they complete 1/4 of the work. He then reduces the number of men to 100, who work for 60 days,
after which there are 10 days holidays. How many men must be employed for the remaining period
to finish the work?
Solution :
Approach - 1 :
(150×25)/(1/4) = (100×60)/W
⇒ 150×4×25 = 100×60/W
⇒ 25W = 10
⇒ W = 2/5
∴ Remaining work = 1 - (1/4+2/5) = 7/20
Now, (150×25)/(1/4) = (100+M)×35/(7/20)

⇒ 100+M = 150
⇒ M = 50 [Ans]
Approach - 2 :
150×25×4 = 150×25 + 100×60 + 35×(M+100)

⇒ 35M + 3500 = 150×25×3 - 100×60

90) A is 20% more efficient than B and takes 40 days less than B to complete a job. B is 50% more
efficient than C. On this job, A works for 50 days and quits. Then B takes over and works for 120
days and quits. C completed the remaining work. The no. of days worked by C is –
Solution :
A:B=6:5
B:C=3:2
∴ A : B : C = 18 : 15 : 10 [Efficiency]
Now, 1 part is ≡ 40
⇒ 5 part is ≡ 200
So, Total work = 200×18=3600 units
Now, 3600=18×50+15×120+10×D
⇒ 3600 = 900+1800+10D

91) A can do a piece of work in 40 days B can do the same piece of work in 60 days. A and B started
the work together in the first 15 dabs A worked with 50% of his efficiency, in the next l5 days B
worked with 50% of his efficiency. Now in how many days does the remaining work will be completed
if both of them work with their full efficiencies?
Solution :
A : B = 40 : 60 = 2 : 3 [Time]
A : B = 3 : 2 [Efficiency]

Solution :
A : B = 45 : 36 = 5 : 4 [Time]
Now, 180 = 4×18 + 9×D
⇒ D + 8 = 20
⇒ D = 12
So, A : B = (18+12) : 12
⇒ A : B = 30 : 12 [Day]

than B?
[36]
ABIR - 01723856285
Solution :
Approach -1 :
Let, Total work be 60 units [LCM of 7.5 and 20]
∴ Eff of (A+B) = (60/7.5) i.e 8
Let, The efficiency of A be 'a'
∴ The efficiency of B will be '(8-a)
As per question,
(30/a) + (30/8-a) = 20
⇒ 30(8-a) + 30a = 20a(8 - a)
⇒ 24 - 3a + 3a = 16a - 2a²
⇒ 2a² -16a + 24 = 0
⇒ a² - 8a + 12 = 0
⇒ a² - 6a - 2a + 12 = 0
⇒ a(a-6) - 2(a-6) = 0
⇒ (a-6)(a-2) = 0
Either, a = 6 or a = 2
Since A is more efficient than B, so, Efficiency of A = 6
∴ Efficiency of B = (8-6) i.e 2
∴ Required time for B = (60/2) i.e 30 days [Ans]
Approach - 2 :
We know, Required time for Together = [AB/(A+B)]
Let, B takes 'd' days
So, A takes '(40-d)' days

[
As per question,
[(40 - d)×d]/(40 - d + d) = 7.5
⇒ 40d - d² = 300
[37]
ABIR - 01723856285
⇒ d² - 40d + 300 = 0
⇒ d² - 30d - 10d + 300 = 0
⇒ d(d - 30) - 10(d - 30) = 0
⇒ (d - 30)(d-10) = 0
Either, d = 30 or d = 10
Since A is more efficient than B.
∴ B takes 30 days to complete the whole work. [Ans]

95) P, Q and R are three typists who working simultaneously can type 216 pages in 4 hours. In one
hour, R can type as many pages more than Q as Q can type more than P. During a period of five
hours, R can type as many pages as P can during seven hours. How many pages does each of them
type per hour?
Solution :
Let, The efficiency of P, Q and R be P, Q and R respectively.
Here, 5R = 7P
⇒ P : R = 5 : 7 [Efficiency]
And, R - Q = Q - P
⇒ R + P = 2Q
⇒ 5+7 = 2Q
⇒Q=6
∴P:Q:R=5:6:7
Given, In 4 hrs (P+Q+R) can type 216 pages
∴ In 1 hr (P+Q+R) can type (216/4) i.e 54 pages
∴ P types = 54×(5/18) = 15 pages
∴ Q types = 54×(6/18) = 18 pages
And, R types = 54×(7/18) = 21 pages

