Question : 1
A does half as much work as B in one sixth of the time. If together they take 10 days to complete a work, how much time shall B take to do it alone?
a) 50 days
b) 70 days
c) 30 days
d) 40 days
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let B does the whole work in x days
Work done by B in 1 day = $1/x$
According to question
A does the $1/2$ work in $x/6$ days
A does the whole work in ${2x}/6 or = x/3$ days
Work done by A in one day = $3/x$
Work done by A and B together in one day
= $1/x + 3/x = 4/x$
Time taken to complete the whole work by A and B together
= $1/{4/x} = x/4$ days
Again, given that $x/4$ = 10 ∴ x = 40 days
Using Rule 22The efficiency of A to work is 'n' times more than that of B, Both start to work together and finish it in 'D' days. Then, A and B will separately complete, the work in $({n + 1}/n)$D and (n + 1) D days respectively.
Here, n = 3, d = 10
A is 3 times more efficient thanB.
Time taken by B = (n + 1) × D
= (3 + 1) × 10 = 40 days
Question : 2
To do a certain work, B would take time thrice as long as A and C together and C twice as long as A and B together. The three men together complete the work in 10 days. The time taken by A to complete the work separately is
a) 20 days
b) 22 days
c) 24 days
d) 30 days
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 2 and 3,
If B does the work in 3x days,
(A + C) will do the same work in x days.
If C does that work in 2y days.
(A + B) will do it in y days.
$1/x + 1/{3x} = 1/10$
$4/{3x} = 1/10$
$3x = 40 ⇒ x = 40/3$
Again, $1/y + 1/{2y} = 1/10$
$3/{2y} = 1/10 ⇒ y = 15$
(A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work = $1/10$
$1/A + 1/40 + 1/30 = 1/10$
$1/A = 1/10 - 1/40 - 1/30$
= ${12 - 3 - 4}/120 = 5/120 = 1/24$
A alone will complete the work in 24 days.
Question : 3
A is twice as good a workman as B and together they finish a piece of work in 14 days. The number of days taken by A alone to finish the work is
a) 42 days
b) 11 days
c) 21 days
d) 28 days
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 2,
If A completes the work in x days, B will take 2x days.
$1/x + 1/{2x} = 1/14 ⇒ {2 + 1}/{2x} = 1/14$
2x = 42 ⇒ x = 21 days
Question : 4
Tapas works twice as fast as Mihir. If both of them together complete a work in 12 days, Tapas alone can complete it in
a) 24 days
b) 15 days
c) 18 days
d) 20 days
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 2,
If Tapas alone takes x days to complete the work, then
$1/x + 1/{2x} = 1/12$
${2 + 1}/{2x} = 1/12$
$2x = 36 ⇒ x = 18$ days
Question : 5
A can do a work in 9 days, if B is 50% more efficient than A, then in how many days can B do the same work?
a) 3 days
b) 13.5 days
c) 4.5 days
d) 6 days
Answer »Answer: (d)
Time taken by B = $9 × 100/150$ = 6 days
Using Rule 17,
Here, x = 9, R = 50%
Time taken by B = $x × 100/{100 + R}$ days
= $9 × 100/150$ = 6 days
