Q. 1 A does 80% of a work in 20 days. He then calls in B and they together finish the remaining work in 3 days.
How long B
alone would take to do the whole work?
[A] 23 days
[B] 37 days
www.joblal.com
[C]
37
[D] 40 days
Answer Option [C]
Explanation:
5
Whole work is done by A in 20 x = 25 days.
4

4 1
Now, 1 i.e., work is done by A and B in 3 days.
5 5

Whole work will be done by A and B in (3 x 5) = 15 days.
1 1
A's 1 day's work = , (A + B)'s 1 day's work =
25 15 .

1 1 4 2
B's 1 day's work = = =
15 25 150 75 .

75 1
So, B alone would do the work in = 37 days.

Q. 2 The product of two numbers is 9375 and the quotient, when the larger one is divided by the smaller, is 15. The sum of
the numbers is:
[A] 380
[B] 395
www.joblal.com
[C] 400
[D] 425
Answer Option [C]
Explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y .
x
Then, x y = 9375 and = 15.
y

xy 9375
=
(x/y) 15

y 2 = 625.
y = 25.
x = 15 y = (15 x 25) = 375.
Sum of the numbers = x + y = 375 + 25 = 400.

Q. 3 A can do a work in 15 days and B in 20 days. If they work on it together for 4 days, then the fraction of the work that is
left is :
[A] 1

Answer Option [D]
Explanation:
1
A's 1 day's work = ;
15

1
B's 1 day's work = ;
20

1 1 7
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = + =
15 20 60 .

7 7
(A + B)'s 4 day's work = x 4 =
60 15 .

7 8
Therefore, Remaining work = 1 =
15 15 .
Q. 4 A, B and C can complete a piece of work in 24, 6 and 12 days respectively. Working together, they will complete the
same work in:
[A] 1
day
24
[B]
[C]
7
24
3 7
3
day
days
www.joblal.com
[D] 4 days
Answer Option [C]
Explanation:
1
Formula: If A can do a piece of work in n days, then A's 1 day's work =
n .

1 1 1 7
(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = + + =
24 6 12 24 .

24 3
So, all the three together will complete the job in = 3 days.
7 7
days

Q. 5 A can do a certain work in the same time in which B and C together can do it. If A and B together could do it in 10 days
and C alone in 50 days, then B alone could do it in:
[A] 15 days
[B] 20 days
www.joblal.com
[C] 25 days
[D] 30 days
Answer Option [C]
Explanation:
1
(A + B)'s 1 day's work =
10

1
C's 1 day's work =
50

1 1 6 3
(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = + = =
10 50 50 25 . .... (i)

A's 1 day's work = (B + C)'s 1 day's work .... (ii)
3
From (i) and (ii), we get: 2 x (A's 1 day's work) =
25

3
A's 1 day's work =
50 .

1 3 2 1
B's 1 day's work = =
10 50 50 25 .

So, B alone could do the work in 25 days.

Q. 7 If 6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days while 26 men and 48 boys can do the same in 2 days, the time
taken by 15 men and 20 boys in doing the same type of work will be:
[A] 4 days
[B] 5 days
www.joblal.com
[C] 6 days
[D] 7 days
Answer Option [A]
Explanation:
Let 1 man's 1 day's work = x and 1 boy's 1 day's work = y .
1 1
Then, 6x + 8y = and 26x + 48y =
10 2 .

1 1
Solving these two equations, we get : x = and y =
100 200 .

15 20 1
(15 men + 20 boy)'s 1 day's work = + =
100 200 4 .

15 men and 20 boys can do the work in 4 days.

[C] 19
Answer
[D]
Option [B]
20
Explanation:
www.joblal.com
Let the fourth proportional to 5, 8, 15 be x .
Then, 5 : 8 : 15 : x
5 x = (8 x 15)
(8 x 15)
x = = 24.

kg. What might be the weight of the new person?
[A] 76 kg
[B] 76.5 kg
[C] 85 kg
[D] Data inadequate
[E] None of these
Answer Option [C]

Total weight increased = (8 x 2.5) kg = 20 kg.
Weight of new person = (65 + 20) kg = 85 kg.

