A, B and C working together take 30 min to address a pile of envelopes. A and B together take 40 min, A and C together take 45 min. how long would each take working alone ?
Answera)A : 72 min, B : 90 min, C : 120 min b)A : 42 min, B : 90 min, C : 120 min c)A : 72 min, B : 90 min, C : 100 min d)A : 72 min, B : 80 min, C : 120 min Answer & ExplanationAnswer : Option a
Explanation :Here 1/A + 1/B + 1/C = 1/30 ... (i)
1/A + 1/B = 1/40 .... (ii)
and 1/A + 1/C = 1/45 .... (iii)From (i) and (ii)
1/C = 1/30 - 1/40 = 1/120
1/A = 1/45 - 1/C = 1/45 - 1/120 = 1/72
1/B = 1/40 - 1/A = 1/40 - 1/72 = 1/90So A alone will address in 72 min, B alone will address in 90 min, and C alone will address in 120 min.

24 men completes a given job in 40 days. The number of men required to complete the job in 32 days is :
Answera)32 men b)30 men c)35 men d)36 men Answer & ExplanationAnswer : Option b
Explanation :Here indirect proportion so less days, more men
Let the number of required men to complete the work be x
Therefore, 32 : 40 : : 24 : x32/40 = 24/x
=> x = (24 x 40)/32 = 30 -

If the work done by (x – 1)men in (x + 1) days is to the work done by (x + 2) men in (x – 1) days are in ratio 9 : 10, then x is equal to :
Answera)5 b)6 c)8 d)7 Answer & ExplanationAnswer : Option c
Explanation :Let the work by (x - 1) men in (x + 1) day = 9z
Then work done by 1 man in one day = [9z/(x - 1) * 1/(x + 1)]
Let the work done by (x + 2) men in (x - 1) days = 10z,
Therefore, Work done by 1 man in 1 day = [10z/(x + 2)(x - 1)]
Therefore, [9z/(x - 1)(x + 1)] = [10z/(x + 2)(x - 1)]
=> 9(x + 2) = 10(x + 1)
=> x = 8 -

Answera)300 sq. metre b)120 sq. metre c)240 sq. metre d)180 sq. metre Answer & ExplanationAnswer : Option b
Explanation :Let 'a' be the area to be plastered.
Here the work completed on the first day = x/2 m2
The work completed on the second day = 1/4 * x/2 = x/8
Therefore, x - x/2 - x/8 = 45
Therefore x = 120 m2 -

Answera)Rs. 600, Rs. 525, Rs. 275 b)Rs. 550, Rs. 500, Rs. 350 c)Rs. 650, Rs. 470, Rs. 280 d)None of the above Answer & ExplanationAnswer : Option a
Explanation :Let the boy completes the work in x days, thus according to the condition
1/7 + 1/8 + 1/x = 1/3
or 1/x = 1/3 - 1/7 - 1/8 = 11/168
so x = 168/11 daysSo money is to shared in the ratio
1/7 : 1/8 : 11/168 or 24 : 21 : 11Thus A's amount = 24/56 x 1400 = Rs. 600
B's amount = 21/56 x 1400 = Rs. 525
Boy's amount = 11/56 x 1400 = Rs. 275 -

An amount is sufficient to pay A’s wages for 21 days and B’s wages for 28 days. The amount is sufficient to pay wages to both for :
Answera)22 days b)26 days c)24.5 days d)12 days Answer & ExplanationAnswer : Option d
Explanation :Let the total amount be x
Here A's one day's wage = x/21
B's one day's wage = x/28
therefore, A's and B's wages = x/21 + x/28 = x/12
Therefore, the amount is sufficient to pay 12 days wages to both

Two pipes A and B can separately fill a tank in 12 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. Both the pipes are opened together. But 4 minutes after the start pipe A is turned of. How much time it will take to fill the tank ?
Answera)11 minute b)6 minute c)12 minute d)8 minute Answer & ExplanationAnswer : Option b
Explanation :Part of tank filled by A in a minute = 1/12
Part of tank filled by B in a minute = 1/15
Therefore, total part filled in a minute = 1/12 + 1/15 = 3/20
Therefore, part filled in 4 minutes = (4 x 3)/20 = 3/5
Now remaining part = 1 - 3/5 = 2/5
Therefore, greater part, more time
1/15 : 2/5 : : 1 : x
=> x/15 = 2/5
=> x = 6 min -

Answera)10 days b)20 days c)5 days d)15 days Answer & ExplanationAnswer : Option c
Explanation :Let the number of days be x.
Here efficiency is 2 : 1

9 men finish one third work in 10 days. The number of additional men required for finishing the remaining work in 2 more days will be :
Answera)78 b)81 c)55 d)30 Answer & ExplanationAnswer : Option b
Explanation :Time taken by 9 men to finish the job = 30 days
Remaining job = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3
More work left so more men required (direct proportion)
[less days, more men (indirect proportion)]Work 1/3 : 2/3y : : 9 : x
Days 2 : 10Therefore, x = 2/3 x 10 x 9 x 3 x 1/2 = 90 men
Thus required men = 90 - 9 = 81
