WORKS FOR 4 DAYS LET THE WORK. HOW MUCH TIME WILL A NEED TO COMPLETE
REMAINING WORK..
SOL.. A DAILY ABILITY- 1 / 24
B DAILY ABILITY- 1/ 12
B KA 4 DAYS KA WORK....WORK - DAILY ABILITY X TIME (RULE3,TOLD U)
= 1/ 12 X 4 = 1/3..
IT MEANS 1/3 WORK HAS FINISHED//// NOW HOW MUCH WORK IS LEFT=
WORK= 1 ( I TOLD U). REMAINING WORK = 1 - 1 / 3 = 2 / 3.
TIME = WORK / DAILY ABILTY
A KITNA TIME LEGA= ( 2 / 3) / 1/ 24 = 16 DAYS..

1. A, B and C can do apiece of work in 11 days, 20 days and 55 days respectively,
working alone. How soon can the work be done if A is assisted by B and C on
alternate days? . [Assistant Grade]
a. 1 days b.9 days
c.8 days d.10 days
1. see. ab 1st day ......ac 2nd day..
most imp..:ab ye dekho 2 din k ander ye teeno kaam kar rahe hai.. but a usme 2 baar
kaam kar raha hai..isley uski abilty ko twice kar dengae...(q.9 ko bhi dekho,samjhne k
liye)
1 / 11 x 2 = 2/11 ( a ki 2 din ki ability)
2 din me ability( 2 din me jo kaam hua) = 2/11 + 1/20 + 1/55
= 1/4
1 day ki ability = 1 / 4x2 = 1 / 8
time = work / daily abilty = 1 / 8 = 8 day...
2. If Ramesh, Suresh and Harish can do a piece of work in 15 days, 10 days and 6
days respectiVelY how long will they take to do it, if all the three work at it together ?
(Central Excise & I. Tax 1990)
a.3 days b. 3 * (9/20) days
c.3 and half days d. 3 * (3/20) days
ITS SIMPLE NO NEED TO EXPLAIN..IF WANT COMMENT..
3. A can do a certain job in 12 days. B is 60% more efficient than A. The number of
days, it takes B to do the same piece of work, is. [C.B.I. 1990]
a. 6 b.7 * (1/2)
c.6 * (1/4) d. 8
Ratio of times taken by A and B = 160:100 = 8:5
8 : 5 :: 12 : x or 8x = 5*12 or x = 7 and half days.
4. Twelve men can complete a work in 8 days. Three days after they started the work,
3 more men joined. In how many days will all of them together complete the
remaining work? (L.I.C. 1990)
a.2 b.5
c.4 d.6
sol. 12 x 8 = 96,
12 x 3 = 36
kitna bacha = 96 - 36 = 60

kitne add hue men.. now 15 60 ko kitne din chaleyengae= 60 / 15 = 4.