Q. 10 Three taps A, B and C can fill a tank in 12, 15 and 20 hours respectively. If A is open all the time and B and C are open
for one hour each alternately, the tank will be full in:
[A] 6 hours
[B] 2
hours
www.joblal.com
6 3
[C] 7 hours
[D] 1
hours
7 2
Answer Option [C]
Explanation:
1 1 9 3
(A + B)'s 1 hour's work = + = =
12 15 60 20 .

1 1 8 2
(A + C)'s hour's work = + = =
12 20 60 15 .

3 2 17
Part filled in 2 hrs = + =
20 15 60 .

17 17
Part filled in 6 hrs = 3 x =
60 20 .

17 3
Remaining part = 1 =
20 20 .

Now, it is the turn of A and B and part is filled by A and B in 1 hour.
20

Total time taken to fill the tank = (6 + 1) hrs = 7 hrs.

Q. 14 The product of two numbers is 120 and the sum of their squares is 289. The sum of the number is:
[A] 20
[B] 23
[C] 169
Answer
[D]
Option [B]
None of these
Explanation:
www.joblal.com
Let the numbers be x and y .

Then, x y = 120 and x 2 + y 2 = 289.

( x + y )2 = x 2 + y 2 + 2 x y = 289 + (2 x 120) = 529
x + y = 529 = 23.

Q. 15 A and B together can do a piece of work in 30 days. A having worked for 16 days, B finishes the remaining work alone
in 44 days. In how many days shall B finish the whole work alone?
[A] 30 days
[B] 40 days
www.joblal.com
[C] 60 days
[D] 70 days
Answer Option [C]
Explanation:
Let A's 1 day's work = x and B's 1 day's work = y .
1
Then, x + y = and 16x + 44y = 1.
30

1 1
Solving these two equations, we get: x = and y =
60 60

1
B's 1 day's work =
60 .

Hence, B alone shall finish the whole work in 60 days.

Q. 16 Find a positive number which when increased by 17 is equal to 60 times the reciprocal of the number.

Answer
[D]
Option [A]
20
Explanation:
www.joblal.com
Let the number be x .

Then, x + 17 =
x

x 2 + 17 x 60 = 0
( x + 20)( x 3) = 0
x = 3.
Q. 17 A large tanker can be filled by two pipes A and B in 60 minutes and 40 minutes respectively. How many minutes will it
take to fill the tanker from empty state if B is used for half the time and A and B fill it together for the other half?
[A] 15 min
[B] 20 min
www.joblal.com
[C] 27.5 min
[D] 30 min

Q. 18 The average age of husband, wife and their child 3 years ago was 27 years and that of wife and the child 5 years ago
was 20 years. The present age of the husband is:
[A] 35 years
[B] 40 years
www.joblal.com
[C] 50 years
[D] None of these
Answer Option [B]
Explanation:
Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child = (27 x 3 + 3 x 3) years = 90 years.
Sum of the present ages of wife and child = (20 x 2 + 5 x 2) years = 50 years.
Husband's present age = (90 50) years = 40 years.

Q. 19 A is 30% more efficient than B. How much time will they, working together, take to complete a job which A alone could
have done in 23 days?
[A] 11 days
[B] 13 days
www.joblal.com
[C] 3
days
20 17
[D] None of these
Answer Option [B]
Explanation:
Ratio of times taken by A and B = 100 : 130 = 10 : 13.
Suppose B takes x days to do the work.
Then, 10 : 13 :: 23 : x x =
23 x 13 x = 299 .
10 10

1
A's 1 day's work = ;
23

B's 1 day's work = .
299

1 10 23 1
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = + = =
23 299 299 13 .

Therefore, A and B together can complete the work in 13 days.