Therefore, work done before increasing the no. of workers = (m/7m)×100 % = 14(2/7)% [ Ans]
==========================================================================
123) In a factory, there are equal number of women and children. Women work for 6 hours a day
and children for 4 hours a day. During festival time, the work load goes up by 50%. The government
rule does not allow children to work for more than 6 hours a day. If they are equally efficient and the
extra work is done by women, then extra hours of work put in by women everyday are –
Solution :
(6 + 4)/2 = (6 + 6 + H)/3
⇒ 5 × 3 = 12 + H
⇒ H = 15 - 12 = 3 hours [Ans]
==========================================================================
124) A contractor employed 200 workers. They finished 5/6 of the work in 100 days. Due to rain, the
work stopped for 20 days and also destroyed 2/5 of the work. After the rain 150 workers came to
work. In how many days will the work be complete?
Solution :

In 100 days, Done work = 30×(5/6) = 25 units
Rain destroyed = 25×(2/5) = 10 units
∴ Work to be done = 30 - (25 - 10) = 15 units
Now, (200×100)/25 = (150×D)/15

⇒ 800 = 10D
⇒ D = 80 days
∴ Total Time = (100 + 20 + 80) = 200 days [Ans]
==========================================================================
125) A can complete a project in 20 days, and B can complete the same project in 30 days. If A and
B start working on the project together and A quits 10 days before the project is expected to be
completed, in how many days will the project be completed?
[51]
ABIR - 01723856285
Solution :
∴ A : B = 3 : 2 [Efficiency]
∴ Required Time for together = (60/5) i.e 12 days
Now, 2×5 + 2×D = 60
⇒ 2D = 50
⇒ D = 25 days
==========================================================================
126) Two men and women are entrusted with a task. The second man needs three hours more to cope
up with the job than the second man and the woman would need working together. The first man,
working alone, would need as much time as second man and the woman working together. The first
man working alone, would spend eight hours less than the double period of the time second man
would spend working alone. How much time would the two men and the women need to complete the
task if they all worked together?
Solution :
Let, second man and woman together take ‘t’ hours
∴ First man also takes ‘t’ hours
Then, second man takes (t+3) hours
ATQ,2(t+3) - t = 8
⇒ 2t+6-t = 8
⇒t=2
∴ First Man takes 2 hours to complete the whole work.
And, (Second man + woman) take 2 hours to complete the whole work.
∴ Required Time = (2×2)/(2+2) = 1 hour [Ans]
==========================================================================
127) Two musicians, Maria and Perry, work at independent constant rates to tune a warehouse full
of instruments. If both musicians start at the same time and work at their normal rates, they will
complete the job in 45 minutes. However, if Perry were to work at twice Maria’s rate, they would
take only 20 minutes. How long would it take Perry, working alone at his normal rate, to tune the
warehouse full of instruments?
[52]
ABIR - 01723856285
Solution :
Approach - 1:
45(M+P) = 20(M+2M)
⇒ 9M + 9P = 12M
⇒ P : M = 3 : 9 = 1 : 3 (Efficiency)
Now, 20×3×3 = 1×T
⇒ T = 180 mins i.e 3 hrs [Ans]
Approach – 2 (Mental Approach) :
3M in 20 min; So, M in 60 min

Then, P in = (60×45)/(60-45) = 180 min = 3 hr [Ans]

128) It’s year 2025 and iphone16 has just been launched. Apple has claimed that it is the best iPhone
they have created so far. It’s 4 charging inlets have completely revolutionized the mobile market. If
only top and bottom inlets are used, it takes 20 mins to fully charge. If the right, left and bottom inlet
are used, it takes 15 mins to fully charge. If top, left and right inlets are used, it takes 12 mins to
charge. What is the fastest possible time in which the iphone16 can be fully charged?
Solution :
[
Let, Total Capacity be 60 amph

∴ Efficiency of ( T + B ) = 60/20 = 3 apmh
∴ Efficiency of ( RL + B ) = 60/15 = 4 amph
∴ Efficiency of ( RL + T ) = 60/12 = 5 amph
∴ Efficiency of ( RL + T + B ) = (3+4+5)/2 = 6 amphitheater
∴ Required Time = 60/6 = 10 minutes [Ans]
==========================================================================
129) (x-2) person can do a work in x days and (x+7) person can do 75% of the same work in (x-10)
days. Then in how many days can (x+10) person finish the work?
Solution :
[
3x(x - 2) = 4(x - 10)(x + 7)

