- Correct Answer
- 2
ExplanationTotal Water reqduired = 5000 × 150 lit = 750,000 litres = 750 cu.m.
Volume of tank = 20 × 15 × 5 = 1500 Cu.m.
Number of days required =1500/750 = 2 days.

Correct Answer: 200, 600, 400
Explanation:
Ratio of efficiencies of P, Q and R = 2 : 3 : 4
From the given data,
Number of working days of P, Q, R = 5 : 10 : 5
Hence, ratio of amount of p, Q, R = 2x5 : 3x10 : 4x5 = 10 : 30 : 20
Amounts of P, Q, R = 200, 600 and 400.
Correct Answer: 45
Correct Answer: 8 : 15
Explanation:
Given Lasya can do a work in 16 days.
Time taken by Rashmi = n days
=> (12 x 20)/(20 - 12) = (12 x 20)/n
=> n= 30 days.
Required ratio of efficiencies of Rashmi and Lasya = 1/30 :: 1/16 = 8 : 15.
Correct Answer: 1/6
Explanation:
Total work is given by L.C.M of 72, 48, 36
Total work = 144 units
Efficieny of A = 144/72 = 2 units/day
Efficieny of B = 144/48 = 3 units/day
Efficieny of C = 144/36 = 4 units/day
According to the given data,
2 x p/2 + 3 x p/2 + 2 x (p+6)/3 + 3 x (p+6)/3 + 4 x (p+6)/3 = 144 x (100 - 125/3) x 1/100
3p + 4.5p + 2p + 3p + 4p = 84 x 3 - 54
p = 198/16.5
p = 12 days.
Now, efficency of D = (144 x 125/3 x 1/100)/10 = 6 unit/day
(C+D) in p days = (4 + 6) x 12 = 120 unit
Remained part of work = (144-120)/144 = 1/6.
Correct Answer: 6 days
Explanation:
4/10 + 9/x = 1 => x = 15
Then both can do in
1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6 => 6 days
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Since 20% i.e 1/5 typists left the job. So, there can be any value which is multiple of 5 i.e, whose 20% is always an integer. Hence, 5 is the least possible value.
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Let work done by 1 man in i day be m
and Let work done by 1 boy in 1 day be b
From the given data,
4(5m + 3b) = 23
20m + 12b = 23....(1)
2(3m + 2b) = 7
6m + 4b = 7 ....(2)
By solving (1) & (2), we get
m = 1, b = 1/4
Let the number of required boys = n
6(7 1 + n x 1/4) = 45
=> n = 2.
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Raghu can complete the work in (12 x 9)hrs = 108 hrs.
Arun can complete the work in (8 x 11)hrs = 88 hrs.
Raghu's 1 hrs work = 1/108 and Arun's 1 hrs work = 1/88
(Raghu + Arun)'s 1 hrs work =
So, both Raghu and Arun will finish the work in
Number of days of 12 hours each= =
Correct Answer: 2 hrs
Explanation:
Given Prabhas is twice as good a workman as Rana.
Prabhas finishes the work in 3 hrs
=> Rana finishes the work in 6 hrs.
Number of hours required together they could finish the work
= 3 x 6 / 3 + 6
= 18/9
= 2 hrs.
Correct Answer: 96 days
Explanation:
Let number of days Charan can do the same work alone is 'd' days.
According to the given data,
Therefore, Charan alone can complete the work in 96 days.
