 21M + 14 W
=> 10W = 5M
=> 2W = M
=> 14W × ? = 7W × 8
? = 4 days
Correct Answer: 80
Explanation:
Let A's 1 day's work=x and B's 1 day's work=y
Then x+y = 1/40 and 20x+60y=1
Solving these two equations , we get : x= 1/80 and y= 1/80
Therefore B's 1 day work = 1/80
Hence,B alone shall finish the whole work in 80 days
Correct Answer: 9 3/5 days
Explanation:
Let the total work be 'W'
As per the given information,
P can complete the work 'W' in 24 days.
=> one day work of P = W/24
And also given that,
The time taken by P to complete one-third of work is equal to time taken by Q to complete half of the work
=> PW/3 = QW/2
=> P's
1 day = W/24
? = W/3
=> ? = 24W/3W = 8
=> QW/2 = 8 days
=> Q alone can complete the work W in 16 days
=> P + Q can complete the work in
1/24 + 1/16 = 5/48
=> 48/5 days = 9 3/5 days.
Correct Answer: 4 days
Explanation:
Given that
6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days
26 men and 48 boys can do the same in 2 days
As the work done is equal,
10(6M + 8B) = 2(26M + 48B)
60M + 80B = 52M + 96B
=> M = 2B
=> B = M/2 ??(1)
Now Put (1) in 15M + 20B
=> 15M + 10M = 25M
Now, 6M + 8B in 10 days
=> (6M + 4M) 10 = 100M
Then D(25M) = 100M
=> D = 4 days.
Correct Answer: 64 days
Explanation:
(P+Q)'s 1 day work = 1/24
P's 1 day work = 1/32
=> Q's 1 day work = 1/24 - 1/32 = 1/96
Work done by (P+Q) in 8 days = 8/24 = 1/3
Remainining work = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3
Time taken by Q to complete the remaining work = 2/3 x 96 = 64 days.
Correct Answer: 26.6 days
Explanation:
Arun has completed rd of the work in 8 days
Then he can complete the total work in
---- 8
1 ---- ?
= 24 days
But given Akhil is only 60% as efficient as Arun
Akhil =
Akhil can complete the total work in 40 days
Now, remaining 2/3rd of work can be completed in
1 ------ 40
------ ?
= 26.66 days.
Correct Answer: 4 days
Explanation:
Given 10 men take 15 days to complete a work
=> Total mandays = 15 x 10 = 150
Let the work be 150 mandays.
=> Now 37 men can do 150 mandays in 150/37 =~ 4 days
