Question : 1
If A and B together can complete a piece of work in 15 days and B alone in 20 days, in how many days can A alone complete the work ?
a) 30 days
b) 40 days
c) 60 days
d) 45 days
Answer »Answer: (c)
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work = $1/15$
B’s 1 day’s work = $1/20$
A’s 1 day’s work = $1/15 - 1/20 = {4 - 3}/60 = 1/60$
A alone will do the work in 60 days.
Using Rule 4,
A alone do in = ${15 × 20}/{20 - 15}$
= ${15 × 20}/5$ = 60 days
Question : 2
If A and B together can complete a work in 12 days, B and C together in 15 days and C and A together in 20 days, then B alone can complete the work in
a) 20 days
b) 24 days
c) 30 days
d) 25 days
Answer »Answer: (a)
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work = $1/12$
(B + C)’s 1 day’s work = $1/15$
(C + A)’s 1 day’s work = $1/20$
On adding,
2 (A + B + C)’s 1 day's work = $1/12 + 1/15 + 1/20$
= ${5 + 4 + 3}/60 = 1/5$
(A+B+C)’s 1 day’s work = $1/10$
B’s 1 day’s work = $1/10 - 1/20 = {2 - 1}/20 = 1/20$
B alone can do the work in 20 days.
Using Rule 19,
B alone can do in = ${2 × 12 × 15 × 20}/{-12 × 15 + 15 × 20 + 20 × 12}$
= ${24 × 300}/{-180 + 300 + 240} = {24 × 300}/360$ = 20 days
Question : 3
A and B can do a piece of work in 12 days, B and C in 8 days and C and A in 6 days. How long would B take to do the same work alone ?
a) 48 days
b) 40 days
c) 24 days
d) 32 days
Answer »Answer: (a)
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = $1/12$ ...(i)
(B + C)'s 1 day's work = $1/8$ ...(ii)
(C + A)'s 1 day's work = $1/6$ ...(iii)
On adding,
2(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = $1/12 + 1/8 + 1/6$
= ${2 + 3 + 4}/24 = 9/24$
(A+ B + C)'s 1 day’s work = $9/{24 × 2} = 9/48$ ...(iv)
On, subtracting (iii) from (iv),
B’s 1 day’s work = $9/48 - 1/6$
= ${9 - 8}/48 = 1/48$
B can complete the work in 48 days.
Using Rule 19,
B alone can do in = ${2 × 12 × 8 × 6}/{-12 × 8 + 8 × 6 + 6 × 12}$
= ${24 × 48}/{-96 + 48 + 72} = {24 × 48}/{-96 + 120}$
= ${24 × 48}/24$ = 48 days
