Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (B)
$\text No. of men_1 \times \text No. of days _2 = \text No. of men_2 \times \text No. of days_2$
Let the number of men required to complete the work in 12 days be ‘x’
=> $84\times16 = 12\times x$
=> $x = 112$
Therefore, Number of extra men required $= 112-84 = 28$.
2) Answer (C)
LCM of 15 and 45 is 45. Total units of work=45
P can do 45/15 =3 units per day
Q can do 15/15=1 units per day
So starting with P we have 9+3+9+3+9+3+9=45
So total it takes 9*3=21 days
3) Answer (C)
Let the total work be 45 units (LCM of 9 and 15)
Efficiency of A = 45/9 = 5 units/day
Efficiency of B = 45/15 = 3 units/day
They work on alternate days starting with A.
Then, 8 units of work will be completed in 2 days.
⇒ 40 units of work will be completed in 10 days.
Remaining work = 5 units.
5 units of work will be completed by A in 1 day.
Hence, Total work will be completed in 11 days.
4) Answer (A)
Let the total work be 48 units (LCM of 24 and 16).
Efficiency of A = 48/24 = 2 units/day
Efficiency of B = 48/16 = 3 units/day
Then, 5 units of work will be completed in a day.
15 units of work will be completed in 3 days.
Now C joined with double the efficiency of B
⇒ Efficiency of C = 3*2 = 6 units/day
Remaining work = 33 units
33 units will be completed by A,B and C in 33/11 = 3 days.
5) Answer (C)
Given (5*3)MD+(2*3)WD=total work
(2*4)MD+(3*4)WD=total work
15MD+6WD=8MD+12WD
7MD=(6)WD
Total work in terms of women days is
8(6/7)WD+12WD=(48+84)/7 WD
Total work=132/7 WD
Therefore 12*x=132/7
x=11/7 days
6) Answer (A)
Let the total work be 60 units (LCM of 12 and 15)
Efficiency of A = 60/12 = 5 units/day
Efficiency of B = 60/15 = 4 units/day
Hence, in 1 day, 9 units of work will be completed.
⇒ In 4 days, 36 units of work will be completed.
Remaining work = 60-36 = 24 units.
24 units needs to be completed by B.
4 units will be completed by B in 1 day
24 units will be completed by B in 6 days.
Hence, Total work will be completed in 6+4 = 10 days.
7) Answer (A)
LCM of 50 and 100 is 100 and so total 100 units of work has to be done.
Each day P can do 2 units of work
Each day Q can do 1 unit of work
After 20 days 60 units of work is done so 40 units is left
Given in next 10 days work has been completed along with C.
So 10(1+2+x)=40
3+x=4
x=1
C does 1 unit of work each day and so it takes 100 days for him to complete the whole work.
8) Answer (C)
LCM of 10 and 20 is 20 and so total units of work has to be done.
Each day P can do 2 units of work
Each day Q can do 1 unit of work
After 2 days 6 units of work is done so 14 units is left
Given in next 2 days work has been completed along with C.
So 2(1+2+x)=14
3+x=7
x=4
C does 4 units of work each day and so it takes 5 days for him to complete the whole work.
9) Answer (A)
LCM of 6 and 5 is 30 and so 30 units is the total work.
On each day A does (30/6)=5 units of work
On each day B does (30/5)=6 units of work
So in first 2 days A completes 10 units of work.
So 20 units of work has to be done by both and each day they can do 11 units of work.
So in $1\frac{9}{11}$ days remaining work will be completed
Total time taken is 2+$1\frac{9}{11}$=42/11 days
10) Answer (A)
Let the total work be 42 units (LCM of 14 and 21)
Efficiency of A = 42/14 = 3 units/hour
Efficiency of B = 42/21 = 2 units/hour
A is assisted by B on every alternate hour
A can complete 3 units of work in first hour
A and B can complete 5 units of work in second hour.
Hence, 8 units of work will be completed in 2 hours.
Then, 40 units of work will be completed in 10 hours.
Remaining work = 2 units.
A can do 2 units of work in 2/3rd of an hour = $\dfrac{2}{3}\times60 = 40$ minutes
Therefore, Total work will be completed in 10 hours 40 minutes.
11) Answer (B)
Relative speed = 81-9 = 72 kmph = 72*(5/18) = 20 m/s
Time = distance/speed = 200/20 = 10 sec
So the answer is option B.
12) Answer (D)
Time = $\frac{distance}{speed} = \frac{1875}{500} = 3\frac{3}{4}hrs = 3hrs.45mins$
So the answer is option D.
13) Answer (C)
relative speed = 35+55 = 90 kmph = 90*(5/18) = 25 m/s
Time taken to cross each other = $\frac{300+600}{25} = 36 seconds$
So the answer is option C.
14) Answer (B)
The bus starts 2 hours after the car. Hence, the car would have covered 80 km in the mean time. Now relative speed of the car and the bus is 20 km/hr. Hence, bus will take 4 hours to reach the same point as the car. Hence, the distance travelled by the bus will be 60*4 = 240 km.
The biker will need 240/120 = 2 hours.
Thus, the biker must have started at 2 pm.
15) Answer (C)
Let ‘s’ be the speed of the boat and ‘w’ be the speed of the stream.
We have, s = 27 km/hr and $\frac{27}{s-w} = 1.5 $ hour
So s – w = 18 so w = 9 km/hr
We get, $\frac{90}{18+9} = 2.5$ hour
Hence, option C is the right choice.
16) Answer (A)
The difference between the time taken to travel one-fourth of the total distance at reduced speed and normal speed is 30 minutes.
Let us consider the distance for which the bike travels at the reduced speed to be ‘d’.
=> Total distance = 4d.
Let the normal speed of the bike be ‘s’. => Reduced speed = s/3.
Now, we know that,
d/(s/3) – d/s = 30
(3d-d)/s = 30
2d/s = 30
=>d/s = 15 minutes.
Time taken to travel the distance between Balu’s home and office = 4d/s = 4*15 = 1 hour.
Hence, option A is the right answer.
17) Answer (B)
Let us assume the length of the train to be ‘x’.
The total distance that the train has to travel to cross a platform of length ‘2x’ =sum of the lengths of train and platform.
Distance travelled = x+2x = 3x.
Speed of the train = 3x/12 = x/4.
The time the train will take to cross a stationary pole = x/(x/4) = 4 seconds.
Hence, option B is the right answer.
18) Answer (B)
The relative speed of the boat in upstream = 30 – 5 = 25 kmph
Distance = 50 kms
Time = 50 / 25 = 2 hours.
Relative speed in downstream = 30 + 5 = 35 kmph
Distance = 70 kms
Time = 70/35 = 2 hours.
Total time = 2 + 2 = 4 hours.
19) Answer (B)
In 1 hour the car can travel 80 km if stoppages are excluded.
In the same time, the care can travel only 50 km if stoppages are included.
=> 30 km less because of stoppages
Time taken to cover 30km = $\frac{30}{80}$ = 0.375 hours = 0.375 * 60 minutes = 22.5 minutes
20) Answer (A)
As discussed in the concept time taken =$\frac{2\pi r}{x-y}$
$2\pi r = 500$
Time taken =$\frac{500}{90-40} = 10$s
