Options- A. 2 days
- B. 3 days
- C. 4 days

Explanation? In 5 days 14 workers make = 1400 toys.
? In 1 days 14 workers make toys = 1400/5 = 280 toys.
Number of remaining toys = 1400 - 280 = 1120
and number of total workers = 14 + 14 = 28
? 14 workers make 1400 toys in 5 days.
? 28 workers make 1120 toys = (5 x 14 x 1120)/(28 x 1400) = 2 days - 1. A is twice as good a workman as B and together they finish a piece of work in 14 days. A alone can finish the work in?

Correct Answer: 21 days
Explanation:
(A's 1 day's work) : (B's 1 day's work) = 2 : 1
Now, ? (A + B)'s day's work = 1/14
? A's 1 day's work = (1/14) x 2/3 = 1/21
? A alone can finish the work in 21 days.
[Dividing 1/14 in the ratio 2 : 1 ]
Correct Answer: (2x + y)4
Explanation:
? Factory A turns out x cars in one hour. Factory B turns out y/2 cars in one hour.
? In one hour both the factories A and B can turn out (x + y/2) cars
? In 8 hours both factories turn out = 8( x + y/2) cars
= 4(2x + y) cars.
Correct Answer: Rs. 45
Explanation:
Since a alone can finish a work in 10 days and B alone can do it in 15 days. So if they work together then the ration of work done by A and B is = (1/10) : (1/15).
? The wages A will get = (1/10)[(1/10) + (1/15)] x 75
= Rs. 45
Correct Answer: Rs. 20
Explanation:
? B's daily earning = Rs. (150 - 94) = Rs. 56
? A's daily earning = Rs. (150 - 76) = Rs. 74
? C's daily earning = Rs. [(150 - (56 + 74)] = Rs. 20
Correct Answer: 62/3
Explanation:
1 day work of A = 1/10 = 0.1
1 day work of B = 1/10 + 60% of 1/10 = 0.1 + 0.06 = 0.16
So number of days taken by B to complete the work = 1/0.16
= 62/3
Correct Answer: 8 days
Explanation:
? In 12 days the work is done by = 24 boys
? In 1 day the work is done by = 24 x 12 = 288 boys
? In 9 days the work is done by = 16 men
? 1 day work is done by = 16 x 9 = 144 men
? 144 men = 288 boys
? 1 men = 288/144 = 2 boys
? 12 men + 12 boys = 12 x 2 + 12 = 36 boys
? 24 boys complete 1 work in 12 days
? 36 boys complete 1 work in (12 x 24)/36 = 8 days
Correct Answer: 36 days
Explanation:
In 16 days the work is done by 24 men
? In 1 day the work is done by = (24 x 16) men
In 24 days the work is done by = 36 women
? In 1 day the work is done by = (36 x 24) women
? (16 x 24) men = 36 x 24 women
? 1 man = (36 x 24)/(16 x 24)
? 8 men = [(36 x 24)/(16 x 24)] x 8 =18 women
? 8 men + 6 women = (18 + 6) = 24 women
? 36 women do 1 work in 24 days
? 24 women do 1 work in 24 x 36 / 24 = 36 days
Correct Answer: 8 days
Explanation:
A's 1 day's work = 1/12
B's 1 day's work = 1/24
(A + B) 1 day's work = 1/12 + 1/24 days
= (2 + 1)/24 = 3/24 = 1/8
? (A + B)'s will finish the work in 8 days.
Correct Answer: 8 days
Explanation:
Let the required days be x.
A works for (x - 2) days, while B work for x days.
According to the question
(x - 2)/10 + x/20 = 1
? 2x - 4 + x = 20
? 3x = 24
? x = 8 days
Correct Answer: 24 h
Explanation:
A's and B,s 1 h work= 1/10
B's and C,s 1 h work = 1/15
and A's and C's 1 h work = 1/12
? A's B's and C's 1 h work
= (1/2) x [(1/10) + (1/15) + (1/12)] = (1/2) x (1/4) = 1/8
Hence B's work in 1 h = (1/8) - (1/12) = 1/24
? B independently can complete the work in 24 h.