or 12 x ( 8 - 3) / 12 + 3 = 4
5. A can do a certain job in 25 days which B alone can do in 20 days. A started the
work and was joined by B after 10 days. The number of days taken in completing the
wotk was
a.12 and half days b.15 days
c.14 and 2/9 days d.16 and 2/3 days
sol,,, 1/25 x 10 = 2/5
1 - 2/5 = 3 / 5
a + b = 1/ 25 + 1 / 20 = 9 /100
time - 3/5 / 9/100 = 20 / 3
total time - 20/3 + 10= you will get
6. A job is completed by 10 men in 20 days and by 20 women in 15 days. How many
days will it take for 5 men and 10 women to finish that work? (Bank P.O. 1992)
a.17 and (1/2) b.17
c.17 and (1/7) d.17 and (1/120)
6.Explanation: Let 1 mans 1 days work = x and 1 womens a days work = y
then 10x = 1/20 and 20y = 1/15 so x = 1/200 and y = 1/300
(5 men + 10 women)s 1 days work = (5/200) + 10/300 = 7/120.
So, they will finish the work in 120/7 = 17 and 1/7 days.
7. A and B can dO a Piece of work in 5 days ;B and c can do it in 7 day; A and C can
do it in 4 days. Who among these will take the least time if put to do it alone? . [Hotel
Managemen]
a.A b.C
c.B d.Data inadequate
Explanation: (A+B)s 1 days work = 1/4
and (A+C)s 1 days work = 1/4
2(A+B+C)s 1 days work = (1/5 + 1/7 + 1/4) = 83/140
(A+B+C)s 1 days work = 83/280
Cs 1 days work = (83/280 - 1/5) = 27/280
As 1 days work = (83/280 - 1/7) = 43/280
Bs 1 days work = (83/280 - 1/4) = 13/280
Thus time taken by A, B, C is 280/43 days, 280/13 days, 280/27 days respectively.
Clearly, the time taken by A is least.
8. A can do a piece of work in 7 days of 9 hours each and B can do it in 6 days of 7
hours each. How long will they take to do it, working together 8*(2/5) hours a day?
a.3 days b.5 days
c.4 days d.None of these
Explanation: A can complete the work in (7 * 9) hrs = 63 hrs.
B can complete the work in (6 * 7) hrs = 42 hrs.
As 1 hours work = 1/63 and Bs 1 hours work = 1/42
(A+B)s 1 hours work = [(1/63) + (1/42)] = 5/126

Both will finish the work in (126/5) hrs

Number of days of8*(2/5) hrs each = (126/5) * (5/42) = 3 days
9. 12 men can complete a work in 18 days. Six days after they started working, 4
men joined them. How many days will all of them take to finish the remaining work?
(Central Excise & I. Tax 1993)
a.9 b.12
c.10 d.15
Explanation: (12 * 18) men can complete the work in 1 day.
1 mans 1 days work = 1/216
12 mens 6 days work = (1/18)*6 = 1/3
remaining work = 1 - (1/3) = 2/3
16 mens 1 days work = 16/216 = 2/27
2/27 work is done by them in 1 day.
2/3 work is done by them in (27/2)*(2/3) = 9 days.
10. A can do of the work in 5 days and B can do of the work in 10 days. In how many
days both A and B together can do the work?. [Railways 1991]
a.7 and (3/4) days b.9 and (3/8)
c. 8 and (4/5) d.10
Explanation: Whole work will be done by A in (5 x 3) = 15 days.
Whole work will be done by B m (10 * (5/2)) = 25 days.
As 1 days work = 1/15 and Bs 1 days work = 1/25
(A+B)s 1 daYs work=((1/15) + (1/25) ) = 8/75
So, both together can finish it in 75/8 = 9 and 3/8 days days
11. A can do a piece of work in 30 days while B alone can do it in 40 days. In how
many days can A and B working together do it?. [Railways 1990]
a.17.14 b.42.75
c.27.14 d.70
Explanation: As l days work = 1/30 and Bs l days work= 1/40
(A + B)s 1 days work = (1/30 + 1/40) = 7/120
Both together will finish the work in 120/7 = 17.14 days.
12. A does half as much work as B and C does half as much work as A and B together.
If C alone can finish the work in 40 days, then together all will finish the work in:
(Central Excise & I. Tax 1990)
a.13 and 1/3 days b.20 days
c.15 days d.30 days
Explanation: C alone can finish the work in 40 days.
(A + B)can do it in 20 days
(A + B)s 1 days wok = 1/20.
As 1 days work : Bs 1 days Work = 1/2 : 1 = 1:2.
As 1 days work = (1/20) * (1/3) = (1/60). [Divide 1/20 in the raio 1:2] Bs 1 days work
= (1/20) * (2/3) = 1/30
(A+B+c)S 1 days work = (1/60) + (1/30) + (1/40) = 9/120 = 3/40
All the three together will finish it in 40/3 = 13 and 1/3 days.
13. A can do a piece of work in 80 days. He works at it for 10 days and then B alone
finishes the remaining work in 42 days. The two together could complete the work
in : . [U.D.C. 1991]

