Question 1; Twelve men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work.

After the 12 men have worked for 1

hour, the contractor decides

to call in 8 more men. How many more hours would 20 men take to complete the remaining work?

12 x 6 = 72, meaning it takes 72 man hours to complete the work.

When the first hour is complete, 12 man hours have been used leaving 60 man hours. 60
man hours divided by 20 men is 3 hours.

Answer: Option C

Solution:
Men Days
x 25
x-10 35
x/ x - 10
=

x/ x - 10
=
7/ 5

7x - 70 = 5x
2x = 70
x = 35

A,s mother is twice as old as A,s brother.

Question 3;
A is 6 years younger than his brother but 4 years older than this
sister.
if A,s sister is 15 his mother,s age is:
;
Write an equation for each statement
:
"A,s mother is twice as old as A,s brother."
m = 2b
"A is 6 years younger than his brother"
A = b-6
:
"but 4 years older than this sister."
A = s+4
:
"if A,s sister is 15 his mother,s age is:
s = 15
then
A = 15 + 4
A = 19
and we know
A = b - 6
19 = b - 6
19 + 6 = b
b = 25
and we know
m = 2b
m = 2(25)
m = 50 yrs is Mom's age

Question4;
If 5 men working 7 hours a day earn Rs. 854 per week how
much will 15 men working 2 hours a day earn per week?

854 per week ,means 854/7=122 per day

5 men,7hrs I.e total 35 hrs—-> 122 Rupees

per 1 Hr=(122/35) rs/hr

therefore 15 men 2 hrs→ 30*((122/35)) per day→ 732/7

per week→ (732/7)*7====732 Rs
