Expected DI & Caselet Questions Based on Time and Work for Upcoming Mains Exam

Detailed Explanation

1. Answer: C) (A + D)’s 1 day’s work = 1/8 + 1/16

Given, = 3/16

A's 1 day's work = 1/8 (A + D)’s 2 days’ work = 2 × 3/16 = 3/8

B's 1 day's work = 1/10 Total work done in 3 days = 3/8 + 1/10 = 19/40

(A + B)’s 1 day's work = 1/8 + 1/10 = 9/40 Remaining portion of work after 3 days = 1 – 19/40 =
21/40
(A + B)’s 2 days’ work = (9/40) × 2 = 9/20
4. Answer: D)
Remaining work after 2 days = 1 – 9/20 = 11/20
Given,
Days taken by D to complete 1/10th of the work = 16 ×
11/20 = 44/5 days A's 1 day's work = 1/8

2. Answer: A) C's 1 day's work = 1/18

A's 1 day's work = 1/8 D's 1 day's work = 1/16

B's 1 day's work = 1/10 Let E's 1 day's work = 1/E

C's 1 day's work = 1/18 Then,

D's 1 day's work = 1/16 1/8 + 1/18 + 1/16 + 1/E = 13/48

(A + B + C + D)’s 1 day’s work = 35/144 + 1/E = 13/48

= 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/18 + 1/16 1/E = 1/36

= (90 + 72 + 40 + 45)/720 E can complete the work in 36 days.

= 247/720 5. Answer: B)

Time taken by all four together to complete the work is Given,

720/247 days.
A's 1 day's work = 1/8
3. Answer: B)
A's 3 days’ work = 3/8
Given,
B's 1 day's work = 1/10
A's 1 day's work = 1/8
B's 4 days’ work = 2/5
D's 1 day's work = 1/16
C's 1 day's work = 1/18

As we can see from the above table, Aayush will take (12 – 14): Common Explanation:
minimum time.
Let the total amount of the work = 180 units
8. Answer: D)
P worked for 9 days and he did 100/3% of the work. So
he can complete the whole work in 27 days.

Amount of the work done by P in one day = 180/27 =

20/3 units

Amount of the work done by S in one day = 20/3 × 75%

= 5 units

Amount of the work done by R in one day = 5 × 2 = 10

units

(20/3 + x) × 9 + (x + 10) × 4 + 7 × x = 180 JCB 3 can complete the whole work in 8 days and
worked for 4 hours per day, hence worked for total (8 ×
60 + 9x + 4x + 40 + 7x = 180 4) = 32 hours
20x = 80 Payment given to a particular JCB is = Rent charges +
x = 4 units Cost of fuel used during the work

The time taken by P alone to complete the work =180/20 Rent of JCB 3 = Rs 600 per day
× 3 = 27 days
⇒ For 8 days it will be = 600 × 8 = Rs 4800
The time taken by Q alone to complete the work = 180/4
Cost of fuel = Total hours of work/Mileage × cost of
= 45 days
diesel per litre
The time taken by R alone to complete the work =
∴ Total payment = 4800 + 32/4×60 = Rs.5280
180/10 = 18 days
16. Answer: B)
The time taken by S alone to complete the work = 180/5
= 36 days JCB 4 worked for 4 days

12. Answer: C) Rent charges for JCB 4 = Rs. 400 per day

Required time taken = 45 days Rent charges for 4 days = 400 × 4 = Rs. 1600

13. Answer: C) Cost of fuel = Total hours of work/Mileage × cost of

diesel per litre
Required time = 180/(10 + 5) = 180/15 = 12 days
Let the new cost of diesel = Rs x/litre
14. Answer: B)
⇒ 32/2 × x = 16x
According to the question,
Total payment = 2752 (given)
5 × 14 + (5 + x) × 10 = 180
Total payment = Rent charges + Cost of fuel used during
70 + 50 + 10x = 180
the work
10x = 60
⇒ 2752 = 1600 + 16x
x=6
⇒ 1152 = 16x
Time taken by T to complete the work alone = 180/6 =
⇒ x = 72
30 days
New price of fuel = Rs. 72/litre
15. Answer: B)
∴ Percentage increase in the price of the fuel = (72 – 60)
/60 × 100 = 20%

