- Question
P alone can complete a piece of work in 6 days. Work done by Q alone in one day is equal to one-third of the work done by P alone in one day. In how many days can the work be completed if P and Q work together ?
Options- A. 5 (2/3)
- B. 6 (3/4 )
- C. 4 (1/2)
- D. 3
- Correct Answer
- 4 (1/2)
ExplanationWork done by P alone in one day = 1/6th of the total work done by Q alone in one day = 1/3(of that done by P in one day) = 1/3(1/6 of the total) = 1/18 of the total.
Work done by P and Q, working together in one day = 1/6 + 1/18 = 4/18 = 2/9
They would take 9/2 days = 4 (1/2) days to complete the work working together.

Correct Answer: 102 men
Explanation:
From the above formula i.e (m1 x t1/w1) = (m2 x t2/w2)
so, [(34 x 8 x 9)/(2/5)] = [(M x 6 x 9)/(3/5)]
so, M = 136 men
Number of men to be added to finish the work = 136-34 = 102 men.
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
(45 x 9)/40 = (M x 7)/56 => M = 81
=> 81 ? 45 = 36
Correct Answer: 2:1
Explanation:
5M + 2B = 4(1M + 1B)
5M + 2B = 4M + 4B
1M = 2B
The required ratio of work done by a man and a boy = 2:1
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.
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: 235/2
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
(A+B)'s 15 days work =
Remaining work = 1/4
Now, 1/4 work is done by A in 10 days.
Whole work will be done by A in (10 x 4) = 40 days.
Correct Answer: 2:1
Explanation:
(10 * 6) women can complete the work in 1 day.
Therefore, 1 woman's 1 day's work = 1/60
(6 * 5) men can complete the work in 1 day.
Therefore, 1 man's 1 day's work = 1/30
so, required ratio =1/30 : 1/60 = 2:1
Correct Answer: 4/3 days
Explanation:
Let the total number of documents to be printed be 12.
The number of documents printed by P in 1 day = 4.
The number of documents printed by Q in 1 day = 3.
The number of documents printed by R in 1 day = 2.
Thus, the total number of documents that can be printed by all the machines working simultaneously in a single day = 9.
Therefore, the number of days taken to complete the whole work = 12/9 = 4/3 days.
Correct Answer: 8 hrs 15 min
Explanation:
A can write in 1hour = 32/6 pages
Similarly, B in 1 hour = 40/5 pages
Together (A+B) in 1 hour = 32/6 + 40/5 = 40/3
So, A+B write 40/3 pages in 1 hour
A+B write 110 pages in (3/40) x 110 Hours = 8 hours 15 min.
