1 woman can do it in (12*5) days.
15 women can do it in 12*5/15days=4days.

A - 3 days

B - 5 days

C - 7 days

D - 11 days

B's 9 days work = (1/12*9)= 3/4 ; remaining work = (1-3/4 )= 1/4 1/20 work is finished by A in 1 day. 1/4 works is finished by A in (20*1/4) days. =5 days

Q 4 - A and B can do a bit of work in 45 days and 40 days . they started the work together however A leaves after a few days and B completed the remaining work in 23 days . After how long did A leaves?

A - 6 days

B - 8 days

C - 9 days

D - 12 days

Answer : C

Explanation

Work done by B in 23 days = (23*1/40) = 23/40 ; remaining work = (1- 23/40)= 17/40
(A+B)'s 1 day work = ( 1/45+ 1/40) = (8+9)/360 = 17/360
17/360 work is done by (A+B) in 1 day.
17/40 work is done by them in (360/17*17/40) = 9 days

Q 5 - A man and a kid finish a work together in 24 days. On the off chance that throughout the previous 6 days man alone takes every necessary step then it is finished in 26 days. To what extent the kid will take to complete the work done?

A - 72 days

B - 20 days

C - 24 days

D - 36 days

Answer : D

Explanation

Work done by  (man + boy ) in 20 days = (1/24*20)= 5/6
              Remaining work = (1-5/6) = 1/6
1/6 work is done by boy in 6 days.
Whole work will be done by the boy in (6*6) = 36 days

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?

A - 9 days

B - 21 days

C - 24 days

D - 27 days

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 - 4 men and 6 ladies complete an occupation in 8 days while 3 men and 7 ladies complete it in 10 days. 10 ladies cooperating will complete it in

A - 24 days

B - 32 days

C - 36 days

D - 40 days

Answer : D

Explanation

Let 1 men 1 day work be x and 1 women 1 day work be y. then
4x+6 y= 1/8 ... (1)    3x+7y = 1/10 ...(11)
Multiplying (1) by 3, (11) by 4 and subtracting, we get
10 y = (4/10- 3/8) = (16-15)/40 = 1/40 ⇒y = 1/400
1 women's 1 day work = 1/400
10 women 1 day work = (1/400*10) = 1/40
Hence 10 women can finish the work in 40 days

Q 8 - 8 kids and 12 men finish a sure bit of work in 9 days. In the event that every youngster takes double the time taken by a men to complete the work, in how long will 12 men complete the same work?

A - 8 days

C - 9 days

D - 12 days

Answer : D

Explanation

2 children = 1 man
∴ (8 children + 12 man) = 16 men
Let the required number of days be x.
Less man, more days
12: 16:: 9: x ⇒x = 16*9/12 = 12 days

Q 9 - A can develop 2/fifth of the area in 6 days and B can develop 1/third of the area in 10 days. Cooperating A and B can develop 4/fifth of the area in

Whole land is cultivated by A in (6*5/2) days = 15 days
1/3 rd of the land is cultivated by B in 10 days.
Whole land is cultivated by B in (10*3) = 30 days
(A+B)'s 1 days work = (1/15+ 1/30) = 3/30 = 1/10
Whole land is cultivated by both in 10 days.
4/5th land is cultivated by both in (10*4/5) = 8 days

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.
