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 =

we know that m1 x d1 = m2 x d2
=> 4 x 6 = 5 x d
where d = no. of days taken by 5 men to paint

Correct Answer: 16 $
Explanation:
Let the 1 day work of a boy=b and a girl=g, then
2b + g = 1/5 ---(i) and
b + 2g = 1/6 ---(ii)
On solving (i) & (ii), b=7/90, g=2/45
As payment of work will be in proportion to capacity of work and a boy is paid $ 28/week,
so a girl will be paid
= 16 $.
Correct Answer: [6 + (261/315)] days
Explanation:
After day 1, A finishes 1/9 of the work.
After day 2, B finishes 1/7 more of the total work. (1/9) + (1/7) is finished.
After day 3, C finishes 1/5 more of total work. Total finished is 143/315.
So, after day 6, total work finished is 286/315.
Now remaining work = 29 /315
On day 7, A will work again
Work will be completed on day 7 when A is working. He must finish 29/315 of total remaining work.
Since he takes 9 days to finish the total task, he will need 261/315 of the day.
Total days required is 6 + (261/315) days.
Correct Answer: 7.5 hrs
Explanation:
Let there are L men
job requires LK man hours.
job completed in first 4 hrs = L x 4 = 4L
job completed in next 4 hrs = 4 x L/2 = 2L
job completed in next 4 hrs = 4 x L/4 = L
job completed in last 4 hrs = 4 x L/8 = L/2
4L + 2L + L + L/2 = KL
K = 7+1/2 = 7.5 hours.
Correct Answer: 120
Explanation:
1/15 + 1/12 + 1/R = 1/6, we got R = 60 (it means R will take 60 days to complete the work alone)
so ratio of work done by P:Q:R = 1/15 : 1/12 : 1/60 = 5 : 4 : 1
so R share = (1/10) x 1200 = 120.
