Solutions
PRACTISE SESSION
TOPIC : Time and Work - Set 1
1.(a) : P’s 1 days work = 1/10, Q’s 1 days work = 1/15
They are working in alternative days. So, (P + Q)’s two days work = (1/10 + 1/15) = 1/6
Number of days to finish the work = (2 x 1)/ 1/6 = 12
2.(c) : Amount of work P can do in 1 day = 1/20 Amount of work Q can do in 1 day = 1/30
Amount of work R can do in 1 day = 1/60
P is working alone and every third day Q and R is helping him
Work completed in every three days = 2 × (1/20) + (1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60) = 1/5
So work completed in 15 days
3.(b) : Work done by A in 20 days = 80/100 = 8/10 = 4/5
Work done by A in 1 day = (4/5) / 20 = 4/100 = 1/25 --- (1)
Work done by A and B in 3 days = 20/100 = 1/5
(Because remaining 20% is done in 3 days by A and B)
Work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/15 ---(2)
Work done by B in 1 day = 1/15 – 1/25 = 2/75
=> B can complete the work in 75/2 days = 37 ½ days
6 men = 12 women ⇒ 1 man = 2 women
4.(d) :
48 men = (12/6) x 48 = 96 women
Total women = 96 + 32 = 128
12 women can do a piece of work in 32 days
128 women can do a piece of work = (32 x 12)/128 = 3 day
5.(c) :
Work done by Kamal in 1 day = 1/20
Work done by Suresh in 1 day = (1/20) × (125/100) = 5/80 = 1/16
=> Suresh can complete the work in 16 days
6.(a) :
2 men can do in 4 days
4 women can do in 4 days
5 children can do in 4 days
2m = 4w =5c can do in
So 2men and 4 women and 10 children complete the work
Efficiency of children and women convert in man = (2m + 2m +4m) = 8m
4 men complete the work is = 2 days
8 men complete the work is = 1 days
7.(c) :
Work done by C in one day = 1/7
Work done by B in one day = 1/2 * 1/7 = 1/14
Work done by A in one day = 1/2 *1/14 = 1/28
Work done by A, B and C in one day = 7/28 = 1/4
8.(b):
A takes 1/3 of the time taken by B.
A takes 2/3 less time than B.
2/3 (time by B) = 10 days
Time taken by B = (3 x 10)/2 = 15 days
9.(c):
10.(d) : A can do work in 9 days
B can do work in 18 days
so ,
that's means A's efficiency 2 unit / days
B 's efficiency 1 unit / day
According to the questions B left the job 3 days before completion of work.
that's means A alone do the work last 3 days = 2 unit x 3 days = 6 unit
So left unit is 18 - 6 = 12 done by both A and B in 4 days
Total days = 3 + 4 = 7
[Link] : Option A
Amount of work P can do in 1 day = 1/15
Amount of work Q can do in 1 day = 1/20
Amount of work P and Q can do in 1 day = 1/15 + 1/20 = 7/60
PRACTISE SESSION
TOPIC : Time and Work - Set 1
Amount of work P and Q can together do in 4 days = 4 × (7/60) = 7/15
Fraction of work left = 1 – 7/15= 8/15
12. Answer : Option A
Amount of work P can do in 1 day = 1/16
Amount of work Q can do in 1 day = 1/12
Amount of work P, Q and R can together do in 1 day = 1/4
Amount of work R can do in 1 day = 1/4 - (1/16 + 1/12) = 3/16 – 1/12 = 5/48
=> Hence R can do the job on 48/5 days = 9 (3/5) days
13. Answer : Option C
Amount of work P can do in 1 day = 1/20
Amount of work Q can do in 1 day = 1/30
Amount of work R can do in 1 day = 1/60
P is working alone and every third day Q and R is helping him