17. Answer: A) JCB 4 can complete the whole work in = 4 × 8 = 32

hours
Cost of fuel = Total hours of work/Mileage × cost of
diesel per litre Ratio of efficiency of JCB 1 and JCB 4 = 1 : 3

Cost of fuel by JCB 1 = (12×8) /4 × 60=1440 Total work can be assumed as 96 units

Cost of fuel by JCB 2 = (6×6) /3 × 60=720 Work done by JCB 1 in 3 days = 8 × 3 units

∴ The sum of the Cost of fuel of JCB 1 and JCB 2 = Work left to be done by JCB 4 = 96 – 24 = 72 units
1440 + 720 = Rs. 2160
JCB 4 will complete 72 units of work in = 72/(3×8) = 3
18. Answer: B) days

JCB 4 can complete the whole work in 4 × 8 = 32 hours Total Payment given to JCB 1 = Rent charges + Cost of
fuel
JCB 3 can complete the whole work in 8 × 4 = 32 hours
Rent charges = 3 × 500 = Rs. 1500
⇒ Total work can be assumed as = 32 units
Cost of fuel = Total hours of work/Mileage×cost of
⇒ Work done by JCB4 in 2 days = 2 × 8 = 16 units diesel per litre
⇒ Work left to be done by JCB 3 = 32 – 16 = 16 units ⇒(3×8)/4×60=Rs. 360
∴ JCB 3 will complete 16 units in = 16/4 = 4 days (JCB Total payment given to JCB 1 = 1500 + 360 = Rs.1860
3 do 4 units of work in a day)
Total payment given to JCB 4 = Rent charges + Cost of
19. Answer: D) fuel
Total payment = Rent charges + Cost of fuel Rent charges = 3 × 400 = Rs. 1200
Payment made due to wrong calculation: Cost of fuel = Total hours of work/Mileage×cost of
⇒ Total Payment = 600 × (12) + (12×8) /4×60 = Rs. diesel per litre
8640 ⇒ (3×8) /2×60=Rs. 720
Actual Payment which should have been done = 500 × Total payment given to JCB 4 = 1200 + 720 = Rs. 1920
(12) + (12×8) /4 × 60 = Rs. 7440
The ratio of the total payment given to JCB 1 and JCB 4
∴ Extra payment given to JCB 1 =8640 – 7440 = Rs. = 1860/1920 = 31/32
1200
∴ Ratio is 31 : 32
20. Answer: C)
21. Answer: C)
JCB 1 can complete the whole work in = 12 × 8 = 96

30 × (X + 20) = 45X Let total work = LCM (10, 18, 20) = 180 unit

30X + 600 = 45X One day work of A = 180/10 = 18 unit

X = 40 One day work of G = 180/20 = 9 unit

Total work = 40 × 45 = 1800 units One day work of D = 180/18 = 10 unit

Desired number of days = 1800/75 = 24 days Work done by A and G in 3 days = (18 + 9) × 3 = 81 unit

22. Answer: C) Work done by G and D in 1 day = (10 + 9) × 1= 19 unit

According to question, Remaining work = 180 - (81 + 19) = 80 unit

(Y – 5) × (Y + 5) = Y × (Y – 1) ∴ Time taken by D to complete the remaining work =

80/10 days = 8 days
Y2 – 25 = Y2 – Y
25. Answer: B)
Y = 25
Time taken by J to do the work = 20/5 × 6 = 24 days
So, total amount of work = 25 × (25 – 1) = 25 × 24 = 600
units Let total work = LCM (15, 12, 24) = 120 unit

