b) 24 days
c) $180/13$ days

Answer »Answer: (d)
let total work be 360 units
Efficiency of 1 man = $360/\text"12×10"$ = 3 units/day
Efficiency of 1 woman = $360/\text"10×18"$ = 2 units/day
Required time = $360/\text"4×3+6×2"$ = 15 days

Question : 43 [sbi-clerk-prelims-2020]
The ratio of the ages of Ram and Rahim 10 years ago was 1 : 3. The ratio of their ages five years hence will be 2 : 3. Then, the ratio of their present ages is :
a) 1 : 2
b) 3 : 5
c) 3 : 4
d) 2 : 5
e) None of these
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let 10 years ago, ages of Ram and Rahim were x years and 3x years, respectively.
Then, present age of Ram = (x + 10)
and present age of Rahim = (3x + 10)
According to the question,
$\text"x+10+5"/\text"3x+10+5" = 2/3$
⇒ 3x + 45 = 6x + 30
⇒ 3x = 15
∴ x = 5
Hence, required ratio = $\text"5+10"/\text"3×5+10"$
= $15/25$
= 3 : 5

= $\text"260×18"/\text"52×5"$
= 18 sec