Work completed in every three days = 2 × (1/20) + (1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60) = 1/5
So work completed in 15 days = 5 × 1/5 = 1
i.e, the work will be done in 15 days
14. Answer : Option B
If A completes a work in 1 day, B completes the same work in 3 days
Hence, if the difference is 2 days, B can complete the work in 3 days
=> if the difference is 60 days, B can complete the work in 90 days
=> Amount of work B can do in 1 day= 1/90
Amount of work A can do in 1 day = 3 × (1/90) = 1/30
Amount of work A and B can together do in 1 day = 1/90 + 1/30 = 4/90 = 2/45
=> A and B together can do the work in 45/2 days = 22 ½ days
15. Answer : Option D
Amount of work A can do in 1 day = 1/6
Amount of work B can do in 1 day = 1/8
Amount of work A + B can do in 1 day = 1/6 + 1/8 = 7/24
Amount of work A + B + C can do = 1/3
Amount of work C can do in 1 day = 1/3 - 7/24 = 1/24
work A can do in 1 day: work B can do in 1 day: work C can do in 1 day
= 1/6 : 1/8 : 1/24 = 4 : 3 : 1
Amount to be paid to C = 3200 × (1/8) = 400
16. Answer : Option A
Let work done by 1 man in 1 day = m and work done by 1 woman in 1 day = b
Work done by 6 men and 8 women in 1 day = 1/10
=> 6m + 8b = 1/10
=> 60m + 80b = 1 --- (1)
Work done by 26 men and 48 women in 1 day = 1/2
=> 26m + 48b = ½
=> 52m + 96b = 1--- (2)
Solving equation 1 and equation 2. We get m = 1/100 and b = 1/200
Work done by 15 men and 20 women in 1 day
= 15/100 + 20/200 =1/4
=> Time taken by 15 men and 20 women in doing the work = 4 days
17. Answer : Option A
Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/4
Work done by B and C in 1 hour = 1/3
Work done by A and C in 1 hour = 1/2
Work done by A,B and C in 1 hour = 1/4+1/3 = 7/12
Work done by B in 1 hour = 7/12 – 1/2 = 1/12 => B alone can complete the work in 12 hours
18. Answer : Option B
Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/10
Work done by R in 1 day = 1/50
Work done by P, Q and R in 1 day = 1/10 + 1/50 = 6/50
But Work done by P in 1 day = Work done by Q and R in 1 day . Hence the above equation can be written as
Work done by P in 1 day × 2 = 6/50
=> Work done by P in 1 day = 3/50
=> Work done by Q and R in 1 day = 3/50
Hence work done by Q in 1 day = 3/50 – 1/50 = 2/50 = 1/25
So Q alone can do the work in 25 days
19. Answer : Option A
Work done by A in 20 days = 80/100 = 8/10 = 4/5
Work done by A in 1 day = (4/5) / 20 = 4/100 = 1/25 --- (1)
PRACTISE SESSION
TOPIC : Time and Work - Set 1
Work done by A and B in 3 days = 20/100 = 1/5 (Because remaining 20% is done in 3 days by A and B)
Work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/15 ---(2)
Work done by B in 1 day = 1/15 – 1/25 = 2/75
=> B can complete the work in 75/2 days = 37 ½ days
20. Answer : Option C
Work done by P in 1 hour = 1/8
Work done by Q in 1 hour = 1/10
Work done by R in 1 hour = 1/12
Work done by P,Q and R in 1 hour = 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/12 = 37/120
Work done by Q and R in 1 hour = 1/10 + 1/12 = 22/120 = 11/60
From 9 am to 11 am, all the machines were operating.
