Answers :

1) Answer: C

A = 1/15

Time ratio of A and B = 1:4

B alone complete the work = 4 * 15 = 60 days

C alone complete the work = 1/8 – 1/15 – 1/60

= 15 – 8 – 2/120 = 1/24

Ratio of work done by A, B and C = 1/15:1/60:1/24

= 8:2:5

C’s wages = 5/15 * 5400 = Rs.1800


2) Answer: B

A + B + C together can complete the work = 13/144

C alone complete the work = 1/48

A + B complete the work = 13/144 – 1/48

= 13 – 3/144

= 5/72

Efficiency of A and B = 150:100 = 3:2

Time ratio of A and B = 2:3

1/2x + 1/3x = 5/72

5/6x = 5/72

x = 12

A alone complete the work = 12 * 2 = 24 days

A + C together can complete the work = 1/24 + 1/48

= 1/16


3) Answer: A

A = 1/30

Efficiency of A and B = 400:100 = 4:1

Time ratio of A and B = 1:4

B alone complete the work = 4 * 30 = 120 days

C alone complete the work = 1/16 – 1/30 – 1/120 =(30 – 16 – 4)/480

= 1/48

Ratio of work done by A, B and C = 1/30:1/120:1/48

= 16:4:10

= 8:2:5

C’s wage = 5/15 * 27000 = Rs.9000


4) Answer: A

A + B = x – 4 days

A = x days

Time ratio of A and B = 1:2

B alone complete the work = 2 * x = 2x

1/x + 1/2x = 1/x- 4

3/2x = 1/x – 4

2x = 3x – 12

x = 12


5) Answer: E

A + B = 1/13

A = 1/39

B = 1/13 – 1/39 = 2/39

6/39 + ((6 + x)2)/39 = 1

(12 + 2x)/39 = 11/13

21 = 2x

x = 10.5 days


6) Answer: A

(4m + 6w) * 5 = 4 * (6m + 4w)

20m + 30w = 24m + 16w

4m = 14w

20women complete the work in 5 days

One woman complete the work = 100 days

One man complete the work in 14/(100 * 4) = 200/7 days

Required time = 28/200 + 2/100 = 32/200 = 4/25

Required time = 6.25 days


7) Answer: B

M1D1 = M2D2

30 x 35 =  25x + (x+35) x 10

x = 20


8) Answer: A

A + B + C together can complete the whole work = 4/3 * 6 = 8 days

A + C together can complete the whole work = 5/2 * 24/5 = 12 days

B alone complete the work = 1/8 – 1/12 = 1/24

B + C together can complete the whole work = 100/55 * 6 = 120/11

C alone complete the work = 11/120 – 1/24 = 6/120

Required time = 20 days


9) Answer: C

A alone complete the work = 16 days

Efficiency of A and B = 75:100

Time ratio of A and B = 4:3

B alone complete the work = ¾ * 16 = 12 days

C alone complete the work = 1/6 – 1/12 – 1/16 = (8 – 4 – 3)/48

= 1/48


10) Answer: A

A, B and C together can complete the work in 4 days = 4/16 = ¼

Remaining work = 1 – ¼ = ¾

C and B together can complete the whole work = 4/3 * 24 = 32 days

A alone complete the work = 1/16 – 1/32 = 1/32

Answers :

11) Answer: C

A + B + C = 1/10

C = 1/20

A + B = 1/10 – 1/20 = 1/20

1/2x + 1/x = 1/20

(1 + 2)/2x = 1/20

1/x = 1/30


12) Answer: C

Ratio of time taken by Jeni and Tanu = 120: 100 = 6: 5

Let Tanu takes x days to do the work.

=> 6: 5::30: x

=> x = 5 * 30/6 = 25 days


13) Answer: D

5 * (20 m + 13 w) = 6 * (15 m + 20 w)

100 m + 65 w = 90 m + 120 w

10 m = 55 w

2 m = 11 w

20 m + 13 w = 110 w + 13 w = 123 w

6 m + 8 w = 33 w + 8 w = 41 w

Women               days

123                      5

41                        ?

Then

Required number of days = (123 * 5) / 41 = 15 days


14) Answer: E

A + B + C = 1/16

C = 1/20

A + B = 1/16 – 1/20 = (5 – 4)/80 = 1/80

10/80 + (x + 10)/20 = 1

10 + 4x + 40 = 80

4x = 30

x = 7(1/2) = 7.5 Days


15) Answer: C

P and Q together can complete a work in = 6 2/3 days = 20/3 days

(P + Q)’s one day work = 3/20

P alone can complete the work in = 12 days

P’s one day work = 1/12

Q’s one day work = 3/20 – 1/12 = (36 – 20) / (20 * 12) = 1/15

Q can complete the work in 15 days

Total units = 60 (LCM of 12, 15)

A’s one day work = 5 units

B’s one day work = 4 units

Work done in 2 days = 5 + 4 = 9 units

Work done in 12 days = 9 * 6 = 54 units

Work will be completed in = 12 + 1 + ¼ = 13 ¼ days


16) Answer: B

(Basker’s 1 day’s work): (Sekar’s 1 day’s work) = 5/3: 1 = 5: 3

Let Basker’s and Sekar’s 1 day’s work be 5x and 3x.

Then, 5x + 3x = 1/9

=> x = 1/72

Hence, Basker’s 1 day’s work = 1/72 * 5 = 5/72

=>He will take 14 2/5 days to complete the whole work.


17) Answer: A

A = 100/80 * 16 = 20 days

B = 100/75 * 18 = 24 days

A + B = 1/20 + 1/24

= 44/20 * 24

Required time = 120/11 = 10(10/11) days


18) Answer: D

w = 3m

Total work = (6m + 15w) = 1/30

6m + 45m = 1/30

51m = 1/30

51m * 30 = 17m * ?

? = 90 days


19) Answer: C

(A + B)’s one day work = (1/16)

(B + C)’s one day work = (1/24)

(C + A)’s one day work = (1/32)

2*(A + B + C)’s one day work = (1/16) + (1/24) + (1/32) = 13/96

(A + B + C)’s one day work = 13/(96 * 2) = 13/192

C’s one day work = (A + B + C) – (A + B)

= > (13/192) – (1/16)

= > (13 – 12)/192

= > 1/192

‘C’ can complete a whole work in = 192 days


20) Answer: C

A + B = 96/7

B = 2/1 * 16 = 32 days

A = 7/96 – 1/32 = 1/24

6/24 + x/32 = 1

x/32 = 1 – 1/4

x/32 = 3/4

x = 24 days
