      Option A
    Solution:

    .               B……A              B…….A
    .               2…….1               1………3
    Days                     A…..B…….C
    .                             1…….2……6
    Efficiency             6…….3…..1
    .                              3/10*6000 =1800
  2. A & B can do a piece of work in 80days. B & C can do same work in 50days and C & A can do same work in 60days. Find in how many days they all together can complete that work?
    A) 40 (40/59)
    B) 60 (40/59)
    C) 36 (40/59)
    D) 25 (40/59)
    E) 26 (40/59)
    View Answer
      Option A
    Solution:

     LCM = 2400
    A + B = 80………….2400/80 = 30
    B + C = 50…………………………..48
    C + A = 60…………………………..40
    2(A + B + C) = 118
    A+ B + C = 59
    So 2400/59  days           
  3. A & B separately can do a piece of work in 9days and 12days respectively. If they work for a day alternatively, A starts the work, in how many days will the work will get completed?
    A) 12(1/4)

    C) 8(1/6)
    D) 10(5/6)
    E) 9(1/6)
    View Answer
      Option B
    Solution:

                   A=9        4
                   B=12      3          [LCM=36]
                   2 days alternate            (4+3) = 7 days
                   2*5                                    7*5
                   10days                             35days
                   now A’s turn so-  10(1/4) days

    A) 4days
    B) 6days
    C) 8days
    D) 10days
    E) 5days
    View Answer
      Option C
    Solution:

                   4M + 6B= 1600/5=320……………(1)
                   3M + 7B= 1740/6=290……………(2)
                  FROM EQUATION (1) AND (2) WE GET
                  (4*7)B – (3*6)B = 290*4 – 320*3
    B = Rs20……put in (1)
    M = Rs50
    now required number of days
    3760/(7*50+6*20) = 3760/470 = 8days
  5. A tap take 42hrs extra to fill a tank due to a leakage equivalent to half of its inflow. The inlet pipe alone can fill the tank in how many hour?

      Option A
    Solution:

    .               Without leak……………………With leak
    Efficiency             2………………………….1
    Time                      1…………………………..2
    .                                          +1 == 42hours
    So 42hours
  6. A tank can be filled with two pipes in 30minutes and 45minutes. When the tank was empty the two pipes A and B were opened. After some time, the first pipe A was closed and the tank was filled in 24minutes. After how much time from the start was the first pipe A closed?
    A) 16 days
    B) 15 days
    C) 14 days
    D) 12 days
    E) 10 days
    View Answer
      Option C
    Solution:

    A = 30, B = 45
    LCM = 90
    So, A = 90/30 = 3
    . B = 90/45 = 2
    B worked for all 24 days means did 24*2 = 48 units work
    Remaining work = 90-48 = 42
    This work is done by A, so 42/3 = 14 days

    make time same
    6min………..13ltr
    *7…………….*7
      42min………91ltr
  8. A and B together can complete a work in 30days and B alone can do it in 60days. Find in how many days A alone can do the work?

    E) 110
    View Answer
      Option B

    A+B…30……2
    B……60……1……………(LCM=60)
    A  ……………1
    A = 60/1 = 60

    C) 36
    D) 48
    E) 50
    View Answer
      Option C
    Solution:

    . A+B = 18
    Let total work  =18
    1day work of A & B=1
    8days work of A&B =8
    remaining =18 -8 =10
    B does 10 work in 20days
    So     18 work in 36days
    A+B= 18
    B      =36
    LCM = 36
    A+B= 18……..36/18 =2
    B      =36………36/36 = 1
    So A= 1
    So days A   = 36/1   = 36
  10. A can write 75pages in 25hrs. A and B together can write 135pages in 27hrs.  In what time can B write 42pages?

    C) 23
    D) 21
    E) 20
    View Answer
      Option D
    Solution:

                  A can write 75/25 =3pages in 1hr
    A+B can  135/27 = 5pages in 1hr
    B can write 5-3 = 2page in 1hr
    42/2 =21hrs
