  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.25

    Eighteen person working 8 hours a day can complete 3 units of work in 10 days. How many days are required by 25 persons to complete 5 units of work working 6 hours a day?
    Solutions
    Eighteen person working 8 hours a day can complete 3 units of work in 10 days.

    Let 25 persons can complete 5 units of work working 6 hours a day in x days.

    x =

    Hence, Required number of days = 16

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.25

    A man and a woman, working together can do a work in 66 days. The ratio of their working efficiencies is 3 : 2. In how many days 6 men and 2 women working together can do the same work?
    Solutions

    Given:

    Ratio of working efficiencies of a man and a woman = 3 : 2

    Sum of ratios = 3 + 2 = 5

    Let the total work be 330x units.

    Then, combined efficiency of a man and a woman

    = 330x/66 = 5x units/day

    Therefore, efficiency of a man = (5x) ×  = 3x units/day

    And efficiency of a woman = (5x) ×  = 2x units/day

    Now, combined efficiency of 6 men and 2 women = (3x) × 6 + (2x) × 2

    = 18x + 4x = 22x units/day

    Time taken to complete the same work by 6 men and 2 women

    = 330x/22x = 15 days

    Hence, the correct answer is option A.

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.25

    A can do a certain work in 15 days. B is 25% more efficient than A. Both worked together for 4 days. C alone completed the remaining work in 8 days. A, B and C together will complete the same work in:
    Solutions
    A can do a work in 15 days.

    B is 25% more efficient than A.

    As we know,

    Also, Ratio of efficiency is opposite to ratio of time taken.

    According to question:

    5x = 15

    x = 3

    4x = 12

    Hence, B can do a work in 12 days.

    Let total work = LCM (15,12) = 60 unit

    Efficiency of A =

    Efficiency of B =

    Efficiency of A and B together = 4 + 5 = 9 unit/day

    Both work together for 4 days only.

    Work finished by them in 4 days =

    Remaining work = 60 unit – 36 unit = 24 unit

    C completed the remaining work in 8 days.

    Efficiency of C =

    Efficiency of A ,B and C together = 4 + 5 +3= 12 unit/day

    Number of days taken by A,B and C to complete the whole work =

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.25

    Two men and 7 women can complete a work in 28 days whereas 6 men and 16 women can do the same work in 11 days, In how many days can 7 men complete the same work?
    Solutions

    Let efficiency of one man =

    Efficiency of one woman =

    Two men and 7 women can complete a work in 28 days whereas 6 men and 16 women can do the same work in 11 days.

    According to question:

     …………..(1)

    Let 7 men can do the same work in x days.

    Using (1)

    Hence, 7 men can do the same work in 22 days.

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.25

    A and B together can complete a certain work in 20 days whereas B and C together can complete it in 24 days. If A is twice as good a workman as C, then in what time will B alone do 40% of the same work?
    Solutions

    Given:

    Efficiency of A = 2 × efficiency of C

    A = 2C

    Let the total work = LCM of 20 and 24 = 120 units

    Efficiency of A and B =  = 6 units/day

    A + B = 6 units/day

    By putting value of A

     2C + B = 6 units/day           ……eq1

    Efficiency of B and C =  = 5 units/day

    B + C = 5units/day          .....eq2

    By subtracting eq2 in eq1

     2C + B – B – C = 6 – 5

     C = 1 units/day

    By putting value of C is eq2

     B + 1 = 5

     B = 4 units/day

    Therefore, required time taken by B alone to complete 40% of work =  =  = 12 days

    Hence, option B is correct.

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25

    A can complete a work in 60 days. B is 25% more efficient than A. They work together for 15 days. C alone completes the remaining work in 14 days. B and C together will complete 5/8th part of the original work in:
    Solutions

    Let the total work = 240 units

    Efficiency of A =  = 4 units/hr

    Efficiency of B =  =  = 5 units/hr

    Work done by A and B in 15 days = 15 × (4 + 5) = 15 × 9 = 135 units

    Remaining work = 240 – 135 = 105 units

    Efficiency of C =  = 7.5 units/hr

    Therefore, required time to complete th part of the work =  =  = 12 days

    Hence, option D is correct.

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.25

    Fourteen persons can do a work in 18 days. After 5 days of work, 6 workers left the work and joined back on the last day of the work. In how many days the work got completed?
    Solutions

    Total work = 14 × 18 = 252 units

    Work done in 5 days = 14 × 5 = 70 units

    Work done on the last day = 14 × 1 = 14 units

    Remaining work = 252 – 70 – 14 = 168

    Required, time to complete remaining work =  =  = 21 days

    Therefore, total time to complete the work = 5 + 21 + 1 = 27 days

    Hence, option A is correct.

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.25

    A, B and C can individually complete a piece of work in 24 days, 15 days and 12 days, respectively. B and C started the work and worked for 3 days and left. The number of days required by A alone to complete the remaining work, is:
    Solutions

    Total days of work of:

    A = 24 days

    B = 15 days

    C = 12 days

    Total work = 120 units

    Efficiency of A = 120/24 = 5units

    Efficiency of B = 120/15 = 8 units

    Efficiency of C = 120/12 = 10 units

    Now given that:

    B and C started the work.

    So, in 3 days B completes 8× 3 = 24 units

    and C completes = 10 × 3 = 30 units

    Total work completed by B and C in three days. = 24 + 30 = 54 units

    Left work = 120 – 54 = 66 units

    A completes 5 units in 1 day

    66 units = 66/5 =

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25

    A can finish a work in 20 days and B can finish the same work in 25 days. They began together, but B left the work after 5 days. How many more days will A take to finish the remaining work?
    Solutions

    Let total work =LCM(20,25) = 100 units

    Efficiency of A = 5 unit per day

    Efficiency of B = 4 unit per day

    Work completed by B in 5 days = 20 units

    Remaining work = 100 units – 20units = 80 units

    Now this 80 units work is done by A.

    Number of days taken by A to finish 80 unit work = 80/5 = 16 days

    But for 5 days A and B worked together.

    Hence, Number of more days taken by A to finish the remaining work = 16-5 = 11 days.

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.25

    Sixteen men can finish a work in 8 days. Eight men and nine women working together can finish the same work in 10 days. In how many days will twenty women finish the same work?
    Solutions

    16M × 8 = (8M + 9W)10

    64M = 40M + 45W

    24 M = 45W

    M/W = 45/24 = 15/8

    Efficiency of Men = 15 unit

    Women = 8 unit

    Total work = 16 × 15 × 8

    Times taken by 20 women = (16×15×8)/(20×8)

    = 12 days.
