Solutions
1. Pipe A can fill the tank in 80 minutes and pipe B in 120 minutes. After how much time both the pipe
can together fill the tank ?
(a) 48 minutes (b) 32 minutes (c) 51 minutes (d) 27 minutes
Ans: (a)
1
Sol: The part of tank filled by pipe A in 1 min =
80
1
The part of tank filled by pipe B in 1 min =
120
The part of tank filled by both the pipes A and B in 1 min
1 1 3 +2 5 1
= + = = =
80 120 240 240 48
Both the pipes can together fill the tank in 48 minutes.
2. There are two taps A and B to fill up a water tank. The tank can be filled in 40 minutes, if both taps
are on. The same tank can be filled in 60 minutes, if tap A alone is on. How much time will tap B
alone take, to fill up the same tank ?
(a) 64 minutes (b) 80 minutes (c) 96 minutes (d) 120 minutes
2 MARKER - 1 4
Ans: (d)
Sol: Given, time taken by tap A to fill the tank = 60 minutes
Let time taken by tap B to fill the tank = x minutes
1 1 1
then, + =
60 x 40
1 1 1
= −
x 40 60
3 −2 1
= =
120 120
1 1
= x = 120 mins
x 120
Hence, B alone can fill the tank in 120 minutes.
3. A pipe can fill a tank in 10 hrs, while an another pipe can empty it in 6 hrs. Find the time taken to
empty the tank, when both the pipes are opened simultaneously.
(a) 11 hrs (b) 15 hrs (c) 18 hrs (d) 16 hrs
Ans: (b)
1
Sol: The part of tank filled by A in 1 hr =
10
1
The part of tank emptied by B in 1 hr =
6
1 1 6 − 10 − 4 1
The work done by both the pipe together in 1 hr = − = = = −
10 6 6 10 60 15
Since, it is negative, it means tank will be emptied in 15 hrs.
4. Inlet A is four times faster than inlet B to fill a tank. If A alone can fill it in 15 minutes, how long will
it take if both the pipes are opened together?
(a) 10 minutes (b) 12 minutes (c) 15 minutes (d) 14 minutes
Ans: (b)
Sol: Let 4x be the time taken to fill the tank by inlet B.
Then, x will be the time taken to fill tank by inlet A.
x = 15 mins
Also, time taken by B is 4 x = 4 15 = 60 min
The part of tank filled by A and B together in 1 minute
1 1 4 + 1 5 1
= + = = =
15 60 60 60 12
The time taken by both the pipe to fill the tank is 12 minutes.

5. A can do a work in 15 days and B in 20 days. If they together work on it for 4 days, then the fraction
of the work that is left is __________.
8 7 1 1
(a) (b) (c) (d)
15 15 4 10
Ans: (a)
1
Sol: The work done by A in one day =
15
1
The work done by B in one day =
20
7 7
The work done by A + B in 4 days = 4 =
60 15
7
Since, part of work is completed. Therefore,
15
7 8
Fraction of work left = 1 − =
15 15
6. A can do a piece of work in 12 days and B in 15 days. They work together for 5 days and then B left.
The days taken by A to finish the remaining work is _______ .
(a) 3 (b) 5 (c) 10 (d) 12
Ans: (a)
1
Sol: The work done by A in one day =
12
1
The work done by B in one day =
15
1 1
The work done by A and B together in one day = +
12 15
5 + 4 9 3
= = =
60 60 20
15
The work done by A and B together in 5 days =
20
15 20 − 15 5 1
So, the remaining work = 1 − = = =
20 20 20 4
1 1
Time taken by A to complete part of work = 12 = 3 days

7. Two taps P and Q can fill a water tank respectively in 12 mins and 15 mins. They are opened
together but after 3 mins P is closed. How much more time will Q take to fill the tank?
2 MARKER - 1 6
1 1
(a) 7 mins (b) 7 mins (c) 8 mins (d) 8 mins
2 4
Ans: (d)
1
Sol: The part of tank filled by P in 1 min =
12
1
The part of tank filled by Q in 1 min =
15
1 1 5 + 4 9 3
The part of tank filled by both P and Q in 1 min = + = = =
12 15 60 60 20
3 9
The part of tank filled by both P and Q in 3 mins = 3 =
20 20
9 11
Now, Remaining part of tank = 1 − =
20 20
11
part of tank filled by Q alone.

11 11
Time taken to fill part of tank = 15

8. Pipe A can fill a tank in 30 min, while pipe B can fill the same tank in 10 min and pipe C can empty
the full tank in 40 min. If all the pipes are opened together, how much time will be needed to make
the tank full?
3 4 7 9
(a) 9 minutes (b) 9 minutes (c) 9 minutes (d) 9 minutes
13 13 13 13
Ans: (a)
1
Sol: The part of tank filled by A in 1 min =
30
1
The part of tank filled by B in 1 min =
10
1
The part of tank filled by C in 1 min =
40
1 1 1 4 + 12 − 3 13
The part of tank filled by them together in 1 min = + − = =
30 10 40 120 120
120 3
Required time = = 9 minutes

9. If 3 men or 6 women can do a piece of work in 16 days, in how many days can 12 men and 8 women
do the same piece of work?
(a) 4 days (b) 5 days (c) 3 days (d) 2 days
Ans: (c)
Sol: We have,
3m = 6 w
1m = 2 w
Now, 12 m + 8 w = (12 2 w ) + 8w = 32 w
6 w can do the work in 16 days.
1w will do the work in 16 6 days.
16 6
32 w can do the work in = 3 days .
32
Hence, 12 men and 8 women will do the same piece of work in 3 days.
10. Satish, Goel, and Khan can do a particular job in 24, 36, and 48 days, respectively. If they start
working together and are paid ₹ 5200 for their work, then find their individual share.
(a) ₹1150 (b) ₹1200 (c) ₹1100 (d) ₹1050
Ans: (b)
1
Sol: The work done by Satish in 1 day =
24
1
The work done by Goel in 1 day =
36
1
The work done by Khan in 1 day =
48
Ratio of work done per day
1 1 1
= : :
24 36 48
1 1 1
= 144 : 144 : 144
24 36 48
= 6 : 4 : 3
3
Now, share of Khan = 5200
( 6 + 4 + 3)
= 3 400 = 1200
Hence, the share of Khan is ₹1200.