a. 24 days b.30 days

c.25 days d.35 days
Explanation: Work done by A in 10 days = (1/80) * 10 = 1/8
Remaining work=(1 (1/8)) = 7/8
Now, 7/8 work is done by B in 42 days
Whole work will be done by B in 42 * (8/7) = 48 days.
As 1 days work = 1/80 and Bs 1 days work = 1/48
(A + B)s 1 days work = [(1/80) + (1/48)] = 8/240 = 1/30
so, both will finish the work in 30 days.
14. A is twice as good a workman as B and together they complete a work in 15
days. In how many days can the work be completed by B alone. . [Assistant Grade]
a.22 * (1/2) b.37 * (1/2)
c. 30 d. 45
Explanation: (As 1 days work):(Bs 1 days work) = 2: 1.
(A+B)s 1 days work= 1/15.
Divide 1/15 in the ratio 2 : 1
Bs 1 days work = (1/15) * (1/3) = 1/45
B alone can finish the work in 45 days.
15. A and B together can complete a piece of work in 35 days while A alone can
complete the same work in 60 days. B alone will be able to complete the same work
in: . [Assistant Grade]
a.42 days b.84 days
c.72 days d.96 days
15. Explanation: (A+B)s 1 days work = 1/35 and As 1 days work = 1/60
Bs 1 days work =(1/35 - 1/60) = 5/420 = 1/84 = 84
16. A and B can do a piece of work in 45 days and 40 days respectively. They began
to do the work together but A leaves after some days and then B completed the
remaining work in 23 days. The number of days after which A left the work was : .
[Central Excise ]
a. 6 b.9
c. 8 d. 12
Explanation: (A+B)s 1 days work = (1/45) + (1/40) = 17/360.
Work done by B in 23 days =(1/40) * 23 =.23/40
remaining work = (1 23/40) = 17/40 .
Now, work was done by (A + in 1 day
17 /40 work was done by (A + in (1 * (360/17) * (17/40))= 9 days.
A left after 9 dys.
17. 45 men can complete a work in 16 days. Six days after they started working, 30
more men joined them. How many days will they now take to complete the remaining
work?. [Bank P.O. 1994]
a. 4 b. 6
c.5 d. 8
Explanation: (45 * 16) men can complete the work in 1 day.
1 mans 1 days work = 1/720
45 mens 6 days work; = (1/16) * 6 = 3 / 8
Remaining work = (1 - (3/8)) = 5/8

75 mens 1 days work = 75/720 = 5/48

Now 5/48 work is done by them in 1 day.
5/8 work is done by them in (48/5) * (5x8) = 6 day
18. A does half as much work as B in three-fourth of the time. If together they take 18
days to complete the work, how much time shall B take to do it (L.I.C. 1988)
a.30 days b.40 days
c.35 days d.none df these
Explanation: Suppose B takes x dys to do the work.
A takes (2*(3/4)*x) = 3x/2 days to do it.
(A+B)s 1 days work= 1/18
1/x + 2/3x = 1/18 or x = 30.
19. 4 men and 6 women finish a job in 8 days, while 3 men and 7 women finish it in
10 days. In how many days will 10 women working together finish it?
a.24 b.36
c.32 d.40
Explanation: Let 1 mans 1 days work = x and 1 womans 1 days work = y.
Then, 4x + 6y = 1/8 and 3x+7y = 1/10
solving, we get y = 1/400
10 womens 1 day work = 10/400 = 1/40
10 women will finish the work in 40 days.
20. A piece of work can be done by 6 men and 5 women in 6 days or 3 men and 4
women in 10 days. It can be done by 9 men and 15 women in : . [Assistant Grade]
a. 1 day b.3 days
c.2 days d. 4 days
Explanation: Let 1 mans 1 days work =x and 1 womans 1 days work = y. Then,
6x+5y = 1/6 , 3x+4y = 1/10
On solving, we get x = 1/54 and y = 1/90
(9 men + 15 women)s 1 days work = (9/54) + (15/90) = 1/3
They will finish the work in 3 days.

