Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (D)

Time taken when they work together = $ \frac {1}{\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}}$

= 4 days

2) Answer (A)

Let there be x men initially. They were supposed to complete the work in 20 days.

When 12 men didn’t show up the work was done in 32 days

So, x- 12 men did the work in 32 days

But x-12 men were supposed to take 20x/ (x-12) days

So, 20 x/ (x-12) = 32

so,

x = 32

3) Answer (A)

Let there be x men in the group who can finish the work in 60 days.

X+ 8 men can finish the work in 50 days.

but x + 8 men take 60x/ (x+8) days

60x/ (x+8) = 50

So, x = 40

4) Answer (B)

2 boys = 1 man

So, 21 men can do work W is 60 days working 7.5 hours per day.

to do 2W, 42 men are needed.

To do the job in 50 days, 60 x 42 / 50 men are needed.

To do the job working 9 hours a day, 7.5/9 x 60 x42/50 men are needed

= 42 men

We only have 21 men so, we get 42 extra boys to get the work needed for the 21 extra men.

5) Answer (B)

Let the quantum of food be 1500 units.

Food lasts for 50 days for 150 men.

After 20 days, 2/5th of the food is over.

So, units of food left = 900

1500 units 50days 150 men

900units  ?days   100 men

? = 900/1500x50x 150/100 = 45 days

6) Answer (A)

Let the total units of work be 300.

Hari’s speed = 300/30 = 10 units/ day

Giri’s speed = 300/20 = 15 units/day

So, Hari’s share of the total amount = 1000* 10/25 = 400 Rs

7) Answer (D)

12 men can do a work in 10 days

How many men are needed to complete the work in 8 days

= 12 x 10 / 8 = 15

8) Answer (A)

Let there be m men originally to work in 60 days

If the men were m + 8, the work would be completed in 50 days.

(m+8)/m = 60/50

So, m = 40

9) Answer (B)

2 boys = 1 man

So, 21 men can do work W is 60 days working 7.5 hours per day.

to do 2W, 42 men are needed.

To do the job in 50 days, 60 x 42 / 50 men are needed.

To do the job working 9 hours a day, 7.5/9 x 60 x42/50 men are needed

= 42 men

We only have 21 men so, we get 42 extra boys to get the work needed for the 21 extra men.

10) Answer (B)

Let the required number of days be x.

A/c to question ,

$M_{1}T_{1}D_{1} = M_{2}T_{2}D_{2}$

$30 \times 5 \times 16 = 40 \times 6 \times x$

x = 10

So, the answer would be option b)10 days

11) Answer (B)

A/c to question ,

$\dfrac{1}{P} + \dfrac{1}{Q} + \dfrac{1}{R} = \dfrac{1}{6}$

$\dfrac{1}{10} + \dfrac{1}{24} + \dfrac{1}{R} = \dfrac{1}{6}$

$\dfrac{1}{R} = \dfrac{1}{6}-\dfrac{1}{10}-\dfrac{1}{24} = \dfrac{3}{120}$

$ \dfrac{1}{R} = \dfrac{1}{40}$

So, the answer would be option b)40 days

12) Answer (E)

A can do (1/15) part of job in 1 day.

and B can do (1/18) part of job in 1 day.

So,in 1 day they together can do

$(1/15)+(1/18)=(6+5)/90=11/90$

part of job.

So, they together can do full job in 90/11 days.

So,E is correct choice.

13) Answer (C)

P is twice efficient than Q.

It means that Q take 2 times of P’s time to complete the job.

So, P will take $\left(\frac{12}{2}\right)=6$ days to complete the job.

So, P can do 1/6 part of the job in 1 day and Q can do 1/12 part of the job in 1 day.

So,they together can do $\left(\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}\right)=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$ part of job in 1 day.

So, they together will take 4 days to complete the job.

C is correct choice.

14) Answer (A)

Manju does full job in 16 days.

In 1 day he will do $1/16$part of job.

Manju and Jenny together does full job in 12 days.

So,they together will do $1/12$ part of job in 1 day.

So, Alone Jenny will do $((1/12)-(1/16))$ or 1/48 part of job in 1 day.

So,Jenny will finish the job in 48 days.

A is correct choice.

15) Answer (C)

“S can finish 50% of a work in a day” means S can complete work in $\frac{1}{2}$a day

“T can do 25% of the work in a day” means T can complete work in $\frac{1}{4}$ a day

both S and T can Complete the work in =$\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ a day

So they can complete the whole work in = $\frac{4}{3}$ days
