Question : 21 [SSC CPO S.I.2005]
A and B together can complete a piece of work in 72 days, B and C together can complete it in 120 days, and A and C together in 90 days. In what time can A alone complete the work ?
a) 150 days
b) 120 days
c) 80 days
d) 100 days
Answer »Answer: (b)
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work = $1/72$
(B + C)’s 1 day’s work = $1/120$
(C + A)’s 1 day’s work = $1/90$
Adding all three,
2(A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work = $1/72 + 1/120 + 1/90$
= ${5 + 3 + 4}/360 = 12/360 = 1/30$
(A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work = $1/60$
Now, A’s 1 day’s work = (A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work - (B + C)’s 1 day’s work
= $1/60 - 1/120 = {2 - 1}/120 = 1/120$
A alone can complete the work in 120 days.
Using Rule 19,
A alone can do in
= ${2 × 72 × 120 × 90}/{72 × 120 + 120 × 90}$ - 72 × 90
= ${2 × 72 × 120 × 90}/{8640 + 10800}$ - 6480
= ${144 × 10800}/12960$ = 120 days
Question : 22 [SSC CPO S.I.2004]
A and B together can do a piece of work in 10 days. A alone can do it in 30 days. The time in which B alone can do it is
a) 20 days
b) 15 days
c) 10 days
d) 12 days
Answer »Answer: (b)
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work = $1/10$
A’s 1 day’s work = $1/30$
B’s 1 day’s work = $1/10 - 1/30$
= ${3 - 1}/30 = 2/30 = 1/15$
Hence, B, alone can complete the work in 15 days.
Using Rule 4If A alone can do a certain work in 'x' days and A and B together can do the same work in 'y' days, then B alone can do the same work in $({xy}/{x - y})$ days.
Time taken by B = ${30 × 10}/{30 - 10}$ = 15 days
Question : 23 [SSC CHSL 2011]
If A and B together can finish a piece of work in 20 days, B and C in 10 days and C and A in 12 days, then A, B, C jointly can finish the same work in
a) $7/60$ days
b) 8$4/7$ days
c) 4$2/7$ days
d) 30 days
Answer »Answer: (b)
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work = $1/20$
(B + C)’s 1 day’s work = $1/10$
(C + A)’s 1 day’s work = $1/12$
On adding all three,
2 (A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work = $1/20 + 1/10 + 1/12$
= ${3 + 6 + 5}/60 = 14/60 = 7/30$
(A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work = $7/60$
Hence, the work will be completed in $60/7 = 8{4}/7$ days.
Using Rule 5,
Time taken = ${2xyz}/{xy + yz + zx}$
= ${2 × 20 × 10 × 12}/{20 × 10 + 10 × 12 + 12 × 20}$
= $4800/{200 + 120 + 240}$
= $4800/560 = 60/7 = 8{4}/7$ days
Question : 24 [SSC DEO 2008]
A and B together can do a piece of work in 5 days and A alone can do it in 8 days. B alone can do the same piece of work in
a) 16$4/5$ days
b) 13$1/3$ days
c) 11$1/3$ days
d) 12$3/5$ days
Answer »Answer: (b)
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work = $1/5$
A’s 1 day’s work = $1/8$
B’s 1 day’s work = $1/5 - 1/8$
= ${8 - 5}/40 = 3/40$
B alone will complete the work in $40/3 = 13{1}/3$ days.
Using Rule 4,
Time taken by B = ${5 × 8}/{8 - 5}$
= $40/3 = 13{1}/3$ days
Question : 25 [SSC MTS 2011]
A and B can do a piece of work in 8 days, B and C can do it in 24 days, while C and A can do it in 8$4/7$ days. In how many days can C do it alone?
a) 10 days
b) 30 days
c) 60 days
d) 40 days
Answer »Answer: (c)
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work = $1/8$
(B + C)’s 1 day’s work = $1/24$
(C + A)’s 1 day’s work = $7/60$
On adding all three,
2 (A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work = $1/8 + 1/24 + 7/60$
= ${15 + 5 + 14}/120 = 34/120$
(A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work = $17/120$
C’s 1 day’s work
= $17/120 - 1/8 = {17 - 15}/120 = 1/60$
C alone will complete the work in 60 days.
Using Rule 19,
C alone can do in= ${2xyz}/{xy - yz + zx}$
= ${2 × 8 × 24 × 60/7}/{8 × 24 - 24 × 60/7 + 60/7 × 8$
= ${23040/7}/{192 - 1440/7 + 480/7}$
= ${23040/7}/{{1344 - 1440 + 480}/7}$
= $23040/7 × 7/384$ = 60 days
