Q1. Ramesh can finish a job in 20 days. He worked for 10 days alone and completed the remaining job working with Dinesh, in 2 days. How many days would both Dinesh and Ramesh together take to complete the entire job?
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Ramesh alone finished [latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex] of the work in 10 days.
Remaining [latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex] was finished by Ramesh and Dinesh together in 2 days.
Therefore, they both together can finish the complete job in 4 days.
Q2. Ram decided to plough a farmland in 50 days. He employed 50 men in the beginning and 50 more after 35 days and completed the construction in stipulated time. If he had not employed the additional men, how many days behind schedule would it have been finished?
A. 5 days
B. 6 days
C. 8 Days
D. 10 Days
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Given that, 50 men employed for 35 days and 50 more men employed for 15 days so that the work could be finished in 50 days.
Thus, the total work = 50*35 + (50 + 50) 15 = 3250
Suppose, it takes x days to finish the whole work if additional men were not employed.
So, we have an equation here.
50*x = 3250
x = 65 days
Therefore, it takes 15 days more than the stipulated time.
Q3. 20 men can complete a piece of work in 15 days and 12 women can complete the same piece of work in 24 days. What is the ratio of amount of work done by 30 men in one day to the amount of work done by 16 women in 1 day ?
A. 6:7
B. 9:5
C. 7:5
D. 2:7
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
M : W = [latex]\frac{30}{20*15}[/latex] : [latex]\frac{16}{12*24}[/latex]
= [latex]\frac{1}{10}[/latex] : [latex]\frac{1}{18}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{1}{5}[/latex]:[latex]\frac{1}{9}[/latex]
Ratio = 9:5
Q4. X alone can do a piece of work in 5 days. Y can do the same piece of work in 4 days. X and Y are assigned to do the work for Rs.5000.They complete the work in 2 days with the help of Z. How much is to be paid to Z ?
A. Rs.750
B. Rs.620
C. Rs.700
D. Rs.500
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Z’s one day work = [latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex] – [ [latex]\frac{1}{5}[/latex] + [latex]\frac{1}{4}[/latex]] = 10 - 4 + [latex]\frac{5}{20}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{1}{20}[/latex]
Ratio = [latex]\frac{1}{5}[/latex]:[latex]\frac{1}{4}[/latex]:[latex]\frac{1}{20}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{4}{20}[/latex] : [latex]\frac{5}{20}[/latex] : [latex]\frac{1}{20}[/latex] = 4:5:1
Z = 5000*[latex]\frac{1}{10}[/latex] = 500
Q5. 9 men and 12 women can complete the job in 12 days.In how many days can 3 men and 4 women finish the same job working together ?
A. 36 days
B. 42 Days
C. 30 Days
D. 28 Days
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
9m + 12w = [latex]\frac{1}{13}[/latex]
3m + 4w = ?
3(3m + 4w) = [latex]\frac{1}{13}[/latex]
3m + 4w = [latex]\frac{1}{36}[/latex]
