Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (D)

Part of tank emptied in 1 hour by the
leak

$\frac{1}{2}$ – $\frac{2}{7}$ = $\frac{1}{14}$

The leak will empty the tank in 14 hours.

2) Answer (D)

Part filled by (A + B) in 1 hour = (1/5+1/20)=1/4

So, A and B together can fill the tank in 4 hours.

Time taken to fill the tank with the leak = 4 hours + 30 mins = 4.5 hours.

Hence, rate of work done with leak = 1/4.5 = 2/9

Therefore, Work done by the leak in 1 hour =1/4-2/9=1/36

Leak will empty the tank in 36 hrs

3) Answer (C)

Daily earning of B = Total earning of the 3 – Earning of A and B => 300 – 188 = 112
Now it has been given that the daily earning of B and C is 152. Hence the daily earning of C would be 152 – 112 = 40
Now Daily earning of A = 188 – 40 = 148
Thus, the daily earning of B and A is 148 + 112 = 260

4) Answer (A)

Let the number of binders required be x.
Less books, less binders (Direct Variation)
Less days, more binders (Indirect Variation)
Books      Days       Binders
25             25           25
10             10            x
⇒ x =10/25 * 25/10 * 25 = 25 binders

5) Answer (D)

Capacity of the tank= (12 × 13.5) litres = 162 litres.
Capacity of each bucket = 9 litres.
Number of buckets needed =(162/9)= 18.

6) Answer (D)

2/B+1/C+1/D=1/2 …………….(i)
2/A+1/C=1/3………………(ii) and
1/A+1/B+1/C=1/4 …………(iii)
Subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get2/A-2/B-1/D=1/6…(iv)
Subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (ii), we get 1/A-1/B=1/12 ⇒2/A-2/B=1/6…………..(v)
Subracting Eq. (v) from Eq. (iv), we get 1/D=1/3 ………………….(vi)
Adding Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get 1/A+1/B+1/C+1/D=1/4+1/3=7/12
Hence, A, B, C and D will take 12/7 days to do the required job.

7) Answer (E)

Amount of work involved for one tank = 4*10*1
Amount of work involved for 2 tanks = 4*10*2
So, time required = 4*10*2/6 = 13.33 hours

8) Answer (B)

The total amount of work required = 8*10*16
Work completed in 5 days = 8*10*5
Work left = 8*10*11
Number of days remaining = 11
Number of students = 4
So, number of hours to be put in per day = 8*10*11/11*4 = 20 hours
So, number of additional hours that each of the remaining students should put in to complete the work on time = 20 – 10 = 10 hours.

9) Answer (A)

If x is the work involved, Azhar’s rate of work is x/6 and Basha’s is x/3 and Carina’s is x/2. Together it is x/6 + x/3 + x/2 = x. Time taken is x divided by x = 1 minute.

10) Answer (D)

If the work involved in the project is x, the rate of all of them together is x/1. Rate of work of A is x/6 and that of C is x/2. So, rate of B alone is $\frac {x}{1} – (\frac{x}{6}+ \frac{x}{2})=\frac{x}{3}$. Time taken by B working alone is x divided by x/3 = 3 hours.
