    Total work = 100 units
    A = 4  units/ work
    A do for 10 days of work = 40
    remaining = 60
    A+ B = 9
    remaining work completed in= 60/9  = 6(2/3)
    B = 5 units/work
    Total days in completing the work = 10 + 6(2/3) = 16(2/3) days

      Option  D
    Solution:
    A’s 1 day’s of work = 3/12 = ¼
    Remaining work = 1 – (1/4) = ¾ days
    (A+B)———( ¾)—— 3 days
    (A+B)———1———- 4 days
    (A+B) takes  = 4 days to complete the work
    A takes = 12 days to complete the work
    total work = 12 units
    B can complete the work in = 12/ 2 =  6 days

    D) 16/3 days
    E) 11/2 days
    View Answer
      Option B
    Solution:
    Let the number fo women left the work be x
    6 women done the work in 3 days = 3/6 = ½
    remaining work = 1 – ½ = ½
    Now,
    M1 D1/W1 = M2D2/W2
    => (6 * 15 )/1 = {(6-x)*20}/(1/2)
    => x = 15/4 days
  7. A is thrice as good as B and it takes 30 days less than B for doing a job. How much time required to finish the work together.

    D) 20(1/4) days
    E) 22(1/3) days

      Option  C
    Solution:
    A : B = 3 : 1 ( efficiency )
    (A + B)’s day’s work = (1/15)  + (1/45) = 4/45
    Total time taken by both of them = 45/4 =11(1/4) days

    C) 667
    D) 650
    E) 682
    View Answer
      Option  C
    Solution:
    Let the ratio be 3x : 2x : 1x
    Designs of building on the first day = 10 * 3x + 6 * 2x + 9 * x = 51x
    On the second day = 10 * 3x + 4 * 2x + 6 *x = 44x
    On the third day = 7 *3x + 6 * 2x + 4 * x = 37x
    Now, 51x + 44x + 37x = 2000
    => 132x = 2000
    Therefore, 2000/132*44 = 666.66  = 667 (approx.)

    E) 88(1/2) days
    View Answer
      Option  D
    Solution:
    9* 200 children = 18 * 150 men = 12 * 180 women
    =>1800 children = 2700 men = 2160 women
    => 10 children = 15 men = 12 women
    Now, 10 children + 3 men + 12 women
    = 10 children + 2 children + 10 children = 22 children
    => 22 children can complete the work in = (200*9)/22 = 81(9/11) days
