Question : 31 [SSC CGL Prelim 2002]
A can cultivate $2/5$th of a land in 6 days and B can cultivate $1/3$ rd of the same land in 10 days. Working together A and B can cultivate $4/5$th of the land in:
a) 5 days
b) 4 days
c) 10 days
d) 8 days
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 2,
The part of field cultivated by A in 1 day
= $2/{5 × 6} = 1/15$
The part of field cultivated by B in 1 day
= $1/{3 × 10} = 1/30$
The part of field cultivated by A and B together
= $1/15 + 1/30 = 3/30 = 1/10$
$4/5$ part of field cultivated by A and B together in
= ${4/5}/{1/10}$ days = ${4 × 10}/5 = 8$ days
Question : 32 [SSC CGL Tier-II 2017]
P can do $(1/4)$th of work in 10 days, Q can do 40% of work in 40 days and R can do $(1/3)$rd of work in 13 days. Who will complete the work first?
a) Q
b) P
c) Both P and R
d) R
Answer »Answer: (d)
Since, P does $1/4$ th work in 10 days.
P will do 1 work in 10 × 4 = 40 days
Since, Q, does 40% part of work in 40 days
Q will do 100% work in
${40 × 100}/40$ = 100 days
Since, R, does $1/3$ rd work in 13 days.
R will do 1 work in 13 × 3 = 39 days
Question : 33 [SSC CGL Prelim 2002]
A does $4/5$ of a piece of work in 20 days; He then calls in B and they finish the remaining work in 3 days. How long B alone will take to do whole work ?
a) 37 days
b) $37{1}/2$ days
c) 23 days
d) 40 days
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 2,
A can do the whole work in ${20 × 5}/4 = 25$ days
Remaining work = $1 - 4/5 = 1/5$
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work = $1/15$
and A’s 1 day’s work = $1/25$
B’s 1 day’s work
= $1/15 - 1/25 = {5 - 3}/75 = 2/75$
B can finish the work in $75/2$ days
i.e., 37$1/2$ days
Question : 34 [SSC CPO S.I.2005]
A can do $1/2$ of a piece of work in 5 days, B can do $3/5$ of the same work in 9 days and C can do $2/3$ of that work in 8 days. In how many days can three of them together do the work ?
a) 5 days
b) 3 days
c) 4 days
d) 4$1/2$ days
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 3If A can do a work in 'x' days, B can do the same work in 'y' days, C can do the same work in 'z' days then, total time taken by A, B and C to complete the work together = $1/{1/x + 1/y + 1/z} = {xyz}/{xy + yz + zx}$and If workers are more than 3 then total time taken by A, B, C ...... so on to complete the work together = $1/{1/x + 1/y + 1/z + ...}$
A can do $1/2$ work in 5 days.
A can do 1 work in 10 days
Similarly,
B can do 1 work in $5/3$ × 9 = 15 days.
C can do 1 work in 8 × $3/2$ = 12 days.
Now, A’s 1 day’s work = $1/10$
B’s 1 day’s work = $1/15$
C’s 1 day’s work = $1/12$
(A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work = $1/10 + 1/15 + 1/12$
= ${6 + 4 + 5}/60 = 15/60 = 1/4$
Hence, (A + B + C) together can complete the work in 4 days.
Question : 35 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2015]
4 men and 6 women complete a work in 8 days. 2 men and 9 women also complete in 8 days in which. The number of days in which 18 women complete the work is :
a) 5$1/3$ days
b) 4$1/3$ days
c) 5$2/3$ days
d) 4$2/3$ days
Answer »Answer: (a)
According to the question,
(4 × 8) men + (6 × 8) women ≡
(2 × 8) men + (9 × 8) women
4 men + 6 women ≡ 2 men + 9 women
(4 - 2) men ≡ (9 - 6) women
2 men ≡ 3 women
4 men + 6 women ≡ 12 women
$M_1D_1 = M_2D_2$
12 × 8 = 18 × $D_2$
$D_2 = {12 × 8}/18 = 16/3 = 5{1}/3$ days
Using Rule 11,
Here, $A_1$ = 4, $B_1$ = 6, $D_1$ = 8
$A_2$ = 2, $B_2$ = 9, $D_2$ = 8
$A_3$ = 0, $B_3$ = 18
Required time = ${D_1D_2(A_1B_2 - A_2B_1)}/{D_1(A_1B_3 - A_3B_1) - D_2(A_2B_3 - A_3 B_2)}$ days
= ${8 × 8(4 × 9 - 2 × 6)}/{8(4 × 18 - 0 × 6) - 8(2 × 18 - 0 × 9)}$
= ${64 × 24}/{8 × 72 - 36 × 8} = 192/36$
= $16/3 = 5{1}/3$ days