i.e, they all operated for 2 hours and work completed = 2 × (37/120) = 37/60
Pending work = 1- 37/60 = 23/60
Hours taken by Q an R to complete the pending work = (23/60) / (11/60) = 23/11
which is approximately equal to 2
Hence the work will be completed approximately 2 hours after 11 am ; ie around 1 pm
21. Answer : Option D
Work done by P in 1 day = 1/18
Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/15
Work done by Q in 10 days = 10/15 = 2/3
Remaining work = 1 – 2/3 = 1/3
Number of days in which P can finish the remaining work = (1/3) / (1/18) = 6
22. Answer : Option B
Work done by 4 men and 6 women in 1 day = 1/8
Work done by 3 men and 7 women in 1 day = 1/10
Let 1 man does m work in 1 day and 1 woman does w work in 1 day. The above equations can be written as
4m + 6w = 1/8 ---(1)
3m + 7w = 1/10 ---(2)
Solving equation (1) and (2) , we get m=11/400 and w=1/400
Amount of work 10 women can do in a day = 10 × (1/400) = 1/40
i.e, 10 women can complete the work in 40 days
23. Answer : Option A
Amount of work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/30
Amount of work done by A and B in 20 days = 20 × (1/30) = 20/30 = 2/3
Remaining work – 1 – 2/3 = 1/3
A completes 1/3 work in 20 days
Amount of work A can do in 1 day = (1/3)/20 = 1/60
=> A can complete the work in 60 days
24. Answer : Option A
A can complete the work in 12 days working 8 hours a day
=> Number of hours A can complete the work = 12×8 = 96 hours
=> Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/96
B can complete the work in 8 days working 10 hours a day
=> Number of hours B can complete the work = 8×10 = 80 hours
=> Work done by B in 1 hour = 1/80
Work done by A and B in 1 hour = 1/96 + 1/80 = 11/480
=> A and B can complete the work in 480/11 hours
A and B works 8 hours a day
Hence total days to complete the work with A and B working together
= (480/11)/ (8) = 60/11 days = 5 5⁄11 days
25. Answer : Option C
Work done by P in 1 day = 1/23
Let work done by Q in 1 day = q
q × (130/100) = 1/23
=> q = 100/(23×130) = 10/(23×13)
Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/23 + 10/(23×13) = 23/(23×13)= 1/13
=> P and Q together can do the work in 13 days
26. Answer : Option B
Work done by P in 1 day = 1/24
Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/6
Work done by R in 1 day = 1/12
Work done by P,Q and R in 1 day = 1/24 + 1/6 + 1/12 = 7/24
=> Working together, they will complete the work in 24/7 days = 3 3⁄7 days
27. Answer : Option C
PRACTISE SESSION
TOPIC : Time and Work - Set 1
Work done by 10 men in 1 day = 1/7
Work done by 1 man in 1 day = (1/7)/10 = 1/70
Work done by 10 women in 1 day = 1/14
Work done by 1 woman in 1 day = 1/140
Work done by 5 men and 10 women in 1 day = 5 × (1/70) + 10 × (1/140)
= 5/70 + 10/140 = 1/7
=> 5 men and 10 women can complete the work in 7 days
28. Answer : Option B
Work done by Kamal in 1 day = 1/20
Work done by Suresh in 1 day = (1/20) × (125/100) = 5/80 = 1/16
=> Suresh can complete the work in 16 days
29. Answer : Option C
Pages typed by Anil in 1 hour = 32/6 = 16/3
Pages typed by Suresh in 1 hour = 40/5 = 8
Pages typed by Anil and Suresh in 1 hour = 16/3 + 8 = 40/3
Time taken to type 110 pages when Anil and Suresh work together = 110 × 3 /40 = 33/4
= 8 ¼ hours = 8 hour 15 minutes
30. Answer : Option B
Work done by P in 1 day = 1/20
Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/12
Work done by P in 4 days = 4 × (1/20) = 1/5
Remaining work = 1 – 1/5 = 4/5
Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/20 + 1/12 = 8/60 = 2/15
Number of days P and Q take to complete the remaining work = (4/5) / (2/15) = 6
Total days = 4 + 6 = 10
31. Answer : Option C
