Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
Given, M1 = 20.
M2 = 20 + k
W1 = 1/3, W2 = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3
D1 = 20 and D2 = 25
According to the formula,
M1D1W2 = M2D2W1
? 20 x 20 x (2/3) = (20 + k) x 25 x 1/3
? 20 x 20 x (2/3) = (20 + k) x 25/3
? 16 x 2 = 20 + k
? k = 32 - 20 = 12
Correct Answer: n3/m2
Explanation:
Let the required number of units of work = k
According to the formula,
W1= m and W2 = k
M1T1D1W2 = M2T2D2W1
? m x m x m x k = n x n x n x m
? x= (m x n3) / m3 = n3/m2
Correct Answer: 32
Explanation:
Given, M1 = 40, W1 = 200, T1 = 8, D1 = 12,
M2 = 30, W2 = 300, T2 = 6 and D2 = ?
Then, using formula
M1T1D1W2 = M2T2D2W1
? 40 x 8 x 12 x 300 = 30 x 6 x D2 x 200
? D2 = (40 x 8 x 12 x 300)/(30 x 6 x 200) = 32 days.
Correct Answer: 72
Explanation:
Given, M1 = 20, T1 = 4, W1 = 30,
M2 = 20 - 4 = 16, T2 = 12 and W2 = ?
According to the formula,
M1T1W2 = M2T2W1
? 20 x 4 x W2 = 16 x 12 x 30
? W2 = (16 x 12 x 30)/(20 x 4) = 12 x 6 = 72 trees
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
Given, M1 = 12, M2 = 8 , D1 = 24 , W1 = 1, W2 = 1
According to the formula,
M1D1W2 = M2D2W1
? 12 x 24 x 1= 8 x D2 x 1
? D2 = (12 x 24)/8
= 12 x 3 = 36 days
Correct Answer: 12 days
Explanation:
3 men = 4 women
? 1 man = 4/3 women
? 7 men + 5 women = 7 x (4/3) + 5 = 43/3 women
? M1D1W2 = M2D2W1
? 4 x 43 x 1 = (43/3) x D2 x 1
? D2 = 3 x 4 = 12 days
Correct Answer: 16
Explanation:
(A+ B )' s 1 day ' s work = 1/18
(B +C )'s 1 day ' s work = 1/24
(C + A) 's 1 day 's work = 1/36
From Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
2(A + B + C)' s 1 day 's work = 1/18 + 1/24 + 1/36
(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = (4 + 3 + 2)/(72 x 2)
= 9/(72 x 2) = 1/16
? (A + B + C) can complete the work in 16 days
Correct Answer: 120 days
Explanation:
(A + B )'s 1 day ' s work = 1/72
(B + c)'s 1 day' s work = 1/120
(A + C)'s 1 day's work = 1/90
2(A + B + C)'s 1 days work = 1/72 + 1/120 + 1/90
? ( A + B + C )'s 1 day's work (5 + 3 + 4)/(360 x 2) = 12/(360 x 2) = 1/60
? A's 1 day's work = (A + B + C) 's 1 day's work - (B + C)'s 1 day's work
= 1/60 - 1/120 = (2 - 1)/120 = 1/120
? A alone can finish the work in 120 days.
Correct Answer: 5 days
Explanation:
25 men reap the field in 20 days
? 10 men can reap the feild in (20 x 25)/ 10 = 50 days.
When 15 men leave the work, 10 men remain and they can reap in 371/2 days
= (371/2)/ 50 = 3/4 of the field
Hence, all men must work till (1 - 3/4) = 1/4 of the field is reaped in 20/4 = 5 days.
Correct Answer: 2 hours
Explanation:
? (1/5 + 1/9 + 1/15) = 17/45 work is finished in 1 hour
? Remaining work = 1 - 17/45 = 28/45
? (A + B)'s 1 hour's work = 1/5 + 1/9 = 14/45
14/45 work is done by (A and B) in 1 hour
28/45 work will be done by A and B in (45/14) x (28/45) = 2 hours
