The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1,
200 workers do $1/4$ work in 50 days.
How many workers will do $3/4$ work in 100 days ?
Number of additional workers = x (let)
${M_1D_1}/W_1 = {M_2D_2}/W_2$
${200 × 50}/{1/4} = {(200 + x) × 100}/{3/4}$
(200 + x) 100 = 3 × 200 × 50
200 + x = 300
x = 300 - 200 = 100

Question : 1
A can complete a work in 6 days while B can complete the same work in 12 days. If they work together and complete it, the portion of the work done by A is
a) $2/3$
b) $1/3$
c) $1/2$
d) $1/4$
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 2,
Time taken by A and B
= ${6 × 12}/{6 + 12} = {6 × 12}/18 = 4$
Work done by A in 4 days = $4/6 = 2/3$
Question : 2
A alone can do a piece of work in 20 days and B alone in 30 days. They begin to work together. They will finish half of the work in :
a) 9 days
b) 8 days
c) 6 days
d) 12 days
Answer »Answer: (c)
(A+B)’s 1 day’s work
= $1/20 + 1/30 = {3 + 2}/60 = 1/12$
Work done in 6 days = $6/12 = 1/2$
Using Rule 2,
Here, x = 20, y = 30
They do the work in = ${xy}/{x + y}$ days
= ${20 × 30}/{20 + 30}$ = 12 days
Half of the work they do in 6 days
Question : 3
If 28 men complete $7/8$ of a piece of work in a week, then the number of men, who must be engaged to get the remaining work completed in another week, is
a) 6
b) 5
c) 3
d) 4
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule1,
Work | Days | Men |
$7/8$ | 7 | 28 |
↓ | ↓ | ↓ |
$1/8$ | 7 | x |
$7/8 : 1 8 : : 28 : x$
where x is no. of men
$7/8 × x = 1/8 × 28$
$x = {28 × 8}/{7 × 8}$ = 4
Question : 4
A does $7/10$ part of work in 15 days. After that he completes the remaining work in 4 days with the help of B. In how many days will A and B together do the same work ?
a) 12$2/3$ days
b) 10$1/3$ days
c) 8$1/4$ days
d) 13$1/3$ days
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 2,
Remaining work = $1 - 7/10 = 3/10$
(A + B) take 4 days to do $3/10$ work
(A + B) will do the work in $4 × 10/3$ days
= $40/3 =13{1}/3$ days
Question : 5
Two workers A and B are engaged to do a piece of work. A working alone would take 8 hours more to complete the work than when work together. If B worked alone, would take 4$1/2$ hours more than when work together. The time required to finish the work together is
a) 4 hours
b) 5 hours
c) 6 hours
d) 8 hours
Answer »Answer: (c)
Time taken by A and B = x hours (let).
According to the question,
Time taken by A alone
= (x + 8) hours.
Time taken by B alone
= $(x + 9/2)$ hours.
$1/{x + 8} + 1/{x + {9/2}} = 1/x$
$1/{x + 8} + 2/{2x + 9} =1/x$
${2x + 9 + 2x + 16}/{(x + 8)(2x + 9)} = 1/x$
${4x + 25}/{2x^2 + 16x + 9x + 72} = 1/x$
$4x^2 + 25x = 2x^2 + 25x + 72$
$2x^2 = 72 ⇒ x^2 = 72/2 = 36$
x = $√{36}$ = 6 hours
Question : 6
Janardan completes $2/3$ of his work in 10 days. Time he will take to complete $3/5$ of the same work, is
a) 6 days
b) 8 days
c) 4 days
d) 9 days
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 1,
${M_1D_1}/W_1= {M_2D_2}/W_2$
$10/{2/3} = D_2/{3/5}$
$30/2 = {5D_2}/3$
$D_2 = 30/2 × 3/5$ = 9 days