Amount of work done by 0.6Y (15 people) in 20 days =
15 × 20 = 300 units
Amount of work left = 600 – 300 = 300 units
Desired time = 20 + 300/(15 + 5) = 20 + 15 = 35 days
23. Answer: D)
One day work of B = 120/15 = 8 unit
One day work of C = 120/12 = 10 unit
One day work of J = 120/24 = 5 unit
Work done by C and J in 3(2/5) days = (10 + 5) × 17/5 =
51 unit

According to question, Remaining work = 120 – 51 = 69 unit

175 × Z2 = 252 × M2 No. of day for which B, C and J worked together = 69/ (8
+ 10 + 5) = 69/23 = 3 day
(Z/M)2 = 252/175 = 36/25
∴ B left the work after 3 days.
Z/M = 6/5
26. Answer: B)
5Z = 6M
Time taken by F to do whole work alone = 10/5 × 7 = 14
Total number of workers = 5Z × 6M = 6M × 6M = 36M2
Time taken by I to do whole work alone = 18/6 × 5 = 15
Desired time = (252M2)/(36M2) = 7 days
Let total work = LCM (14, 15, 20) = 420 unit
24. Answer: B)
One day work of F = 420/14 = 30 unit
Time taken by G to do work = 15/3 × 4 = 20

Expected DI & Caselet Questions Based on Time and Work for Upcoming Mains Exam

One day work of I = 420/15 = 28 unit Let the total work be 180 unit

For the last 2 days F worked alone, One day work of A = 180/10 = 18 unit

So work done by F in last 2 days = 30 × 2 = 60 unit One day work of E = 180/20 = 9 unit

Remaining work = 420 – 60 = 360 unit One day work of G = 180/20 = 9 unit

360 unit of work done by F, I and E together in = One day work of D = 180/18 = 10 unit
360/(30 + 28 + 21) = 4 (44/79)
One day work of J = 180/24 = 7.5 unit
27. Answer: C)
Quantity A:
Time taken by H to do work = 12/4 × 5 = 15 days
Time taken by A, E and G = 180/(36) = 5 days
Let total work = LCM (15, 18, 15) = 90 unit
Quantity B:
One day work of B = 90/15 = 6 unit
Time taken by D, E and J = 180/(26.5) = 6(42/53) days
One day work of D = 90/18 = 5 unit
∴ Quantity A < Quantity B
One day work of H = 90/15 = 6 unit
(29 – 31): Common Explanation:
From I,
Time taken by P alone to complete the work = x days
Work done by B, D and H in 2 days = (6 + 6 + 5) × 2 =
34 unit Time taken by R alone to complete the work = (x + 14)
days
Remaining work = 90 – 34 = 56 unit
Efficiency of R = 1/(x + 14)
Work done by D and H = 56/11 = 5(1/11) days
Efficiency of Q = 1/(x + 14) × 100/125 = 4/[5(x + 14)]
Total time taken = 2 + 5(1/11) days
Efficiency of S = 4/[5(x + 14)] × 7/6 = 14/[15(x + 14)]
From II,
According to the question,
13(1/3)% of work = 13(1/3)% of 90 = 12 unit
11/x + {1/x + 4/5(x + 14)} × 15 + {14/15(x + 14)} × 10
12 unit of work done by B in = 12 /6 = 2 days =1

This means that B has worked for 2 days, 11/x + 15/x + 12/(x + 14) + 28/3(x + 14) = 1

We can find the answer using this statement too. 26/x + 64/3(x + 14) = 1

∴ Question can be answered using either of the (3x + 42) × 26 + 64x = 3x2 + 42
statement.
78x + 1092 + 64x = 3x2 + 42x
28. Answer: A)
3x2 – 100x – 1092 = 0

Expected DI & Caselet Questions Based on Time and Work for Upcoming Mains Exam

3x2 – 126x + 26x – 1092 = 0 (32 – 34): Common Explanation:

