- A & B can separately finish the work in 30 days and 50 days respectively. They worked together and A left the work, so B complete the remaining work in 10 days. Find after how many days A left the work?
A) 10days
B) 12days
C) 15days
D) 20days
E) 18days
View Answer
Option C
Solution:
A = 30………..5
B = 50……….3   (LCM = 150)
A+ B = 8
B’s work in 10days = 3*10 =30
Means they together did ……120
120/8= 15days
- A is 20% more efficient than B and 50% more efficient than C. if they together can do a work in 24 days then find in how many days B alone can do the work?
A) 60days
B) 72days
C) 90days
D) 180days
E) 100days
View Answer
Option B
Solution:
.          A ………B  |  A………C
Efficiency   6……….5   |  3………2
Days       5……….6  |  2………3
Days A : B : C
. Â Â Â Â 10 12 15
A = 10……….6
B = 12………..5 …. Â Â Â Â (LCM = 60)
C = 15………..4
A+B+ C = 15
60/15=4
4=24
1= 6
B=12= 12*6 = 72days
- A can make 10000 papers in an hour B can make 8000 papers in an hour. Find in how many days they both can make 5,90,000 papers, if A do work for 7 hours and B do work for 6 hours?
A) 4days
B) 3days
C) 5days
D) 6days
E) 7days
View Answer
Option C
Solution:
A’s 1hr work = 10,000
7hr work = 70,000
B’s 1hr work = 8000
6hr work = 48,000
Total work of A& B of 1day = 70,000+48,000= 1,18,000
So 590000/118000 = 5days
- 7 men and 5 women can do a work in 6 days. Also 6 men and 7 women can do same work in 6 days. Find in how many days will 2 men & 2 women can finish the work?
A) 19days
B) 15days
C) 10days
D) 14days
E) 22days
View Answer
Option A
Solution:
7M + 5W =6
42M+30W = 1……………….(1)
6M +7W =6
36M + 42W =1……………..(2)
FROM (1) & (2)
. 42M + 30W =1
-36M (-)+ 42W =(-)1
6M -12W =0
6M =12W
M =2W…….PUT IT IN EQUATION(1)
S0 .. 14W +5W= 6
19W =6
1W = 6*19
6W = 6*19/6 =19DAYS
- 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
- A tap can fill a tank in 16 hrs but due to a leak it takes 6 hrs more. If leakage withdraw 9ltr water in an hour than find the quantity of tank?
A) 520ltr
B) 528ltr
C) 536ltr
D) 544ltr
E) 576ltr
View Answer
Option B
Solution:
A = 16 ………….11         (LCM = 176)
A+B=22 …………8
So B = 11-8 = 3
176/3 * 9= 528ltr.
- A & B can do a work in 35 days and 45 days respectively. They worked for 10 days and after then they complete the work with the help of C in 15 days. If they all get Rs 770. Then find the share of C?
A) 330
B) 270
C) 190
D) 170
E) 250
View Answer
Option D
Solution:
A = 35…………..11      (LCM = 385)
B = 45……………9
A+B=20
20*10 =200
Remaining 385-200=185
This work is completed in 5days. So 185/5=37
A&B 5days work = 20*5=100
C’s 5days work =85
A………….B………………C
11*15 Â Â 9*15 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 85
165 Â Â Â Â 135 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 85
33 Â Â Â Â Â Â 27 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 17
C’s share = 17/77  * 770 = 170
- 1 man or 2 women or 3 children can do a work in 55 days. Find in how many days 1 man and 1 woman and 1 child can do the work?
A) 30days
B) 24days
C) 25days
D) 28days
E) 32days
View Answer
Option A
Solution:
1M = 55 Â 1
2W =55 Â Â 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â 55
2C =55 Â Â 1
We need 1day work of … 1M +1W+1C= 1+1/2+1/3 =11/6
So …….. 55/(11/6) = 55/11 * 6=30 DAYS
- A can a work in 50 days and B is 50% efficient than A. find in how many days A and B together can complete the work?
A) 30
B) 40
C) 50
D) 33(1/3)
E) 16(2/3)
View Answer
Option D
Solution:
B is 50% efficient than A
. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â A………..B
Efficiency    2……….. 1
Days       1…………2
1 == 50 Â . So 2 == 100
A= 50……….2 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (LCM = 100)
B =100………1
A+ B = 3
100/3 =33(1/3) days.
- A and B can do a work in 60days. B and C can do same work in 40 days and C and A can do same work in 50 days. Find in how many days will A,Band C work together will finish the work?
A) 32(16/37)
B) 42(14/37)
C) 33(7/37)
D) 43(9/37)
E) 39(7/37)
View Answer
Option A
Solution:
A+B = 60…………10
B+C = 40………….15…………….(LCM =.600)
C+A = 50………….12
2(A+B+C) Â Â Â Â Â Â 37
A+B+C = 37/2
= 600/37 * 2 = 32(16/37)
