- Question
K is 4 times as fast as L and working together, they can complete a work in 24 days. In how many days can L alone complete the work ?
Options- A. 30 days
- B. 40 days
- C. 120 days
- D. 80 days
- Correct Answer
- 30 days
ExplanationGiven K=4L
-->K+L = 4L+L = 5L
These 5L people can complete the work in 24 days, which means L alone can do the work in (24 x 5)=120 days.
Hence, K alone can do the work in 120/4= 30 days.

Correct Answer: 15
Correct Answer: 4 : 8 : 3
Correct Answer: 1260
Correct Answer: 1600
Correct Answer: 12 days
Correct Answer: 15 days
Explanation:
In one day work done by K = 1/20
Work done by K in 2 days = 1/10
Work done by K,L,M on 3rd day =1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60 = 1/10
Therefore, workdone in 3 days is = 1/10 + 1/10 = 1/5
1/5th of the work will be completed at the end of 3 days.
The remaining work = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5
1/5 of work is completed in 3 days
Total work wiil be done in 3 x 5 = 15 days.
Correct Answer: 12 days
Explanation:
It is given that efficiency ratio =3:1
so time ratio will be 1:3 (since work is same)
Also given that time diff = 32 days. ratio difference = 3-1 =2
2 ratio = 32 days
1 ratio = 16 days.
So A will alone finish it in 16 days and B will finish it in 16*3 = 48 days.
Total work = LCM of 16 and 48 = 48.
Total time = Total work/Total efficiency
ie; 48/4= 12 days.
Correct Answer: 175
Explanation:
Given that,
working days = 5
working hours = 8
A man get rupess per hour is Rs.2.40
So in one day the man get total rupees is 2.40 x 8 = 19.2
So in 5 days week the man get total rupees is 19.2 x 5 = 96
So in 4 week the man get total rupees is 96 x 4 = 384
So the man worked for = 160hours in 4 weeks
But given that the man earned Rs.432
Hence remaning money is (432-384 = 48)which is earn by doing overtime work
Overtime hours = 48/3.20 = 15
So total worked hours is = 15 + 160 = 175.
Correct Answer: 6 days
Explanation:
K's 1 day's salary = 1/10
L's 1 day's salary = 1/15
Together their 1 day's salary = 1/10 + 1/15
= 3/30 + 2/30
= 5/30
= 1/6
So the money will be enough for paying them both for 6 days.
Correct Answer: 7.5 hrs
Explanation:
Ratio of times taken by A and B = 160 : 100
A can do the work in 12 days
Let B can do the work in "D" days
=> 160:100 = 12 : D
=> D = 12 x 100/160 = 7.5 hrs
