Question 61. A can lay a railway track between two given stations in 16 days and B can do the same job in 12 days. With help of C, they did the job in 4 days only. Then, C alone can do the job in_________?
  1.    4
  2.    9.6
  3.    9
  4.    10
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 9.6
PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY A AND B IN 4 DAYS
= 4*((1/16) + (1/12))
= 7/12 C CAN COMPLETE 5/12TH OF THE WORK IN 4 DAYS C CAN COMPLETE THE WHOLE JOB IN
4÷(5/12) = 9.6 DAYS
Question 62. Twelve men can do a work in twenty days while twenty women can finish the same work in sixteen days. Find the ratio between the capacity of a man and a woman.
  1.    3:4
  2.    5:4
  3.    4:3
  4.    5:3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 4:3
PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY A MAN IN A DAY = 1/(12*20)
= 1/240 PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY A WOMAN IN A DAY = 1/(20*16) = 1/320 RATIO OF THEIR CAPACITIES
= (1/240):(1/320) = 320:240 = 4:3
Question 63. A,B,C, can do a work in 8,14,16 days respectively. A does the work for the first 2 days. B continues from it and finishes 2/3rd of the remaining work. C finishes the remaining work. How many days would have taken to complete the work?
  1.    13
  2.    11
  3.    12
  4.    15
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 13
A COMPLETES 2*(1/8) = 1/4TH OF THE WORK 2/3RD OF THE REMAINING WORK
= (3/4) * (2/3) = 1/2 B COMPLETES 1/2 OF THE WORK IN
(1/2)÷(1/14) = 7 DAYS C COMPLETES 1/4TH OF THE WORK IN
(1/4)÷(1/16) = 4 DAYS THEY TAKE 13 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE WORK
Question 64. If 10 bulls can plough 20 identical fields in 3 days working 10 hours a day, then in how many days can 30 bulls plough 32 same identical fields working 8 hours a day?
  1.    2
  2.    8
  3.    10
  4.    12
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2
M1*D1*W2 = M2*D2*W1
10*3*10*32 = 30*D*8*20
D = 2 DAYS
Question 65. Two pipes P and Q can fill a cistern in 12 minutes and 16 minutes respectively. Simultaneously both the pipes are opened together, then after how much time Q should be closed so that the tank is full in 9 min ?
  1.    2 min
  2.    3 min
  3.    4 min
  4.    5 min
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 4 min
LET Q BE CLOSED AFTER X MIN. THEN PART FILLED BY (P+Q) IN X MIN + PART FILLED BY P IN ( 9 – X )MIN
X(1/12+1/16)+(9−X)1/12=1
Question 66. A and B can do a piece of work in 21 and 24 days respectively.They start the work together and after some days, A leaves and B completes the rest of the task in 9 days. After how many days did A leave?
  1.    5
  2.    6
  3.    7
  4.    8
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 7
PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY A IN A DAY = 1/21 PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY B IN A DAY = 1/24 PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY THEM TOGETHER IN A DAY = (1/21)+(1/24)
= 5/56 PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY B IN 9 DAYS
= 9/24 = 3/8 IF A LEFT AFTER X DAYS,
(5X/56)+(3/8) = 1
X = 7
Question 67. P, Q and R can complete a work in 24, 6 and 12 days respectively. The work will be completed in________days if all of them are working together.
  1.    2
  2.    3 3⁄7
  3.    4 ¼
  4.    5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 3 3⁄7
WORK DONE BY P IN 1 DAY = 1/24
WORK DONE BY Q IN 1 DAY = 1/6
WORK DONE BY R IN 1 DAY = 1/12
WORK DONE BY P,Q AND R IN 1 DAY = 1/24 + 1/6 + 1/12 = 7/24
=> WORKING TOGETHER, THEY WILL COMPLETE THE WORK IN 24/7 DAYS = 3 3⁄7 DAYS
Question 68. A can do piece of work in 30 days while B can do it in 40 days. In how many days can A and B working together do it ?
  1.    70 days
  2.    120/7 days
  3.    50 days

Question 69. A work can be finished in 16 days by twenty women. The same work can be finished in fifteen days by sixteen men. The ratio between the capacity of a man and a woman is_________?
  1.    1:3
  2.    4:3
  3.    2:3
  4.    2:1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4:3
WORK DONE BY 20 WOMEN IN 1 DAY = 1/16
WORK DONE BY 1 WOMAN IN 1 DAY = 1/(16×20)
WORK DONE BY 16 MEN IN 1 DAY = 1/15
WORK DONE BY 1 MAN IN 1 DAY = 1/(15×16)
RATIO OF THE CAPACITY OF A MAN AND WOMAN =1/(15×16) : 1/(16×20) = 1/15 : 1/20
= 1/3 :1/4 = 4:3
Question 70. A can do a certain job in 12 days. B is 60% more efficient than A. The number of days it takes for B to do the same piece of work, is:_________?
  1.    12/6 days
  2.    15/2 days
  3.    23 days
  4.    34 days
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 15/2 days
RATIO OF TIME, TAKEN BY A AND B = 160 : 100 = 8 : 5
IF A TAKES 8 DAYS, B TAKES 5 DAYS.
IF A TAKES 12 DAYS, B TAKES = [5/8×12]=15/2 DAYS
