    A) 13 days
    B) 15 days
    C) 18 days
    D) 12 days
    E) 116 days

    View Answer
      Option  C
    Solution:
    .                   A:B
    Efficiency=3:1
    Time=1:3
    Multiplying by 24 on both the sides ,
    A’s=24 days
    B’s=72 days
    Therefore,2 units =48 days
    1 units =24 days
    Total work=No. of days *Efficiency
    .                                       72*1
    .                                        =72
    One day work of A and B is 3+1=4 units
    A and B will complete the work in =72/4=18days.

    Solution:
    A+B+C          A           B            Cx hr.            x+6       x+1       2xTaking LCM = 2x (x+1)(x+6)
    Taking efficiency of A and B ;
    2x(x+1)(x+6)/(2x2 +2x+2x+12x)        = 2x/1
    3x+7x-6=0
    X=-3(ignore)
    X=2/3
    A will finish its work in (x+6)=20/3 days
  • A work is started by a man on the first day. Each subsequent day a new person joined the work and it is known that the total work will completed on the 11th day. If from the starting day 6 men working on that work and no new men added later, in how many days the work got completed?
    A) 15 days
    B) 12 days
    C) 14  days
    D) 11 days
    E)  None of these.

    View Answer
      Option D
    Solution:
    1day work of a man is 1 unit. If a new person joined the work on second day, 2 units of work get completed. Similarly 3 units on 3rd day, 4 units on 4th day so on…
    Then for all the eleven days the total work = 1 + 2 + 3+ ………….11 = 66 units (Use formula
    N(N+1)/2)
    Now 6 men /day work = 6 units/day.
    They can complete 66 units of work in =
    66/6
    =11 days

    C) 5 days
    D) 2 days
    E) None of these.

    View Answer
      Option B
    Solution:
    2M *3 = 3W*4 = 4C*6
    .      1M =  2W =   4C
    LCM=4
    1 Man’s efficiency= 4units/day
    2 Women’s efficiency=2units/day
    4 Children’s efficiency= 1 units/day
    Total work =(2*4)*3=24 days
    (1man+1woman+2children)=4+2+2=8
    (1man+1woman+2children) complete the work =24/8=3 days

    now, 5A + 7B + 13C = 48
    split it
    5A +5B + 2B + 2C + 11C = 48
    so 5*4 + 2*3 + 11c = 48
    so 11c = 22 …… c = 2
    so c alone = 48/2 = 24
    A — 48/3 = 16
    B— 48/1 =48

    B) 15 days
    C) 12 days
    D) 14 days
    E) None of these.

    View Answer
      Option D
    Solution:
    100 men completed 5/12 work in 35 days
    So 100 men can complete the remaining 7/12 work in 49 days:
    Use M1*D1*W2 = M2*D2*W1
    100*35*(7/12) = 100*D2* (5/12)
    D2 = 49 days
    But after 35 days, 40 more men were employed, so 140 men now and they completed 7/12 work in
    By M1*D1*W2 = M2*D2*W1
    100*35*(7/12) = 140*D2*(5/12)
    D2 = 35 days
    So extra days = 49-35 = 14 days
  • Two typist of varying skills can do a job in 6 minutes if they work together. If the first typist typed alone for 4 minutes and then second typed for 6 minutes , they would be left with  1/5 of the whole work. How many minutes would it take the slower typist to complete the work alone ?
    A) 10 min
    B) 12 min
    C) 15 min
    D) 20 min
    E) None of these.

    View Answer
      Option C
    Solution:
    The first typist types for 4 minutes and second one for 6 minutes , the work left would be the work the first typist can do in 2 minutes. Thus the time taken by the first typist to do the work would be 10 minutes and his rate of work would be 10% per minute . Since both can do whole work in 6 minutes their combined efficiency = 100/6 = 16.66% > second typist = 6.66%
    so he would take = 100/6.66 = 15 minutes.
  • Tap A  can fill a tank with water in 10 hrs. Tap B fills the same tank with milk in 12.5 hrs. A man who wanted to fill the tank with the mixture opens tap A first , which already contains 8% milk of its own capacity. After two hours he opened tap B till the tank gets filled completely. In what proportion should he mix this solution with the other one containing water and milk in the ratio 2 : 3, so that the new solution will contain half milk and half water?
    A) 2:3
    B) 1:1
    C) 1:2
    D) 2:1
    E) 1:3

    View Answer
      Option B
    Solution:
    Total work  – 50
    a== 5
    b== 4
    it already contain 8% milk = 4 lit
    a—- in 2 hrs = 5*2 = 10 lit water
    so, total fill = 14 lit. remain. = 36 lit
    done by a+b in 36/9 = 4 hrs
    so,water added by a — 4*5 = 20 litre
    milk added by b —- 4*4 = 16 litre
    so. Total water ==== 10 + 20 = 30 litre
    Total milk ===== 4 + 16 === 20 litre
    W:M = 3:2
    now 3/5______________2/5
    ____________1/2_______1:1

    A) 8 days
    B) 10 days
    C) 12 days
    D) 7 days
    E) None of these.

    View Answer
    Option A
    Solution:
    Total work  = 60
    A — 4 ,, B– 3 ,,,, C — 2
    let A &B work for x days
    Then work done by A = 4x
    B = 3x
    C =60- (4x+3x)
    So ratio of their share
    4x : 3x : 60-7x
    Difference between b and c = 3x – (60-7x) = 10x – 60
    ( 10x – 60)/60 * 18000 = 6000
    so,x =8

  • A & B can do a work in 18 days. They started work together and A left after 7 days and B did the remaining work in 33 days. Find in how many days A can alone do the work?
    A) 18
    B) 54
    C) 27
    D) 36
    E) 32

    View Answer
    Option C
    Solution: 

    let total work = 18
    Efficiency of A &B’s work of 1day =1
    In 7days they complete =7 work
    Remaining = 18-7 = 11
    B do 11 work = 33 days
    1 work = 3days
    18work = 54days
    So ……. A+B = 18…….3                (LCM = 54)
    .                 B = 54……..1
    So A = 3-1 = 2
    A = 54/2 =27days