⇒ 3x² - 6x = 4x² - 12x - 280
[53]
ABIR - 01723856285
⇒ x² - 6x - 280 = 0
⇒ x² - 20x + 14x - 280 = 0
⇒ (x - 20) (x + 14) = 0
Either, x = 20 or - 14
But, x = - 14 Can NOT be used
Now, 20×(20 - 2) = (20 + 10)×D
⇒ 30D = 20×18
⇒ D = 4×3 = 12 days [Ans]
==========================================================================
130) P and Q together can do a job in 6 days. Q and R can finish the same job in 60/ 7 days. P Started
the work and worked for 3 days. Q and R continued for 6 days to, finish the work. Then the difference
of days in which R and P can complete the job alone is?
Solution :
[
Here, (P+Q)×6=(Q+R)×(60/7)
⇒ 7P + 7Q =10Q+10R
⇒ (P +Q) : (Q+R)= 10 : 7
Now, 10×6=3P + 42
⇒ 3P = 18
⇒P=6
∴ Q= 10 -6 = 4 ; R=7-4=3
∴ P : Q : R = 6 : 4 : 3 [Efficiency]
∴ Required Time for R = 60/3=20 days
∴ Required Time for P = 60/6=10 days
∴ The diff of R & R in (20-10) i.e 10 days [Ans]
==========================================================================
131) A is 33.33% more efficient than B. They together worked for 2 days and complete 29(1/6)% of
work. Then B left and another person C joined whose efficiency is 20% less than efficiency of A. Find
the time in which C alone will complete the whole work?
[54]
ABIR - 01723856285
Solution :
[
Approach - 1 :
B:A=3:4
A:C=5:4
∴ B : A : C = 15 : 20 : 16 (Efficiency)
Now, 7 units ≡ 2 days
⇒ 24 units ≡ (48/7) days
Now, (48/7)×35 = 16×T
⇒ T = 15 days [Ans]
Approach - 2 :
Time , B : A = 4 : 3
Time , A : C = 4 : 5
So, A : B : C = 12 : 16 : 15
∴ Taken by C 15 days [Ans]

132) Rakesh can build an entire wall alone in 10 days. Mukesh can demolish the same wall in a total
of 15 days when working alone. If Rakesh and Mukesh work on alternate days, Rakesh building part
of the wall one day and Mukesh demolishing part of the wall the next day, in how many days will the
complete wall be built for the first time?
Solution :
[
∴ R : M = 30/10 : 30/15 = 3 : 2 (Efficiency)
At the last day when Rakesh's turns come, Rakesh build 3 units and work will be completed.
Now, (3 - 2) i.e 1 units can be done in 2 days
So, (30 - 3) i.e 27 units can be done in 54 days
∴ Remaining 3 units will be done by Rakesh in (3/3) i.e 1 day
∴ Total Time = (54 + 1) = 55 days [Ans]
==========================================================================

ABIR - 01723856285
133) When A and B work together then they take 4 hours to complete a piece of work. When B alone
works at 75% of his efficiency then he takes 8 hours to complete half of the piece of work. Find the
number of hours A alone will take to complete the piece of work if he works at 75% his efficiency?
Solution :
[
Let, The efficiency of A and B be `A' and `B' respectively.

