Correct Answer: 120 days
Explanation:
Efficiency of A = 100/24 = 4.16%
Efficiency of B = 100/30 = 3.33%
Efficiency of (A+ B+C) =100/12 = 8.33%
? Efficiency of C = (8.33) - (4.16 + 3.33) = 0.83%
? Number of days required by C to complete the work alone
= 100/0.83 = 100/(5/6) = 120 days
(Note : 5/6 = 0.833)
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Efficiency of A = 10%
Efficiency of B = 6.66%
? Required number of days = 100/16.66 = 6 days
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Efficiency of A = 12.5%
Efficiency of B = 6.25%
Efficiency of C = 1.25%
Efficiency of (A+ B + C) = (12.5 +6.25 + 1.25) = 20%
Required no of days = 100/20 = 5 days
Correct Answer: 41/2
Explanation:
12 men can complete 1/3 of the work in 3 days and the remaining 2/3 of the work in 6 days.
1 man can complete 2/3 of the work in (12 x 6) = 72 days
? (12 - 2 + 6) = 16 men can complete 2/3 of thye work in 72/16 = 41/2 days
Correct Answer: 7 days
Explanation:
? In 12 days work done by 14 men = 1
? In 4 days work done by 14 men = 1 x 4/12 = 1/3
? Remaining work = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3
and number of total men = 14 + 2 = 16
If 1 work is done by 14 men in 12 days
? 2/3 work is done by 16 men in 12 x (14/16) x (2/3) = 7 days
Correct Answer: 62/3%
Explanation:
Efficiency of A + B = 100/(20/3) = 15%
No. of days ( A:B ) = 4 : 5
Efficiency ( A:B ) = 5 : 4
? Efficiency of B = (4/9) x 15 = 20/3 = 62/3%
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
Efficiency of A + B = 33.33% = 100/3
Ratio of efficiency of A and B = 3 : 1
? Efficiency of A = (3/4) x 33.33 = 25%
? Number of days taken by A = 100/25 = 4
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
Efficiency of (A + B) = 8.33%
Efficiency of (B + C) = 6.66%
Efficiency of (C + A) = 5.00%
? Efficiency of A + B + C = (8.33 + 6.66 + 5) / 2 = 10%
? Efficiency of C = Efficiency of [(A + B + C) - (A + B) ]
= (10 - 8.33) = 1.66%
? No. of days required by C alone = 100/1.66 = 60days
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Efficiency of (A + B) = 12.5%
Efficiency of (B + C) = 8.33%
Efficiency of (C + A) = 12.5%
? Efficiency of [(A + B) + (B + C) + (C + A)] = 33.33%
? Efficiency of (A + B + C) = 16.66%
? No. of days Required by A, B and C together = 100/16.66 = 6 days
Correct Answer: 33/7 days
Explanation:
(A + B + C)' S 1 day's work = (1/24) + (1/6) + (1/12) = 7/24
? (A + B + C) can do the entire work in = 24/7
= 33/7 days
