Answers:

  1. Answer: b

A = x days   B = x+10 days

A+B = 1/x+1/(x+10) = 1/(9 3/8)

1/x+ 1/(x+10) = 8/75

(x+x+10)/(x2+10x) = 8/75

(2x+10)*75 = 8(x2+10x)

75x+375 = 4x2+40x

4x2-35x-375 =0

Simplify the above equation, we get x= 60/4 , -25/4 = 15 , -25/4 (Eliminate the –ve value)

X= 15 days

A = 15 and B = 25 days

Efficiency ratio of A and B = 1/15: 1/25 = 5:3

  1. Answer: c

Let us take B and C together x days and A takes x-2

Given,

1/x + 1/(x-2) = 11/60

(x+x-2)/(x2-2x) = 11/60

(2x-2)/(x2-2x) = 11/60

11x2-142x+120 =0

Simplify the above equation, we get x= 132/11, 10/11

= 12, 10/11(Eliminate 10/11)

A takes to complete the work in (12-2) = 10 days

  1. Answer: d

Given,

(25*8)/(4/5) = (25+x)*2/(1/5)

50 = 50+x

X=0

Therefore no extra boys required to complete the work

 

Direction (4-5):

A alone complete a work = 1/24 – 1/60 = (5-2)/120 = 3/120 = 1/40

B alone completes the work = 1/20 – 1/60 = 4/120 = 1/30

LCM of 40, 30 and 60 = 120

Total work = 120 units

A = 3 units per day

B = 4 units per day

C = 2 units per day

A’s 10 days work = 10* 3 = 30 units

B’s 10 days work = 10*4= 40 units

Remaining = 120 –(30+40) = 50 units

Remaining units completed by C alone = 50/2 = 25 days = x

  1. Answer: c

From the above statement we get x= 25 days

Mani’s one day work = 1/(25-5) = 1/20

Kalai’s one day work = 1/(25-10) = 1/15

Shiva’s one day work = 1/(25+5) = 1/30

LCM of 20, 15 and 30 = 60

Total work = 60 units

Mani’s per day output = 3 units

Kalai’s per day output = 4 units

Shiva’s per day output = 2 units

Kalai is most efficient so she is working in first day and Mani is second most efficient so he is working in second day and Shiva is least efficient so he is working in third day.

1 cycle (3 days) = (4+3+2) = 9 units

6th cycle (18 days) = 9*6 = 54 units

Remaining work = 60-54= 6 units

19th day Kalai completes 4 units

20th days Mani completes (6-4=2)/3

Total no of days = 19+2/3 = 19 2/3 days

  1. Answer: a

From the above statement we get x= 25 days

Shivani’s per day work = 1/(25+5) = 1/30

Vijay’s per day work = 1/(25+25) = 1/50

LCM of 30 and 50 = 150

Total work = 150 units

Shivani’s per day work = 5 units

Vijay’s per day work = 3 units

1 cycle (2 days) = 3 + 5 = 8 units

18th cycle (36 days) = 8*18 = 144 units

Remaining = 150 – 144 = 6 units

37th day = 3 units completed

38th day = 3/5 units completed

Required no of days = 37+ 3/5 = 37 3/5 days

  1. Answer: a

Let us take A, B and C together can complete a piece of work in x days

A = x+5

Given,

1/(x+5) + 1/15 +1/30 = 1/x

1/(x+5) – 1/x = -1/15-1/30

-5/(x2+5x) = -1/10

50 = x2+5x

=>x2+5x-50 =0

Simplify the above equation we get x= 5, -10 (Eliminate –ve value)

No of days taken by A to complete the work in 10 days

  1. Answer: b

LCM of 24, 12 and 36 = 72

A = 3 units

B = 6 units

C = 2 units

B+C = 8 units

A+C = 5 units

A+B = 9 units

1 cycle (3 days) = 8+5+9 = 22 units

3rd cycle (9 days) = 22*3 = 66 units

Remaining = 72-66 = 6 units

Remaining completed by B and C = 6/8 = ¾

Required no of days = 9 ¾ days

  1. Answer: d

P+Q+R together completes in = (P+Q) + R = 5/48 + 1/16 = 8/48 = 1/6

P, Q and R together work in 6 days

Q and R alone takes x days and P takes 3x

Given,

1/x+1/3x= 1/6

4/3x = 1/6 => x= 8 days

No of days taken by P alone to complete the work in 24 days

  1. Answer: c

Total share of A, B and C = 3600

Share of C = 3600 – 2800 = 800

Share of B = 3600 – 800- 1600 = 1200

Efficiency ratio of A, B and C = 1600: 1200: 800 = 16:12:8 = 4:3:2

  1. Answer: b

LCM of P, Q and R = 24, 36 and 18 = 72 units

P = 3 units

Q = 2 units

R = 4 units

Let us take total no of days x

Given,

3x + 2(x-2) + 4(x-4) = 72

3x+2x-4+4x-16 =72

9x = 72+20= 92

X= 92/9 = 10 2/9 days

P, Q and R works together = x – 4 = 10 2/9 – 4 = 6 2/9 days