Let P takes x days to complete the work
Then Q takes x/2 days and R takes x/3 days to finish the work
Amount of work P does in 1 day = 1/x
Amount of work Q does in 1 day = 2/x
Amount of work R does in 1 day = 3/x
Amount of work P,Q and R do in 1 day = 1/x + 2/x + 3/x = 1/x (1 + 2 + 3) = 6/x
6/x = 2
=> x = 12
=> Q takes 12/2 days = 6 days to complete the work
32. Answer : Option A
Work done by P in 1 day = 1/15
Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/10
Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/15 + 1/10 = 1/6
Work done by P and Q in 2 days = 2 × (1/6) = 1/3
Remaining work = 1 – 1/3 = 2/3
Time taken by P to complete the remaining work 2/3 = (2/3) / (1/15) = 10 days
Total time taken = 2 + 10 = 12 days
33. Answer : Option C
Let work done by P in 1 day = p,
Work done by Q in 1 day = q,
Work done by R in 1 day = r
p + q = 1/30
q + r = 1/24
r + p = 1/20
Adding all the above, 2p + 2q + 2r = 1/30 + 1/24+ 1/20 = 15/120 = 1/8
=> p + q + r = 1/16
=> Work done by P,Q and R in 1 day = 1/16
Work done by P, Q and R in 10 days = 10 × (1/16) = 10/16 = 5/8
Remaining work = 1 = 5/8 = 3/8
Work done by P in 1 day = Work done by P,Q and R in 1 day - Work done by Q and R in 1 day
= 1/16 – 1/24 = 1/48
Number of days P needs to work to complete the remaining work = (3/8) / (1/48) = 18
34. Answer : Option D
Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/12
Work done by P in 1 day = 2 × (1/12) = 1/6
Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/12 + 1/6 = ¼
=> P and Q can finish the work in 4 days
35. Answer : Option B
PRACTISE SESSION
TOPIC : Time and Work - Set 1
Work done by 20 women in 1 day = 1/16
Work done by 1 woman in 1 day = 1/(16×20)
Work done by 16 men in 1 day = 1/15
Work done by 1 man in 1 day = 1/(15×16)
Ratio of the capacity of a man and woman =1/(15×16) : 1/(16×20) = 1/15 : 1/20
= 1/3 :1/4 = 4:3
36. Answer : Option B
Let work done by P in 1 day = p
work done by Q in 1 day =q
Work done by R in 1 day = r
p + q = 1/8 ---(1)
q + r= 1/12 ---(2)
p+ q+ r = 1/6 ---(3)
(3) – (2) => p = 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/12
(3) – (1) => r = 1/6 – 1/8 = 1/24
p + r = 1/12 + 1/24 = 3/24 = 1/8
=> P and R will finish the work in 8 days
37. Answer : Option D
Work done by P in 1 day = 1/24
Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/9
Work done by R in 1 day = 1/12
Work done by Q and R in 1 day = 1/9 + 1/12 = 7/36
Work done by Q and R in 3 days = 3×7/36 = 7/12
Remaining work = 1 – 7/12 = 5/12
Number of days in which P can finish the remaining work = (5/12) / (1/24) = 10
38. Answer : Option C
Wages of 1 woman for 1 day = 21600/(40×30)
Wages of 1 man for 1 day = 21600×2/(40×30)
Wages of 1 man for 25 days = 21600×2×25/(40×30)
Number of men = 14400(21600×2×25/(40×30))=144(216×50/(40×30))=144/9=16
39. Answer : Option B
Amount Earned by P,Q and R in 1 day = 1620/9 = 180 ---(1)
Amount Earned by P and R in 1 day = 600/5 = 120 ---(2)
Amount Earned by Q and R in 1 day = 910/7 = 130 ---(3)
(2)+(3)-(1) => Amount Earned by P , Q and 2R in 1 day
- Amount Earned by P,Q and R in 1 day = 120+130-180 = 70
=>Amount Earned by R in 1 day = 70
40. Answer : Option A
Assume that cost of keeping a cow for 1 day = c ,
cost of keeping a goat for 1 day = g
Cost of keeping 20 cows and 40 goats for 10 days = 460
Cost of keeping 20 cows and 40 goats for 1 day = 460/10 = 46
=> 20c + 40g = 46
=> 10c + 20g = 23 ---(1)
Given that 5g = c
Hence equation (1) can be written as 10c + 4c = 23 => 14c =23
=> c=23/14
cost of keeping 50 cows and 30 goats for 1 day
= 50c + 30g
= 50c + 6c (substituted 5g = c)
= 56 c = 56×23/14
= 92
Cost of keeping 50 cows and 30 goats for 12 days = 12×92 = 1104
