- Question
- A man and a boy working together can complete a work in 24 days. If for the last 6 days, the man alone does the work, then it is completed in 26 days. How long will the boy take to complete the work alone?
Options- A. 72 days
- B. 73 days
- C. 49 days
- D. 62 days
- Correct Answer
- 72 days
ExplanationLet man's 1 day's work = 1/m
and boy's 1 day's work = 1/n
1 day's work man and boy = 1/24
Man's 6 day's work = 6/m
Now, for 20 days, both man and boy do the work and for last 6 days, only man does the work.
According to the question,
1/m + 1/n = 1/24
? 20(1/m + 1/n) + 6/m = 1
? 20 x (1/24) + 6/m = 1
? 6/m = (1 - 20/24) = 4/24 = 1/6
? 1/n = 1/36
Now from eq. (i)
1/m + 1/n = 1/24
1/36 + 1/n = 1/24
? 1/n = (1/24) - (1/36) = 1/72
Hence, the boy alone can do the work in 72 days. - 1. If a : b = 2 : 3 and 2 : a =1 : 2, then the value of 'b' is?

Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
? a / b = 2/3 and 2 / a = 1/2
? a/b x 2/a = 2/3 x 1/2
? 2/b = 1/3
? b = 6
Correct Answer: 3 : 20
Explanation:
0.6 x a = 0.09 x b
? a/b = 0.09 / 0.06 = 9 / 60 = 3 / 20 = 3 : 20
Correct Answer: 3 : 8
Explanation:
Let a/3 = b/8 = K
Then, a = 3K, b = 8K
? (a + 3) / (b + 8) = (3K + 3) / (8K + 8)
= [3( K + 1)] / [8(K+1)] = 3/8
? ( a + 3 ) : (b + 8) = 3 : 8

NA
Correct Answer: 9.09%
Explanation:
According to the question,
1728 = 1331(1 + R/100)3
1728/1331 = (1 + R/100)3
? (12/11)3 = (1 + R/100)3
? 1 + R/100 = 12/11
? R/100 = (12/11) - 1 = 1/11
? R = 100/11= 9.09%
Correct Answer: 1/2
