- Question
- If 12 men or 18 women can do a piece of work in 14 days, then how long will 8 men and 16 women take to finish the work?
Options- A. 9 days
- B. 10 days
- C. 12 days
- D. 14 days
- Correct Answer
- 9 days
Explanation12 men ? 18 women
? 1 man ? 18/12 women ? 3/2 women
? 8 men ? (3/2) x 8 = 12 women
? 8 men + 16 women = 12 women + 16 women = 28 women
? 18 women can do the work in 14 days .
? 1 woman can do the same work in (14 x 18) days.
? 28 women will do the same work in (14 x 18)/28 days.
? Required number of days = (14 x 18)/28 = 9 days - 1. 64, 71, 80, 91, 104, 119, 135, 155

Correct Answer: 135
Explanation:
So, 135 is wrong.
Correct Answer: 2124
Explanation:
3rd term = (2nd term) x 2 + 2 = 16 x 2 + 2 = 34.
4th term = (3th term) x 3 + 3 = 34 x 3 + 3 = 105.
5th term = (4th term) x 4 + 4 = 105 x 4 + 4 = 424
6th term = (5th term) x 5 + 5 = 424 x 5 + 5 = 2125
∴ 6th term should 2125 instead of 2124.
Correct Answer: 80
Explanation:
So, 80 is wrong.
Correct Answer: 8 km/h
Explanation:
Downstream speed of boat = Speed of boat in still water + Speed of stream
= 24 + 8 = 32 km/h
? Required time = Distance/Speed downstream
= 128/32 = 4 km/h
Correct Answer: 8 km/h
Explanation:
Speed of a boat in still water = distance / time = 12/1 = 12 km/h
Speed against the current = 12/3 km/h
Let the speed of the current = x km/h
According to the question,
12 - x = 4
? x = 8 km/h
Correct Answer: 12 km
Explanation:
Speed downstream = (9 + 3) km/hr = 12km/hr
Speed upstream = = (9 - 3) km/hr = 6km/hr
Let the distance AB = d km
Then, d/6 + d/12 = 3
? 2d + d = 36
? d = 12
? Distance AB = 12 km
Correct Answer: 29
Explanation:
If the first Saturday of June is in lst. Then, next Saturday will be on 8th, 15th , 22nd and 29th. So , last Saturday will be on 29th.
Correct Answer: 2.2 km/h
Explanation:
Speed downstream = 48/20 = 2.4 km/h
Speed upstream = 48/24 = 2 km/h
? Speed of boat in still water = (Speed downstream + Speed upstream)/2
= (2.4 + 2)/2 = 4.4/2 = 2.2 km/h
Correct Answer: 63/80
Explanation:
Required probability = P(A) x P(B)
= (7/8) x (9/10)
= 63/80
Correct Answer: 1.2 km/h
Explanation:
Speed upstream = Distance/Time = 60/10 = 6 km/h
Speed upstream = Distance/Time = 36/10 = 3.6 km/h
? Velocity of the current = (speed downstream - Speed upstream)/2
= (6 - 3.2)/2 = 1.2 km/h
