Question : 1

A, B and C are employed to do a piece of work for Rs.575. A and C are supposed to finish $19/23$ of the work together. Amount shall be paid to B is

a) Rs.210

b) Rs.100

c) Rs.475

d) Rs.200

Answer: (b)

Work done by B

= $1 - 19/23 = {23 - 19}/23 = 4/23$

(A + C) : B = $19/23 : 4/23$ = 19 : 4

Sum of ratios = 19 + 4 = 23

B’s share = $4/23 × 575$ = Rs.100

Question : 2

Stanie and Paul take a piece of work for Rs.28,800. One alone could do it in 36 days, the other in 48 days. With the assistance of an expert, they finish it in 12 days. How much remuneration the expert should get ?

a) Rs.10000

b) Rs.18000

c) Rs.12000

d) Rs.16000

Answer: (c)

Expert’s 1 day’s work

= $1/12 - 1/36 - 1/48$

= ${12 - 4 - 3}/144 = 5/144$

Ratio of their respective work for 1 day

= $1/36 : 1/48 : 5/144$ = 4 : 3 : 5

Expert’s share

= $5/12 × 28800$ = 12000

Question : 3

A alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8 days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs.3200. With the help of C they completed the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C ?

a) Rs.375

b) Rs.400

c) Rs.800

d) Rs.600

Answer: (b)

Using Rule 25,

A’s 1 day’s work = $1/6$

B’s 1 day’s work = $1/8$

(A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work = $1/3$

C’s 1day’s work

= $1/3 - 1/6 - 1/8 = {8 - 4 - 3}/24 = 1/24$

Ratio of their one day’s work respectively

= $1/6 : 1/8 : 1/24$ = 4 : 3 : 1

Sum of the ratios = 4 + 3 + 1 = 8

C’s share = Rs.$1/8$ × 3200 = Rs.400

Question : 4

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 : 5

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 : 6

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
