Correct Answer: 60 days
Explanation:
10 day's work by 15 men = 10/210 = 1/21
At the end of every 10 days 15 additional men are employed i.e., for the next 10 days we have 15 + 15 = 30 men
? Next 10 day's work by 30 men = 2/21
Hence in 20 days only (1/21 + 2/21) = 3/21 work is completed
To complete the whole work we have to reach the value of (21/21) work.
Now, (1/21) + (2/21) + (3/21) + ......... (6/21) = 21/21 = 1
Hence total time to complete the whole wok 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 60 days
Correct Answer: 37/11 days
Explanation:
A's 1 days 's work = 1/8
B ' s 1 days ' s = 1/10
C ' s day 's work = 1/20
(A + B + C)'s 1 days 's work = 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/20 = (5 + 4 + 2)/40 = 11/40
? (A + B + C ) can finish the work in 40/11 days or 3 7/11 days.
Correct Answer: 50
Explanation:
Let the original number of men = N
Time taken by N = 80 days
Now, (N - 10) men can finish the work in the (80 + 20) = 100 days
Here, M1 = N, M2 = (N - 10), D1 = 80 and D2 = 100
According to the formula.
M1D1 = M2D2
? N x 80 = 100 x (N - 10)
? 8N = 10N - 100
? 10N - 8N = 100
? N = 50
Correct Answer: 25 days
Explanation:
M1 = 250, D 1 = 33 days
per day meal W1 = W2 = 125 g
M2 = (250 + 80) =330 and D2=?
According to the formula
M1D1W2 = M2D2W1
250 x 33 x 125 = 330 x D2x 125
? D2 = (250 x 33)/330
? D2 = 25 days
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Efficiency of Kavita = 5%
Efficiency of Babita = 1.66%
Efficiency of Samita = 3.33%
Work done in 5 days by K + B + S = 5 x 10 = 50%
Work done in 3 days by K + B = 3 x 6.66 = 20%
Remaning work (30%) done by Kavita alone = 30/5 = 6 days
Correct Answer: 60 days
Explanation:
(A + B)'s 20 day's work = (20 x 1/30) = 2/3
Remaining work = (1 - 2/3) = 1/3
1/3 work is done by A in 20 days
Whole work can be done by A in (3 x 20) days = 60 days.
Correct Answer: 61/4 days
Explanation:
Efficiency is proportional to work done per day. Work done per day N number of days
= Amount of work done. Considering efficience of A and B initially as 1.
Let A alone can do the work in M days and B alone can do the same work in N days.
Then, 5/M + 5/N = Total work done = 1
Since efficiency of A and B are 2 and 1/3 respectively
? 6/M + 1/N = 1 ....(i)
and 1/M + 1/N = 5 .....(ii)
Now, subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we have M = 25/4 = 61/4 days.
Correct Answer: 16 days
Explanation:
? In 20 days the work is completed by = 16 men + 12 women
? In 1 day the work is completed by = 20 x (16 men + 12 women )
= 320 men + 240 women
In 40 days the work is complete by 18 women
? 1 day the work is complete by = 18 x 40 = 720 women
? 720 women = 320 men + 240 women
? (720 - 240)women = 320 men
? 480 women = 320 men
? 1 men = 480/320 = 3/2 women
? 12 men + 27 women = 12 x (3/2) + 27 = 45 women
? 18 women complete work in 40 days
? 45 women complete 1 work = 40 x 18/45 = 16 days
Correct Answer: 3.40 p.m.
Explanation:
? No. of pages typed by the typist A in 4 hours = 100 x 4/10 = 40
? No. of remaining pages = 100 - 40 = 60
Let B and C worked for H hours
? (100 x H)/20 + (100 x H)/25 = 60
? 5H + 4H = 60
? H = 60/9 = 20/3 hours = 6 hours 40 min
? The time at which the report was typed 03.40 p.m.
Correct Answer: 10 days
Explanation:
? In 10 days a work is complete by 15 men
? In 1 day a work is complete by = 15 x 10 = 150 men
? In 5 days the work is complete by = 20 boys
? 1 day the work is completed = 20 x 15 = 300 boys
? 150 men = 300 boys
or 1 men = 300/150 = 2 boys
10 men = 2 x 10 = 20 boys
10 men + 10 boys = 20 + 10 = 30 boys
? 20 boys complete the work in 15 days
? 30 boys complete the work in (15 x 20)/30 = 10 days