3x(x – 42) + 26(x – 42) = 0 M = Man, W = Women, C = Child

(x – 42)(x + 26) = 0 X women can do a work in 2Y days and 1.5X man can
do the work in Y days.
x = 42, x = - 26
⇒ 2XY W = 1.5XY M
So, x = 42
⇒ M/W = 4/3
Time taken by P alone to complete the work = 42 days
X women can do a work in 2Y days and 3X child can do
Time taken by R alone to complete the work = (42 + 14)
the work in 4Y days.
= 56 days
⇒ 2XY W = 12XY C
Time taken by Q alone to complete the work = 5(42 +
14)/4 = 70 days ⇒ W/C = 6/1

Time taken by S alone to complete the work = 15(42 + ∴M:W:C=8:6:1

14)/14 = 60 days
8 males, 8 females and 8 children together can do the
29. Answer: B) work in 22.5 days.

Required value of x = 42 Total work = 22.5(8 × 8 + 8 × 6 + 8 × 1) = 2700

30. Answer: D) 32. Answer: D)

S takes 60 days to complete the work alone. 2.5X females complete the work in 24 days.

The time taken by S to complete the 60% of the total 2.5X × 24 = 2700
work = 60 × 60% = 36 days
⇒ X = 45
31. Answer: C)
X women can do a work in 2Y days.
Let the total work = 420 units
⇒ 2XY = 2700
Amount of the work done by P in one day = 420/42 = 10
units ⇒ 2 × 45 Y = 2700

Amount of the work done by Q in one day = 420/70 = 6 ⇒ Y = 30

units
33. Answer: E)
Amount of the work done by P and Q in one day = 10 +
Number of days taken by 10 males and 12 females
6 = 16 units
together to complete the work = 2700/(10 × 8 + 12 × 6) =

45. Answer: E)

Let time taken by Virat and Rahul together to complete 60% of Job-Q = t

So, time taken by Virat and Sourav together to complete Job-Q = t/0.6

Therefore, 1/462 + 1/420 = 0.6/t

t = 132 days

Payment for 40% of the job = Rs. 62000

So, Payment for 60% of the job = 62000*6/4 = Rs. 93000

Therefore, daily payment to Virat and Sourav together = Rs. 93000/132 = Rs. 704.54

46. Answer: E)

Let Total Number of days to complete job = t

100/315 + (t-50)/252 + t/420 = 1

400+5(t-50) +3t/1260 =1

47. Answer: A)

Part of Job-S done in one day when Dhoni and Sourav work together = 1/140 + 1/70 = 3/140

Part of Job-T done in one day when Dhoni and Sourav work together = 1/300 + 1/120 = 7/600 7/600 < 3/140

So, Job-S will be completed first.

Number of days spent on Job-S = 140/3 = 46.6777 i.e., 47 days

Number of days spent on Job-T before Virat joined in Job-T = 46 days

Portion of Job-T done in 46 days = 46*7/600

Remaining portion of Job-T = 1 – 46*7/600 = 278/600

Let in t days the remaining portion of Job-T done will be by Dhoni, Sourav and Virat.

So, in one day the amount of work done by three of them working together is=1/300 + 1/120 + 1/150.

(1/t)(278/600) = 1/300 + 1/120 + 1/150 => 278/t = 11 = t = 278/11

Therefore, total number of days = 47+46+278/11 = 130 1/11 days

48. Answer: D)

Time taken to complete Job-P = A

1/A = 1/144 + 1/80 + 1/90 + 1/60 + 1/48 => A = 720/49 i.e. 15 days

Time taken to complete Job-Q = B

1/B = 1/770 + 1/924 + 1/420 + 1/462 + 1/385 => B = 4620/44 i.e. 105 days

Time taken to complete Job-R = C

1/C = 1/315 + 1/420 + 1/252 + 1/90 + 1/105 => C = 1260/38 i.e. 34 days

Time taken to complete Job-S = D

1/D = 1/84 + 1/168 + 1/105 + 1/70 + 1/140 => D = 840/41 i.e. 21 days

Time taken to complete Job-T = E 1/E = 1/225 + 1/180 + 1/150 + 1/120 + 1/300 => E = 1800/51 i.e. 36 days

Therefore, total number of days =15+105+34+21+36 = 211 days
