Joel 60 …………………………..3 Solution:
1st two days =6*2=12unit work completed. 8W=6M=12B
3rd day (6+4+3)= 13unit Then 1M=2B, 1W=3/2B, 1W=3/4M
For 3 days Then 12 M+12W+12B=12M+9M+6M=27M

Option A View Answer
Solution:
Efficiency (A : B) = 5 : 4 Option E
Number of days(A : B) = 4x : 5x = 4x : 25 Solution:
∴ Number of days required by A to finish 20M * 12 days = 24B *20 days
the work alone = 4x then 1M=2B
= 4 x 5 = 20. Now 16M + 8B==>16M+4M=12 days ie
A and B work together for last 5 days = 5 x 20M=12 days.
9 = 45% So no more days needed to complete the
Efficiency of A = 5% and B’s efficiency = work.
4% 2. A and B each working alone can do a
∴ No. of days taken by A to complete 55% work in 12 and 36 days respectively.

View Answer
Option A
Solution: Option B
Total work = 60 units Solution:
A takes = 6 units/day Let the number fo women left the work
B takes = 5 units/day be x
C takes = 4 units/day 6 women done the work in 3 days = 3/6 =
Now , ½
(x-5)/10 + (x-3)/12 + x/15 = 1 remaining work = 1 – ½ = ½
=> x = 7 days Now,
M1 D1/W1 = M2D2/W2

One day work of A and B is 3+1=4 units Option D
A and B will complete the work in Solution:

alone ,1 hour less time than B alone and Then for all the eleven days the total
half the time needed by C .In how many work = 1 + 2 + 3+ ………….11 = 66
days will A finish the work alone ? units (Use formula
A) 20/3 days N(N+1)/2)
B) 23/4 days Now 6 men /day work = 6 units/day.
C) 22/5 days They can complete 66 units of work in =
D) 33/6 days 66/6
E) 27/8 days =11 days
Option A Option C
Solution: Solution:
30Men * 25 days = 750 Let printing completed in be T hours
35 Men * 12 Days = 420 Then A ‘s 1 hour work ,B’s T hours work
Total =750+420=1170 and C;s T hours work =Total work
Now,1170/30 =39 days 1/15 +T/10+T/12 =1
1 day delay T= 5(1/11)
Hence ,the printing of books will be
completed at 5(1/11)hours
6. A group of men decided to do a job in 4
days but 20 men dropped out everyday
,the job was completed at the end of the 8. Ramesh and Ram can do a piece of work

A) 155 leaves the work and another their friend
B) 135 Rohit joins the work and completed the
Option C
View Answer Solution:
Total work = 48 ,… A+B = 4 ….B+C =
Option D 3
Solution: now, 5A + 7B + 13C = 48
Ram : mohan = 6:5 split it
R+M = 11 5A +5B + 2B + 2C + 11C = 48
R+M = 1575 * 275 / 15* 25 = 1155 so 5*4 + 2*3 + 11c = 48
words in 1 hour so 11c = 22 …… c = 2
ram will type = 1155 * 6/11 = 630 words so c alone = 48/2 = 24
in 1 hour A — 48/3 = 16
B— 48/1 =48
Option D Option D
Solution: Solution:
24*12 – 24*4 =( 24+8 )x 100 men completed 5/12 work in 35 days
By solving we get x = 6 days So 100 men can complete the remaining
7/12 work in 49 days:
Use M1*D1*W2 = M2*D2*W1
6. In two days A, B and C together can 100*35*(7/12) = 100*D2* (5/12)
finish 1/4 of a work and in another 2 days D2 = 49 days
B and C together can finish 1/5 part of But after 35 days, 40 more men were
the work. Then A alone can complete the employed, so 140 men now and they
whole work in? completed 7/12 work in
A) 10 days By M1*D1*W2 = M2*D2*W1
B) 20 days 100*35*(7/12) = 140*D2*(5/12)
C) 40 days D2 = 35 days
D) 35 days So extra days = 49-35 = 14 days
E) None of these.
Option B
Solution: 1. B takes twice time as A to complete a
Total work – 50 work and C takes thrice time as B to
a== 5 complete a work. If Rs6000 is given to
b== 4 them to complete a work together then B
it already contain 8% milk = 4 lit gets how much amount?
a—- in 2 hrs = 5*2 = 10 lit water A) Rs1800
so, total fill = 14 lit. remain. = 36 lit B) Rs3600
done by a+b in 36/9 = 4 hrs C) Rs600
so,water added by a — 4*5 = 20 litre D) Rs3000
milk added by b —- 4*4 = 16 litre E) Rs1200
so. Total water ==== 10 + 20 = 30 litre
Total milk ===== 4 + 16 === 20 litre

Option A Option D
Solution: Solution:
LCM = 120 LCM = 36
A+B=60 ………120/60 = 2 A = 18……….. 2
Option A Option C
Solution: Solution:
1 man complete the work in = 2*5= 10 A = 18, B = 30, C = 45
hrs. LCM = 90
Same 1 woman = 21hrs A = 90/18 = 5, B = 3, C = 2
1 boy = 36hrs 1st day…………2nd day……………3rd
LCM = 1260 day
M = 10………1260/10= 126 A=5……………..C=2………………….
W = 21……………………… 60 B=3+3
B = 36……………………… 35 than
. 221 4 days work = 5 + 2 + 6 = 13
= 1260/221 Ans Make it near total (90)
4*6…………….. 13*6
9. If 30 men and 14 boys can reap a field in 24………………..78
21 days. In how many days will 20 men A -> 1 ……………..5
and 4 boys will reap it? (When 3 men do B -> 1……………….2
as much as work as 5 boys.) C -> 1……………….3
A) 36 days Add
B) 30 days 24+1+1+1=27
C) 42 days days……………..(78+5+2+3) = 88 days
D) 45 days Now 90-88 = 2 work pending
E) 32 days B does 3 work in 1 day, so 2 in 2/3. So
total 27 2/3 days
View Answer
Option D
Solution:
A=11 ———— 20 (total work=220)
B=20—————11
C=55 —————4
A+B=31
A+C=24
hence 2 days work =31+24=55
total work 220=55*4 hence total days
=2*4=8 days
View Answer
Option A
Solution:
A= 30 ————– 4 (Total=120)
B=40 ————– 3
A+B=7
in 12 days 7*12=84 work is done.
Remaining =120-84=36
this is done by C in 3 days. Means C does
12 work in 1 day. Means 120 work in
120/12=10 days
