Answer : A

Explanation

Kamal 1 day work=1/5.
Bimal 1 days work=150% of 1/15=150/100*1/15 =1/10.
∴Bimal can finish the work in 10 days.

Q 2 - A and B can do a bit of work in 12 days. B and C can do it in 15 days and C and A can do it in 20 days. An alone can take every necessary step in:

Answer : C

Explanation

(A+B)'s 1 day work = 1/12 ; (B+C) 's 1 day work  = 1/15 ;  (C+A) 's 1 day work = 1/20
2(A+B+C) 's 1 day work = (1/12+ 1/15+ 1/20) = (5+4+3)/60 = 12/60 = 1/5
∴ (A+B+C) 1 day work = 1/10
⇒A 's 1 day work = (1/10- 1/15) = 1/30
⇒A alone can do this work in 30 days.

Q 3 - A and B together can finish a work in 3 days. They begin together. In any case, following 2 days, B left the work. In the event that the work is finished following 2 more days, B alone could take every necessary step in

Answer : B

Explanation

(A+B)'s 2 day work = (1/3*2)= 2/3 A's 2 days work = (1- 2/3) = 1/3 B's 2 days work = (2/3- 1/3) = 1/3 B's 1 day work = 1/6 ∴ B alone can finish the work in 6 days.

Q 4 - A can do a bit of work in 10 days and B can do it in 20 days. They begin the work together . Be that as it may, following 5 days, A leaves off. B will do the remaining work in

Q 5 - A certain no. of men finishes a bit of work in 60 days. On the off chance that there were 8 men more work could be done in 10 days less. What number of men arrived initially?

Answer : B

Explanation

Let there be x men originally.
X man finish the work in 60 days and (x+8) finish it in 50 days.
X man finish the job in 60 days.
⇒ 1 man can finish it in 50 (x+8) days.
∴ 60 x = 50(X+80 ⇒10 x= 400 ⇒x = 40
Hence, there were 40 men originally.

Q 6 - 9 men working 7 hours a day can finish a bit of work in 15 days. In how long can 6 men functioning for 9 hours a day, complete the same bit of work?

Answer : D

Explanation

(9*7) men working 1 hr a day can finish the work in 15 days.
63 men finish it in 15 days.
1 man can finish it in (15*63) days.
(6*9) men can finish it in (15*63)/ (6*9) days = 35/2 days

Q 7 - If 1 men or 2 ladies or 3 kid can do a bit of work in 44 days , then the same bit of work will be finished by 1 men , 1 ladies and 1 kid in

Answer : B

Explanation

1 man 's 1 day work = 1/44 , 2 women?s  1 day  work =  1/44
∴ 1 women 1 day work = 1/88
3 boys 1 day's work = 1/44 ⇒1 boys 1 day work = 1/132
(1 man + 1 women + 1 boy)'s 1 day work =  (1/44+ 1/88+1/132 )= (6+3+2)/264
= 11/264 = 1/24
∴ 1 man+ 1 women + 1 boy's can finish this work in 24 days.

Q 8 - If 12 man and 16 young men can do a bit of work in 5 days ; 13 man and 24 young men can do it in 4 days , then the proportion of the everyday work done by a men to that of a kid is:

Answer : A

Explanation

Let 1 men 1 day work be x and 1 boy 1 day work be y.
Then 12x + 16 y = 1/5 ... (.1) 13x +24 y = 1/4 ... (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by 2 and subtracting, we get
10 x= (3/5- 1/2) = 1/10 ⇒x = 1/100
Putting x = 1/100 in (1), we get 16 y = (1/5- 12/100) = 8/100 ⇒y = 1/200
Required ratio = 1/100: 1/200 = 2:1

Q 9 - Two man embrace to do a bit of work for Rs. 4000. One alone can do it in 6 days, the other in 8 days. With the assistance of a kid, they complete it in 3 days. The young men offer is:

Answer : B

Explanation

Let the men be A and B and the boy be C.
A's 1 days work = 1/6, B's 1 day work = 1/8. (A+B+C)'s 1 day work = 1/3
1/6 + 1/8 +1/x = 1/3 ⇒1/x = (1/3- 7/24) = 1/24
Ratio of shares of A, B, C = 1/6: 1/8: 1/24 = 4:3:1
Boys share = (4000*1/8) = RS. 500

Q 10 - A man, a ladies and a kid can finish a vocation in 3 days, 4 days and 12 days individually. What number of young men must help 1 man and 1 lady to finish the occupation in 1/fourth of the day?

Answer : D

Explanation

1 man 1 days work =1/3,1 woman 1 days work=1/4,1 boy 1 day work=1/12.
1 man 1/4 day work= (1/3*1/4) =1/12, 1 woman 1/4 day work work= (1/4*1/4) =1/6.
1 boy 1/4 day work = (1/12*1/4) =1/48.
Let (1 man +1 woman + x boys) work=1⇒1/12+1/16+x/48=1⇒7+x=48⇒x=41.
