- 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. Two train start at the same time Aligarh and Delhi and processed toward each other at 16 km/hr and 21 km/hr respectively when they meet, it is found that one train has travelled 60 km more than the other. The distance between two station is?

Correct Answer: 444 km.
Explanation:
Suppose they meet after y hours .
Then, 21y - 16y = 60
? y = 12
?required distance = (16 x 12 + 21 x 12) km.
= 444 km.
Correct Answer: 22 yrs
Explanation:
Let Reena?s present age be 'K' yrs.
Given:{(K+3) x 4} - {(K-3) x 3)}
=> K = 21 yrs
So her present age is 21 yrs.
Then, her age after 1 year is 22 yrs.
Correct Answer: 10 yrs
Explanation:
Let C's age be x years.
Then, B's age = 2x years.
A's age = (2x + 2) years.
(2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27
5x = 25 => x = 5
Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years.
Correct Answer: 50 years, 20 years
Correct Answer: 4 years
Explanation:
suppose the ages of Sunil and Anil are 8x yr and 7x yr, respectively.
After 6 yr, = 136x + 102 = 133x + 114
136x ? 133x = 114 ? 102
3x = 12 X = 12/3 = 4
Age of Sunil = 8x = 8 × 4 = 32 yr
Present age Anil = 7x = 7 × 4 = 28 yr
Required difference = (32 ? 28) = 4 yr
Correct Answer: x + 1
Correct Answer: 54
Correct Answer: 15 years
