- 2 men and 3 women finish 25% of the work in 4 days, while 6 men and 14 women can finish the whole work in 5 days, In how many days will 20 women finish it?
Options- A. 20
- B. 25
- C. 24
- D. 88
- Correct Answer
- 20
Explanation8M + 12W = 4 days (whole work)
? 32M + 48W = 1 day ................ (1)
Again 6M + 14W = 5 days
? 30M + 70W = 1 day ................(2)
From eq. (1) and (2)
32M + 48W = 30M +70W
? 2M = 22W
? 1M = 11W
Now, 30M + 70W = 1 day
(30 X 11 X 70)W = 1 day
Therefore 400W requires 1 day to complete the whole work.
Thus 20W needs 20 days to complete the whole work. - 1. X can do a work in 16 days. In how many days will the work be completed by Y, if the efficiency of Y is 60% more than that of X?

Correct Answer: 10 days
Explanation:
Ratio of time taken by X
and Y = 160 : 100 = 16 : 1
Suppose Y takes y days to the work.
Then, 1.6 : 1 = 16 : y
? y = (16 x 1)/1.6 = 10 days
Correct Answer: 6 h
Explanation:
Let time taken by B = N
Efficiency ? 1/Time taken
So, if B is 100% efficient, then A is 80% efficient.
So, 80/100 = N /(15/2)
? N = 6 h
Correct Answer: 9
Explanation:
A's 5 days' work = (1/15) x 5 = 1/3
Remaining work = 1 - (1/3) = 2/3
? (A + B)'s 1 day's work
= (1/15) + (1/10)
= (2 + 3(/30
= 5/30
= 1/6
? 2/3 work will be finished by (A + B) in (2/3) x 6 days or in 4 days .
? Total time taken = (5 + 4) days = 9 days
Correct Answer: 24 days
Explanation:
P,s 1 day's work = 1/12
Q's 1 day's work = 1/8
(P + Q)'s 1 day's work = (1/12) + (1/8)
= (2 + 3)/24
= 5/24
(P + Q + R)'s 1 day's work = 1/4
? R's 1 day's work = (1/4) - (5/24) = (6 - 5)/24 = 1/24
? R will finish the work alone in 24 days.
? Required time = 24 days
Correct Answer: 9
Explanation:
3 men = 6 children
? 1 man = 2 children
? 4 men + 4 children = 4 men + (4/2) men = 6 men
Given, M1 = 3, M2 = 6, D1 = 18, W1 = W2 = 1 and D2= ?
According to the formula,
M1D1W2 = M2D2W1
? 3 x 18 x 1 = 6 x D2 x 1
? D2 = 3 x 18/6 = 9 days
Correct Answer: 225 days
Explanation:
? One man alone finishes te work in 100 days.
? 10 men can finish the work in 10 day.
? 15 women can finish work in one days = 1/6 - 1/10 = 1/15 work
? 15 women finish the whole work in 15 days
? 1 women finishes the whole work in = 15 x 15 = 225 days
Correct Answer: Rs. 200
Explanation:
Work to be done by C = (1 - 7/11) = 4/11
? (A + B) : C = 7/11 : 4/11 = 7 : 4
? C's share = Rs. 550 x (4/11) = Rs. 200
Correct Answer: 2 days
Explanation:
Work completed by A + B in one day = 1/6 + 1/3 = 1/2
? Time taken by A + B to complete the work = 2 days.
Correct Answer: 60 days
Explanation:
? Work of (Ram + Dilip + Shekhar) for 1 day = 1/20
and work of (Ram + Dilip) for 1 day = 1/30
? Work of Shekhar for 1 day = 1 / 20 - 1 / 30 = 1/60
Hence, Shekhar will complete the work in 60 days.
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Time taken by Ramesh alone = (2/3) x 4 = 8/3 days
? Their 1 day's work = (1/4 + 1/6 + 3/8) = 19/24
So, together they can finish the work in 24 /19 days, i.e., 15/19 days.
