Options- A. 36
- B. 40
- C. 42
- D. 38
- Correct Answer
- 40
ExplanationRemaining work = 1 - 9/10 = 1/10
=> A & B together completes 1/10 of work in 4 days
=> 1 work can completed in ------ ? days
Let it be x days
=>
=> x = 40 days.
Hence, A & B together can complete the work in 40 days.

Correct Answer: 7
Explanation:
Given (3 Men + 4 Women + 6 Children) -----> 9 days
But W = 2M and C = M/2
Now, convert Men and Children into Women by
Therefore, 7 women alone can complete this work in 9 days.
Correct Answer: 1/6
Explanation:
Given X can do in 10 days
=> 1 day work of X = 1/10
Y can do in 15 days
=> 1 day work of Y = 1/15
1day work of (X + Y) = 1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6
Given they are hired for 5 days
=> 5 days work of (X + Y) = 5 x 1/6 = 5/6
Therefore, Unfinished work = 1 - 5/6 = 1/6
Correct Answer: 25 days
Explanation:
Let Q complete that work in 'L' days
=>
=>
L = 25 days.
Correct Answer: 15 days
Explanation:
We know that Time is inversely proportional to Efficiency
Here given time ratio of P & P+Q as
P/P+Q = 150/100 = 3:2
Efficiency ratio of P & Q as
P:Q = 2:1 ....(1)
Given Efficiency ratio of Q & R as
Q:R = 3:1 ....(2)
From (1) & (2), we get
P:Q:R = 6:3:1
P alone can finish the work in
22.5(3+1)/6 = 15 days.
Correct Answer: 1232
Explanation:
From the given data,
Day Capacity
A -> 12 2
B -> 8 3 2
A + B + C -> 2 12
=> Capacity of C = 12 - 5 = 7
Ratio of capacity of A : B : C = 2 : 3 : 7
Difference of wages of C & B = 4/5 x 1540
= 4 x 308 = Rs. 1232
Correct Answer: 4:3
Explanation:
(20 x 18) men can complete the work in in one day.
one man's one day work = 1/360
(18 x 15) women can complete the work in 1 day
1 woman's one day work = 1/270
So, required ratio = = 4:3
Correct Answer: 16 days
Explanation:
(16M + 12W) x 20 = 18W x 40
=> 2M = 3W
Then,
Convert all men into women
12M + 27W = 27 + 12 x 3/2W = 45W
Let number of days required be 'D'
=> 18 x 40 = 45 x D
=> D = 16 days.
Correct Answer: 4 hours
Explanation:
Rate of leakage = 8.33% per hour
Net efficiency = 50 - (16.66 + 8.33)= 25%
Time required = 100/25 = 4 hours
Correct Answer: 18
Explanation:
Clearly total persons are increased in 28/35 :: 52/65 = 4:5.
As time is inversely proportional to men, so total time will decrease in the ratio 5:4.
Hence, 22.5 x 4/5 = 18 days.
Correct Answer: 10 days
Explanation:
After 10 days, the remaining food would be sufficient for the 1000 students for 20 more days
-->If 1000 more students are added, it shall be sufficient for only 10 days (as the no. of students is doubled, the days are halved).
