Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
6 x 12 men = 8 x 18 women = 18 x 10 children
? 12 men = 24 women = 30 children
? 2 men = 4 women = 5 children
Now, 4 men + 12 women + 20 children = 4 men + 6 men + 8 men = 18 men
Time to do remaining work in 1 man = (6 x 12 - 18 x 2) = 36 days
? Required number of men to finish the work in 1 days = 36
Correct Answer: 90
Explanation:
Work done by A in 4 days = 4/20 = 1/5
? Remaining work = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5
Let C can working alone complete the work in N days .
According to the question,
18/30 + 18/N = 4/5
? 18(N + 30) x 5 = 4 x 30 x N
? 90N + 2700 = 120N
? 30N = 2700
? N = 90 days
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Let B left work after N days from the start.
According to the question,
N/25 + (N + 7)/15 = 1
? (3N + 5N + 35) / 75 = 1
? 8N = 75 - 35
? N = 40/8
? N = 5
Correct Answer: 71/2
Explanation:
(Man and his friend)'s 1 day's work = 1/3
Men's 1 day's work = 1/5
His friend's 1 day's work is = 1/3 - 1/5 = 2/15
Hence, his friend can complete the work in 15/2 = 71/2
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
Given, M1 = 16, T1 = 18,
W1 = 36 x 4 x 24, D1 = 20 and M2 = ?
T2 = 12, W2 = 64 x 6 x 18, D2 = 16
According to the formula,
M1D1T1/ W1 = M2D2T2/ W2
? 16 x 20 x (18/36) x 4 x 24 = M2 x 12 x (16/64) x 6 x 18
? (15/36) x 24 = M2 x (2/64) x 6 x 18
? M2 = 60 men
Correct Answer: 24 days
Explanation:
According to the question,
2 children = 1 man
? (16 children + 24 men) = (8 + 24) men = 32 men
Given M1 = 32, M2 = 24, D1 = 18, D2 = ?
and W1 = W2 = 1
According to the formula, M1D1W2 = M2D2W1
? 32 x 18 x 1 = 24 x D2 x 1
? D2 = (32 x 18)/24 = 8 x 3 = 24 days
Correct Answer: 44
Explanation:
Let time taken by B = N
Then, time taken by A = 2N
and time taken by C = 3N
According to the question,
(1/N) + (1/2N) + (1/3N) = 1/12
? 1 + (1/2) + (1/3) = N/12
? (6 + 3 + 2)/6 = N/12
? 11 = N/2
? N = 22
? Required number of days = 2N = 2 x 22 = 44 days
Correct Answer: 10 days
Explanation:
According to the question,
1 man = 2 women
? 10 men + 8 women = (20 + 8) women = 28 women
4 men + 6 women = (8 + 6) women = 14 women
Given, M1 = 28, M2 = 14, D1 = 5, D2 = ?
and W1 = W2 = 1
According to the formula, M1D1W2= M2D2W1
? 28 x 5 x 1 = 14 x D2 x 1
? D2 = (28 x 5)/14 = 10 days
Correct Answer: 15 days
Explanation:
According to the question,
5 men's 1 day's work = 1/15 .....(i)
? 5 men's 5 day's work = (1/15) x 5 = 1/3
? Remaining work = 1 - (1/3) = 2/3
5 men + 10 women can do 2/3 of the work in 5 days.
? 5 men + 10 women can do the whole of the work in 15/2 days.
? (5 men + 10 women's) 1 day's work = 2/15 .......(ii)
10 women 1 days work = (2/15) - 5 men's 1 day's work
= (2/15) - (1/15)
= 1/15
? 10 women can finish the work in 15 days
Correct Answer: 35
Explanation:
According to the formula
M1D1T1/W1= M2D2T2/W2
Given M1 = 105 D1 = 25 T1 = 8 W1 = 2/5
Now let the additional men be N
Then, M2 = 105 + N, T2 = 9, D2 = 25 and W2 =1 - (2/5) = 3/5
On putting these value in the above formula
(105 x 25 x 8) / (2/5) = [(105 + N) x 25 x 9] / (3/5)
? (105 x 8) / 2 = (105 + N) x (9/3)
? 105 x 4 = (105 + N) x 3
? 105 x 4 = 105 x 3 +3N
? 3N = 105
? N = 35 men
