  1. 10 days
  2. 17 days
  3. 23 days
  4. 41 days
  5. 34 days

Answers:

1). Answer: b

Given,(1/x) + (1/(x+5)) +1/15 = 7/50

(1/x) + (1/(x+5)) = 7/50 – 1/15

(2x+5)/(x2+5x) = 11/150

11x2-245x-750 =0

Simplify the above equation, we get x = -30/11, 275/11=25, (Eliminate –ve value)

X= 25 days

2). Answer: C

Work done by M in 8 days = 1/40*8=1/5

Remaining work = 1-1/5 = 4/5

(M+N)’s 1 day work = 1/40 + 1/24

= (3+5)/120 =8/120

=1/15

Now 1/15 work is done by M & N in 1 day.

So 4/5 work will be done by X and Y is,

=15 * 4/5

=12 days

Hence total time taken = 12+8 = 20 days

3). Answer: C

Kathir takes thrice as much time as Karthi and twice as much as Krish,Kathir takes x days, Karthi takes x/3 days and Krish takes x/2 days

Together they work then finished in 3 days

(1/x) + (3/x) + (2/x) = 1/3

6/x = 1/3

x = 18

Karthi takes 18/3 = 6 days

So, Karthi takes 6 days to complete work.

4). Answer: D

Moni’s 1 day work = 1/18They can together complete in 9 days.

Jack’s 1 day work = 1/9 – 1/18 = 1/18

If Jack works only for half a day daily, then his 1 day work becomes (1/2)*(1/18) = 1/36

Therefore, 1 day work of both Moni and Jack,

= 1/18 + 1/36 = 3/36 = 1/12

Hence, the work will be completed in 12 days.

5). Answer: A

Rishwi can complete the work in (6*4) = 24 hrsDhiviksha can complete the work in (4*5) = 20 hrs

Rishwi’s 1 hr work = 1/24

Dhiviksha’s 1 hr work = 1/20

(Rishwi and Dhiviksha)’s 1 hr work = (1/24 + 1/20)

= (5+6)/120 = 11/120

So both Rishwi and Dhiviksha will finish the work in (120/11) hrs

Number of days of 4 hrs each = 120/11*1/4

=120/44

=30/11 days

6). Answer: d

The ratio of Efficiency of Karthi and Rajesh= 140:100 = 7:5Then work ratio of Karthi and Rajesh=5:7

Now given that, Karthi’s one day’s work= 1/20

Then Rajesh’s one day’s work= 1/28

Thus in two days, the work done by them= 1/20+1/28=12/140

Then work done by them in 22 days= (12*11)/140 = 132/140

Work done by them in 23 days = (132/140) + (1/20) = 139/140

Remaining work = 1- (139/140) = 1/140

Remaining work done by Rajesh in = (1/140)*28 = (1/5) days

Thus total days to complete the work= 23 + (1/5) = 23 (1/5) days

7). Answer:  D

Let the number of men is ”a”a*40 = (a+8)30

40a=30a+240

10a=240 => a=24

8). Answer: D

10 men =50 children5 men =25 children

20 women = 50 children

10 women = 25 children

50 children can complete it on 9 months

= 25+25+10 =60

= (50*9)/60 =7.5 months

9). Answer: B

Total work = 72Preethi = 24 minutes = 3 work/min

Shri = 36 minutes     = 2 work/min

Kavitha = 12 minutes = 6 work/min (<= (6/5)*(3+2))

Total work done in one minute = 11 works

= 72 /11 = 6 6/11 min

10). Answer: a

Solution:

Let x be the total number of days to complete the work.

x/48 + (x-6)/30 + 8/24=1

(5x+8x-48+80)/240=1

13x +32=240

x=16 days

Thus number of days A worked with B=(x-6) days = 10 days
