Twelve children take sixteen days to complete a work which can be completed by 8 adults in 12 days. After working for 3 days, sixteen adults left and six adults and four children joined them. How many days will they take to complete the remaining work ?

Correct Answer: 123

Explanation:

We know that,  M 1 × D 1 W 1 = M 2 × D 2 W 2

Here M1 = 1, D1 = 6 min, W1 = 1 and M2 = M, D2 = 90 min, W2 = 1845

 

1 × 6 1 = M × 90 1845 

=> M = 123

Correct Answer: 17.5 days

Explanation:

Let the number of days be 'p' 

As the work is same, we know that

M 1 x D 1 x H 1 = M 2 x D 2 x H 2

Where M = Men, D = Days, H = Hours per day 

Here M1 = 9, D1 = 15, H1 = 7 

M2 = 6, D2 = p, H2 = 9 

=> 9 x 15 x 7 = 6 x p x 9 

=> p = 35/2 = 17.5 days.

Correct Answer: 56000 liters

Explanation:

Let x liter be the per day filling and v litr be the capacity of the reservoir, then 

      90x + v = 40000 * 90     -----(1)

      60x + v= 32000 * 60     ------(2)

solving eq.(1) and (2) , we get

      x = 56000

Hence , 56000 liters per day can be used without the failure of supply.

Correct Answer: 20 hrs

Explanation:

Time taken by both Meghana and Ganesh to work together is given by =

t 1 x t 2

Where

$$\begin{gathered} t 1 = 32 h r s \\ t 2 = 12 1 2 h r s = 25 2 h r s \end{gathered}$$

 

Therefore, time took by both to work together = 

32 x 25 2 = 16 x 25 = 4 x 5 = 20 h r s

Correct Answer: 2

Explanation:

Let workdone 1 boy in 1 day be b

and that of 1 girl be g

From the given data,

4(5b + 3g) = 23

20b + 12g = 23 .......(a)

 

2(3b + 2g) = 7

6b + 4g = 7 ........(b)

 

Solving (a) & (b), we get

b = 1, g = 1/4

 

Let number og girls required be 'p'

6(7 x 1 + p x 1/4) = 45

=> p = 2.

 

Hence, number of girls required = 2

Correct Answer: 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.

Correct Answer: 1900

Explanation:

Given 2000 ---- 54 days

The provisions for 2000 men for 39 days can be completed by 'm' men for only 20 days.

i.e, 2000 ----- 39 days == m ---- 20 days

=> m x 20 = 2000 x 39

m = 3900

So total men for 20 days is 3900

=> 2000 old and 1900 new reinforcement.

Hence, reinforcement = 1900.

Correct Answer: 9

Explanation:

The mother completes the job in x hours.
So, the daughter will take 2x hours to complete the same job.

 

In an hour, the mother will complete 1/x of the total job.
In an hour, the daughter will complete 1/2x of the total job.

 

So, if the mother and daughter work together, in an hour they will complete 1/x + 1/2x of the job.
i.e., in an hour they will complete 3/2x of the job.

 

The question states that they complete the entire task in 6 hours if they work together.
i.e., they complete 1/6 th of the task in an hour.

 

Equating the two information, we get 3/2x = 1/6
By solving for x, we get 2x = 18 or x = 9.

 

The mother takes 9 hours to complete the job.

Correct Answer: 10

Explanation:

One day work of Raghu and Sam together = 1/12 + 1/15 = 9/60 = 3/20

Aru efficiency = 2/3 of (Raghu + Sam)

Number of days required for Aru to do thw work alone = 3/2 x 20/3 = 10 days. 

Correct Answer: 5 days

Explanation:

B's 8 days work=(1/12) x 8 = 2/3

Reaining work= 1/3

Now, 1/15 work is done by A in 1 day

Therefore, 1/3 work is done by A in 15 x (1/3) = 5 days