TIME AND WORK(PAGE 5)

1. .A can do a certain job in 12 days. B is 60% more efficient than A. The number of
days, it takes B to do the same piece of work, is. [C.B.I. 1990]
a.6 b. 7 * (1/2)
c. 6 * (1/4) d. 8
Ratio of times taken by A and B = 160:100 = 8:5
8 : 5 :: 12 : x or 8x = 5*12 or x = 7 and half days.
2. A is thrice as good a workman as B and takes 10 days less to do a piece of work
than B takes. B alone can do the whole work in
12 days 20 days
15 days 30 days
: Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1:3.
If difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days.

If difference of time is 10 days, B takes (3/2) * 10 =15 days.

3. finish that work? (Bank P.O. 1992)
A.17 and (1/2) B. 17
C.17 and (1/7) D.17 and (1/120)
Let 1 mans 1 days work = x and 1 womens a days work = y
then 10x = 1/20 and 20y = 1/15 so x = 1/200 and y = 1/300
(5 men + 10 women)s 1 days work = (5/200) + 10/300 = 7/120.
So, they will finish the work in 120/7 = 17 and 1/7 days.

13. A and B can together finish a work in 30 days. They worked at it for 20 days and
then B left. The remaining work was done by A alone in 20 more days. A alone can
finish the work in:. [Central Excise ]

48 days 54 days
50 days 60 days
solu. Work done by A and B in 20 days = (1/30 * 20) = 2/3
Remaining work= ( 1 -2/3) = 1/3 Now,1/3 work is done by A in 20days
Whole work will be done by A in (20x3) = 60 days.
14. A and B can separately do a piece of work in 20 and 15 days respectively. They
worked together for 6 days, after which B was replaced by C. If the work was finished
in next 4 days, then the number of days in which C alone could do the work will be:
(Central Excise & I. Tax 1990)
60 35
40 30
A + B)s 6 days work = 6 [(1/20) + (1/15)] = 7/20
(A+C)s 4days work = (3/10)*(A+C)s 1days work = 1/20 Cs 1 days work = (3/40) (1/20) = 1/40
Hence, C alone can finish the work in 40 days.
15. A certain number of men complete a piece of work in 60 days. If there were 8
men more, the work could be finished in 10 days less. How many men were originally
there ?
30 36
32 40
Originally ;let there be x men.
More men, Less days
(x + : x 60:50
So, x + 8 / x = 60/50 or x = 40.
Hence, there were 40 men, originally.

TIME AND WORK ( PAGE3)

Q.9. A CAN COMPLETE A WORK IN 10 DAYS. WHILE B CAN COMPLETE IT IN 15 DAYS. IF
A AND B WORK FOR DAY ALTERNATE. THAN IN HOW MANY DAYS WORK WILL
COMPLETE?
SOL. A 'S ABILITY - 1 / 10 A 1 ST DAY + B 2 ND DAY
B;S ABILITY - 1 / 15
A+B ( 2 DAYS ABILITY)= 1/10 + 1/ 15= 1/6.
(NOTE: THIS ABILTY IS FOR 2 DAY's WORK BECAUSE AS IN QUESTION DAY ALTERNATE
A ONE DAY, B ANOTHER DAY.
IT MEANS 1/ 6 ABILITY FOR 2 DAY)
SO, IN 1 DAY ABILITY OF BOTH( A+B) = 1/6 / 2 = 1 /12
WE HAVE TOLD U BEFORE ,
TIME = WORK / DAILY ABILITY = 1 / ( 1/ 12) = 12 DAYS
