Q 1 - A can do a bit of work in 8 hours while B along can do it in 12 hours. Both A and B cooperating can complete the work in:

Answer : D

Explanation

A's 1 hour work = 1/8, B 's 1 hour work =  1/12
(A+B)'s 1 hour work =  (1/8 +1/12) = 5/24
Hence, A and B together can finish it in 24/5 hours

Q 2 - A and B together can finish a bit of work in 12 days, B and C can do it in 20 days and C and A do it 15 days. A, B and C together can finish it in

Answer : C

Explanation

(A+B) 1days works =1/12, (B+C) 1days work =1/20, (C+A) 1 days work=1/15.
2(A+B+C) 1days work = (1/12+1/20+1/15) = (5+3+4)/60=12/60=1/5.
⇒ (A+B+C) 1 days works=1/10.
∴A, B and C together can do it in 10 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 14 days which B can alone do in 21 days. They start together however 3 days before the fruition of the work, A leaves off. The aggregate no. of days for the work to be finished is

Answer : C

Explanation

B's 3 days work = (3*1/21)= 1/7 ; Remaining work = (1-1/7) = 6/7
   (A+B)'s 1 day?s work = (1/14+ 1/21) = 5/42
5/42 work is finished by (A+B) in 1 day.
6/7 work is finished by (A+B) in (42/5 * 6/7) days = 36/5 days
 Total no. of days = (3+36/5) = 51/5 days.

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 - A men, a ladies and a kid can together finish a bit of work in 3 days. In the event that a men alone can do it in 6 days and a kid alone in 18 days, to what extent will a ladies take to finish the work?

Answer : A

Explanation

(1 man+ 1 women +1 boy ) 1 day work = 1/3
Suppose the women alone can do it in x days. Then
1/6 +1/x+1/18= 1/3 ⇒4/18 +1/x = 1/3 ⇒1/x = (1/3- 2/9) = 1/9
So, 1 woman can do the work in 9 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 - A and B attempted to do a bit of work for rs .4500. An alone could do it in 8 days and B alone in 12 days. With the help of C, they completed the work in 4 days. C's offer of cash is:

Answer : B

Explanation

A's 1 day work = 1/8 ,B's 1 day work = 1/12
(A+B+C) 's 1 days work = 1/4
  C 's 1 day work = 1/4 - (1/8+ 1/12) = (1/4 -5/24) = 1/24
A: B: C = 1/8: 1/12: 1/24 = 3:2:1
C's share = (4500* 1/6) = Rs. 750

Q 9 - An alone can complete a work in 10 days which B alone can complete in 15 days. On the off chance that they cooperate and complete it, then out of an aggregate wages of rs. 3000. A will get:

A's 1 day  work = 1/10 ,  B's 1 day work = 1/15
Ratio of wages of A and B = 1/10: 1/15 = 3:2
A's share = (3000*3/5) = 1800 rs.

Q 10 - A works twice as quick as B. On the off chance that the two can together complete a bit of work in 12 days, then B alone can do it in

Answer : C

Explanation

Let B 1 day work =x. Then , A 1 days work=2x
