A. 19
B. 20
C. 21
D. 22

let her age be x

x=21 years

P and Q can complete a work in 15 days and 10 days respectively. They started the work together and then Q left after 2
days. P alone completed the remaining work. The work was finished in__________days.

A. 12
B. 15
C. 22
D. 20

Work done by P in 1 day = 1/15

Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/10
Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/15 + 1/10 = 1/6
Work done by P and Q in 2 days = 2 × (1/6) = 1/3
Remaining work = 1 – 1/3 = 2/3
Time taken by P to complete the remaining work 2/3 = (2/3) / (1/15) = 10 days
Total time taken = 2 + 10 = 12 days

A and B can finish a work 30 days if they work together. They worked together for 20 days and then B left. A finished the
remaining work in another 20 days. In how many days A alone can finish the work?

A. 70
B. 50
C. 40
D. 60

Amount of work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/30

Amount of work done by A and B in 20 days = 20 × (1/30) = 20/30 = 2/3

Remaining work – 1 – 2/3 = 1/3

A completes 1/3 work in 20 days

Amount of work A can do in 1 day = (1/3)/20 = 1/60

=> A can complete the work in 60 days

A is thrice as good as B in work. A is able to finish a job in 60 days less than B. They can finish the work
in___________days if they work together.

A. 18 days
B. 22 ½ days
C. 24 days
D. 26 days

If A completes a work in 1 day, B completes the same work in 3 days

Hence, if the difference is 2 days, B can complete the work in 3 days

=> if the difference is 60 days, B can complete the work in 90 days

=> Amount of work B can do in 1 day= 1/90

Amount of work A can do in 1 day = 3 × (1/90) = 1/30

Amount of work A and B can together do in 1 day = 1/90 + 1/30 = 4/90 = 2/45

=> A and B together can do the work in 45/2 days = 22 ½ days

D. 6 hrs.

X’s 1 hour work = 1/10

Y’s 1 hour work = 1/15
(x+y)’s 1 hour work = 1/10+1/15=5/30=1/6
Both the taps can fill the tank in 6 hrs.

Assume that 20 cows and 40 goats can be kept for 10 days for Rs.460. If the cost of keeping 5 goats is the same as the cost of
keeping 1 cow, what will be the cost for keeping 50 cows and 30 goats for 12 days?

A. Rs.1104
B. Rs.1000
C. Rs.934
D. Rs.1210

Assume that cost of keeping a cow for 1 day = c ,

cost of keeping a goat for 1 day = g

Cost of keeping 20 cows and 40 goats for 10 days = 460

Cost of keeping 20 cows and 40 goats for 1 day = 460/10 = 46

=> 20c + 40g = 46

=> 10c + 20g = 23 —(1)

Given that 5g = c
Hence equation (1) can be written as 10c + 4c = 23 => 14c =23

=> c=23/14
cost of keeping 50 cows and 30 goats for 1 day

= 50c + 30g

= 50c + 6c (substituted 5g = c)

= 56 c = 56×23/14

= 92
Cost of keeping 50 cows and 30 goats for 12 days = 12×92 = 1104

P takes twice as much time as Q or thrice as much time as R to finish a piece of work. They can finish the
work in 2 days if work together. How much time will Q take to do the work alone?

A. 7
B. 8
C. 9
D. 6
Let P takes x days to complete the work
Then Q takes x/2 days and R takes x/3 days to finish the work
Amount of work P does in 1 day = 1/x
Amount of work Q does in 1 day = 2/x
Amount of work R does in 1 day = 3/x
Amount of work P,Q and R do in 1 day = 1/x + 2/x + 3/x = 1/x (1 + 2 + 3) = 6/x
6/x = 2
=> x = 12
=> Q takes 12/2 days = 6 days to complete the work

3 men and 7 women can complete a work in 10 days . But 4 men and 6 women need 8 days to complete the same work . In
how many days will 10 women complete the same work?

A. 50
B. 30
C. 40
D. 13

Work done by 4 men and 6 women in 1 day = 1/8

Work done by 3 men and 7 women in 1 day = 1/10
Let 1 man does m work in 1 day and 1 woman does w work in 1 day. The above equations can be written as
4m + 6w = 1/8 —(1)
3m + 7w = 1/10 —(2)
Solving equation (1) and (2) , we get m=11/400 and w=1/400
Amount of work 10 women can do in a day = 10 × (1/400) = 1/40
Ie, 10 women can complete the work in 40 days

D. 20 days

Time and Men are inversely proportional. Time taken by 28 men to finish the work = 15 days Time taken by a man to
finish the work
= 15*28 days Time taken by 21 men = (15*28)/21 = 20 days

C. 8 days
D. 9 days

Part of work completed by C in 1 day = 1/12 Part of work completed by D in 1 day = 1/15 Part of work completed by C
in 4 days
= 1/3 Work remaining = 2/3 Time taken by D to complete the work
= (2/3)÷(1/15) = 10 days

amount does R can earn per day?
A. Rs.40
B. Rs.70
C. Rs.90
D. Rs.100

Amount Earned by P,Q and R in 1 day = 1620/9 = 180 —(1)

Amount Earned by P and R in 1 day = 600/5 = 120 —(2)
Amount Earned by Q and R in 1 day = 910/7 = 130 —(3)
(2)+(3)-(1) => Amount Earned by P , Q and 2R in 1 day
– Amount Earned by P,Q and R in 1 day = 120+130-180 = 70
=>Amount Earned by R in 1 day = 70

C. 15 days
D. 12 days

Work done by P in 1 day = 1/20

Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/12
Work done by P in 4 days = 4 × (1/20) = 1/5
Remaining work = 1 – 1/5 = 4/5
Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/20 + 1/12 = 8/60 = 2/15
Number of days P and Q take to complete the remaining work = (4/5) / (2/15) = 6
Total days = 4 + 6 = 10

P can finish a work in 18 days. Q can finish the same work in 15 days. Q worked for 10 days and left the job. how many days
does P alone need to finish the remaining work?

A. 8
B. 6
C. 4
D. 2

Work done by P in 1 day = 1/18

Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/15
Work done by Q in 10 days = 10/15 = 2/3
Remaining work = 1 – 2/3 = 1/3
Number of days in which P can finish the remaining work = (1/3) / (1/18) = 6

P can lay railway track between two stations in 16 days. Q can do the same job in 12 days. With the help of R, they completes

A. 9(3/5) days
B. 9(1/5) days
C. 9(2/5) days
D. 10 days

Amount of work P can do in 1 day = 1/16

Amount of work Q can do in 1 day = 1/12
Amount of work P, Q and R can together do in 1 day = 1/4
Amount of work R can do in 1 day = 1/4 – (1/16 + 1/12) = 3/16 – 1/12 = 5/48
=> Hence R can do the job on 48/5 days = 9 (3/5) days