ATQ,4×4(A+B) = 3×16B
⇒A + B = 3B
⇒A = 2B
⇒A : B = 2 : 1
Now, 4×3 = (6/4)×T
⇒T = 2×4 = 8 hrs [Ans]
==========================================================================
134) The number of a days in which A and B can finish a work is 12 days less than the time taken by
A alone and 27 days less than the time taken by B alone. If A and B can finish the work in 15 days
with the help of C and if the total compensation of the work is TK.3000, find the share of C.
Solution :
[
Time taken by (A+B) = √(12×27) = 18 days
∴ (A + B + C) : (A + B) = 18 : 15 = 6 : 5 (Efficiency)
∴ Efficiency of C = (6 - 5) = 1 unit
∴ Share of C = 3,000×(1/6) = 500 [Ans]
==========================================================================
135) If 5 men and 5 women work together then they can finish a work in 5 days but if 5 women work
alone then they take 40/3 more days than the time required by 5 men. Find efficiency of one woman
is how much percentage less than one man?
Solution :
[
5(5m + 5w)/5w - 5(5m + 5w)/5m = 40/3
⇒(5m + 5w)/w - (5m + 5w)/m = 40/3
⇒5m² + 5mw - 5mw - 5w² = 40mw/3
⇒3m² - 8mw - 3w² = 0
⇒3m² - 9mw + mw - 3w² = 0
[56]
ABIR - 01723856285
⇒3m(m - 3w) + w(m - 3w) = 0
⇒m = 3w
⇒m : w = 3 : 1
∴ Required % = 2/3 i.e 66.67% [Ans]
==========================================================================
136) Rakesh can build an entire wall alone in 10 days. Mukesh can demolish the same wall in a total
of 15 days when working alone. If Rakesh and Mukesh work on alternate days, Rakesh building part
of the wall one day and Mukesh demolishing part of the wall the next day, in how many days will the
complete wall be built for the first time?
Solution :
[
∴ R : M = 30/10 : 30/15 = 3 : 2 (Efficiency)
At the last day when Rakesh's turns come, Rakesh build 3 units and work will be completed.
Now, (3 - 2) i.e 1 units can be done in 2 days
So, (30 - 3) i.e 27 units can be done in 54 days
∴ Remaining 3 units will be done by Rakesh in (3/3) i.e 1 day
∴ Total Time = (54 + 1) = 55 days [Ans]
==========================================================================
137) A, B and C can do a work together in a certain number of days. If A leaves after half the work
is done, then the work takes 4 more days for completion, but if B leaves after half the work is done,
the work takes 5 more days for completion. If A takes 10 more days than B to do the work alone, then
in how many days can C alone do the work?
Solution :
[
Let, Time taken by (A + B + C) to complete the whole work in 't' days
∴ Time taken by (B + C) = (t + 8) days
∴ Time taken by (A + C) = (t + 10) days
ATQ, t(t + 8)/8 - t(t + 10)/10 = 10
⇒5t(t + 8) - 4t(t + 10) = 400
⇒5t² + 40t - 4t² - 40t = 400
⇒t² = 400
[57]
ABIR - 01723856285
⇒t = √400 = 20 days
∴ A takes alone in (20×28)/8 = 70 days
∴ B takes alone in (20×30)/10 = 60 days
∴ Eff of A = 420/70 = 6 units
∴ Eff of B = 420/60 = 7 units
∴ Eff of C = 420/20 - 13 = 8 units
∴ Time taken by C = 420/8 = 52.5 days [Ans]
==========================================================================
138) A and B working together completes a work in 24 days while B and C completes the same work
in 30 days. if C is 20% more efficient than B, then in how many days working alone A will complete
the whole work?
Solution :
[
Here, 24(A + B) = 30(B + C)

⇒(A + B) : (B + C) = 5 : 4 = 55 : 44
And, B : C = 5 : 6 = 20 : 24
Now, A + 2B + C = 99
⇒A + 40 + 24 = 99
⇒A = 35
∴ A : B : C = 35 : 20 : 24
Now 55×24 = 35×D
⇒7D = 11×24
⇒D = 37(5/7) days [Ans]
==========================================================================
139) A is twice efficient as B. A and B together do the same work in as much time as C and D can do
together. If the ratio of the number of alone working days of C to D is 2:3 and if B worked 16 days
more than C then no of days which A worked alone?
Solution :
[
A : B = 2 : 1 = 10 : 5
(A + B) : (C + D) = 1 : 1 = 15 : 15
[58]
ABIR - 01723856285
C:D=3:2=9:6
∴ A : B : C : D = 10 : 5 : 9 : 6 (Efficiency)
∴ A : B : C : D = 18 : 36 : 20 : 30(Time)
∴ A worked alone 18 day [Ans]
==========================================================================
140) A and B can complete a piece of work in 18 and 24 days respectively. They start the work
alternately starting with A and complete half work. After C is also joined them whose efficiency is
25% of A. If A,B and C work alternately then how many days will the work be completed?
Solution :
[
Let, Total work be 72 units (LCM of 18 & 24)

∴ A : B : C = 4 : 3 : 1(Efficiency)
1/2 of 72 = 36 units work can be done by A and B alternately.
7 units can be done in 2 days
∴ 35 units can be done in 10 days
∴ Remaining (36 - 35) i.e 1 unit will be done by A in (1/4) days
∴ Total time for completing half of the work in 10(1/4) days
Now, 8 units can be done in 3 days
∴ 32 units will be done in 12 days
∴ Remaining (36 - 32) i.e 4 units will be done by A in (4/4) i.e 1 days
∴ Total time = 10(1/4) + 13 = 23(1/4) days [Ans]
