- Question
P alone can do a piece of work in 24 days. The time taken by P to complete one-third of work is equal to time taken by Q to complete half of the work. How many days are required to complete by P and Q working together ?
Options- A. 9 3/5 days
- B. 7 days
- C. 6 3/7 days
- D. 8 days
- Correct Answer
- 9 3/5 days
ExplanationLet 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 : 9
Explanation:
Let the amount of juice and water in original mixture '4x' litre and '3x' litre respectively.
According to given data,
4x/3x+6 =8/7
28x=24x+48
28x?24x=48
4x = 48
x = 12
Amount of juice = 4x = 4×12 = 48 litre.
Correct Answer: 2:1
Explanation:
Ratio of milk andwater = 4:1
Quantity of water = 35/5 = 7 litres
Quantity of milk = 35 X 4/5 = 28 litres
If 7 litre of water is added, new quantity of water = 14 litre
New ratio of milk and water = 28:14 = 2:1
Correct Answer: 652

Correct Answer: 850
Explanation:
? = 6.39 x 128.948 + 5.215 ÷ 12.189 + 25.056
= 639 x 128.948 + 5.215 x (1/12.189) + 25.056
= 823.97772 + 0.427844778 + 25.056
= 849.4615648 ? 852
Correct Answer: 64
Explanation:
By the formula, speed= Distance/ Time
= (240 + 240)/27 x (18/5)
= 480/27 x 18/5 = 64 km/h
Correct Answer: 2689
Explanation:
