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 the 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 stipulated time.
Q3. Kiran can do a work in 20 days, while Karan can do the same work in 25 days. They started the work jointly. Few days later Suman also joined them and thus all of them completed the whole work in 10 days. All of them were paid total Rs.1000. What is the share of Suman?
A. 200
B. 400
C. 100
D. 300
Answer: Option C
Explanation :
Efficiency of Kiran = 5%
Efficiency of Karan = 4%
They will complete only 90% of the work = [(5 + 4)*10] =90
Remaining work done by Suman = 10%.
Share of Suman = [latex]\frac{10}{100}[/latex] * 1000 = 100
Q4. Arun can do a piece of work in 10 days, Bala in 15 days. They work together for 5 days, the rest of the work is finished by Chitra in two more days. If they get Rs. 5000 as wages for the whole work, what are the daily wages of Arun, Bala and Chitra respectively (in Rs)?
A. 600, 400, 500
B. 200, 300, 400
C. 500, 300, 400
D. 600, 500, 300
Answer: Option A
Explanation :
A’s 5 days work = 50%
B’s 5 days work = 33.33%
C’s 2 days work = 16.66%[100- (50 + 33.33)] Ratio of contribution of work of Arun, Bala and Chitra = 3 : 2 : 1
Arun’s total share = Rs. 3000
Bala’s total share = Rs. 2000
Chitra’s total share = Rs. 1000
Arun’s one day’s earning = Rs.600
Bala’s one day’s earning = Rs.400
Chitra’s one day’s earning = Rs.500
Q5. (x-2) person can do a work in x days and (x+7) person can do 75% of the same work in (x-10)days. Then in how many days can (x+10) person finish the work?
A. 27 days
B. 12 days
C. 25 days
D. 18 days
Answer: Option B
Explanation :
[latex]\frac{3}{4}[/latex] * (x-2)x = (x+7)(x-10)
x – 6x – 280 = 0
x = 20; x = -14
(x-2)x = 18 * 20 = 360
360 = 30 * y
y = 12 days
