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: 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: 4:3
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: 40
Explanation:
Remaining 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: 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).
Correct Answer: 50 days
Explanation:
50 men can build a tank in 40 days
Assume 1 man does 1 unit of work in 1 day
Then the total work is 50×40 = 2000 units
50 men work in the first 10 days and completes 50×10 = 500 units of work
45 men work in the next 10 days and completes 45×10 = 450 units of work
40 men work in the next 10 days and completes 40×10 = 400 units of work
35 men work in the next 10 days and completes 35×10 = 350 units of work
So far 500 + 450 + 400 + 350 = 1700 units of work is completed and
Remaining work is 2000 - 1700 = 300 units
30 men work in the next 10 days. In each day, they does 30 units of work.
Therefore, additional days required = 300/30 =10
Thus, total 10+10+10+10+10 = 50 days required.
Correct Answer: 8 hrs 34 min
Explanation:
Number of pages typed by Adam in 1 hour = 36/6 = 6
Number of pages typed by Smith in 1 hour = 40/5 = 8
Number of pages typed by both in 1 hour = (6 + 8) = 14
Time taken by both to type 110 pages = (120 * 1/14) =
= 8 hrs 34 min.
Correct Answer: 4 days
Explanation:
One day work of 6 boys and 8 girls is given as 6b + 8g = 1/10 -------->(I)
One day work of 26 boys and 48 women is given as 26b + 48w = 1/2 -------->(II)
Divide both sides by 2 in (I) and then multiply both sides by 5
Now we get, 15b + 20g = 1/4.
Therefore, 15 boys and 20 girls can do the same work in 4 days.
Correct Answer: 26 2/3 days
Explanation:
1/3 ---- 8
1 -------?
Hari can do total work in = 24 days
As satya is 60% efficient as Hari, then
Satya = 1/24 x 60/100 = 1/40
=> Satya can do total work in 40 days
1 ----- 40
2/3 ---- ? => 26 2/3 days.
