The following question based on time & work topic of quantitative aptitude

Questions : Two men undertook to do a job for Rs.1400. One of them can do it alone in 7 days, and the other in 8 days. With the assistance of a boy they together completed the work in 3 days. How much money will the boy get ?

(a) Rs.300

(b) Rs.325

(c) Rs.250

(d) Rs.275

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (d)

Using Rule 25,

First man’s 1 day’s work = $1/7$

Second man’s 1 day’s work = $1/8$

Let, Boy’s 1 day’s work = $1/x$

$1/7 + 1/8 + 1/x = 1/3$

$1/x = 1/3 - 1/7 - 1/8$

= ${56 - 24 - 21}/168 = 11/168$

Ratio of their one day’s work

= $1/7 : 1/8 : 11/168$ = 24 : 21 : 11

Sum of the ratios

= 24 + 21 + 11= 56

Boy’s share in wages

= $11/56 × 1400$ = Rs.275

Question : 1

A and B undertake a piece of work for Rs. 250. A alone can do that work in 5 days and B alone can do that work in 15 days. With the help of C, they finish the work in 3 days. If every one gets paid in proportion to work done by them, the amount C will get is :

a) Rs.50

b) Rs.100

c) Rs.200

d) Rs.150

Answer: (a)

Let C alone complete the work in x days.

According to the question,

$1/5 + 1/15 + 1/x = 1/3$

$1/x = 1/3 - 1/5 - 1/15$

= ${5 - 3 - 1}/15 = 1/15$

x = 15 days = Time taken by C alone.

Ratio of the 1 day’s work of A, B and C

= $1/5 : 1/15 : 1/15$ = 3 : 1 : 1

Sum of the terms of ratio

= 3 + 1 + 1 = 5

C’s share

= Rs.$(1/5 × 250)$ = Rs.50

Question : 2

The average wage of 500 workers was found to be Rs.200. Later on, it was discovered that the wages of two workers were misread as 180 and 20 instead of 80 and 220. The correct average wage is :

a) Rs.200.10

b) Rs.200.20

c) Rs.201.00

d) Rs.200.50

Answer: (b)

Total wages of 500 workers

= 500 × 200 = Rs.100000

Now, according to question,

Correct Average

= ${(100000 - 180 - 20 + 80 + 220)}/500$

= $100100/500$ = Rs.200.20

Question : 3

A can do a work in 12 days while B can do it in 15 days. They undertake to complete it together for Rs.450. what will be the share of A in this amount of money ?

a) Rs.200

b) Rs.240

c) Rs.300

d) Rs.250

Answer: (d)

Ratio of A’s and B’s 1 day’s work

= $1/12 : 1/15$ = 15 : 12 = 5 : 4

Sum of the terms of ratio

= 5 + 4 = 9

A’s share

= Rs.$(5/9 × 450)$ = Rs.250

Question : 4

A and B undertook to do a piece of work for Rs.4500. A alone could do it in 8 days and B alone in 12 days. With the assistance of C they finished the work in 4 days. Then C’s share of the money is

a) Rs.2250

b) Rs.1500

c) Rs.375

d) Rs.750

Answer: (d)

Using Rule 25
If A, B and C finish the work in m, n and p days respectively and they receive the total wages R, then the ratio of their wages is $1/m : 1/n : 1/p$

C’s 1 day’s work

= $1/4 - (1/8 + 1/12) = 1/4 - ({3 + 2}/24)$

= $1/4 - 5/24 = {6 - 5}/24 = 1/24$

A : B : C = $1/8 : 1/12 : 1/24$ = 3 : 2 : 1

C’s share = Rs.$(1/6 × 4500)$ = Rs.750

Question : 5

2 men and 1 woman together can complete a piece of work in 14 days, while 4 women and 2 men together can do it in 8 days. If a man gets Rs.600 per day, how much should a woman get per day?

a) Rs.400

b) Rs.450

c) Rs.360

d) Rs.480

Answer: (a)

According to the question,

(2 × 14) men + 14 women

= 16 men + 32 women

(28 - 16) men =(32–14) women

12 men = 18 women

2 men = 3 women

1 woman = $2/3$ man

Amount received by 1 woman per day

= $2/3 × 600$ = Rs.400

Question : 6

A, B and C together earn Rs.150 per day while A and C together earn Rs.94 and B and C together earn Rs.76. The daily earning of ‘C’ is

a) Rs.56

b) Rs.20

c) Rs.75

d) Rs.34

Answer: (b)

The daily earning of ‘C’

= Daily earning of (A + C) and (B + C) - Daily earning of (A + B + C)

= 94 + 76 - 150 = Rs.20
