TIME TAKEN IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THEIR EFFICIENCY. SO, TIME TAKEN IS IN THE RATIO 8:5. TIME TAKEN BY RASHID TO FINISH THE WORK = 8X TIME TAKEN BY DANISH TO FINISH THE WORK = 5X 8X-5X=51 3X=51 X=17 8X=136
Question 1452. Mansoor-Ul-Haque and Aaqib are working on a special assignment. Mansoor-Ul-Haque needs 6 hours to type 32 pages on a computer and Aaqib needs 5 hours to type 40 pages. If both of them work together on two different computers, how much time is needed to type an assignment of 110 pages?

  2.    7 hour 30 minutes
  3.    8 hour 15 minutes
  4.    8 hour 30 minutes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 8 hour 15 minutes
PAGES TYPED BY MANSOOR-UL-HAQUE IN 1 HOUR = 32/6 = 16/3
PAGES TYPED BY AAQIB IN 1 HOUR = 40/5 = 8
PAGES TYPED BY MANSOOR-UL-HAQUE AND AAQIB IN 1 HOUR = 16/3 + 8 = 40/3
TIME TAKEN TO TYPE 110 PAGES WHEN MANSOOR-UL-HAQUE AND AAQIB WORK TOGETHER = 110 × 3 /40 = 33/4
= 8 ¼ HOURS = 8 HOUR 15 MINUTES

  4.    11 am
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1:00 pm
WORK DONE BY P IN 1 HOUR = 1/8
WORK DONE BY Q IN 1 HOUR = 1/10
WORK DONE BY R IN 1 HOUR = 1/12
WORK DONE BY P,Q AND R IN 1 HOUR = 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/12 = 37/120
WORK DONE BY Q AND R IN 1 HOUR = 1/10 + 1/12 = 22/120 = 11/60
FROM 9 AM TO 11 AM, ALL THE MACHINES WERE OPERATING.
IE, THEY ALL OPERATED FOR 2 HOURS AND WORK COMPLETED = 2 × (37/120) = 37/60
PENDING WORK = 1- 37/60 = 23/60
HOURS TAKEN BY Q AN R TO COMPLETE THE PENDING WORK = (23/60) / (11/60) = 23/11
WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO 2
HENCE THE WORK WILL BE COMPLETED APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS AFTER 11 AM ; IE AROUND 1 PM
Question 1456. P is able to do a piece of work in 15 days and Q can do the same work in 20 days. If they can work together for 4 days, what is the fraction of work left?
  1.    8/15
  2.    7/15
  3.    11/15
  4.    2/11
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 8/15
AMOUNT OF WORK P CAN DO IN 1 DAY = 1/15
AMOUNT OF WORK Q CAN DO IN 1 DAY = 1/20
AMOUNT OF WORK P AND Q CAN DO IN 1 DAY = 1/15 + 1/20 = 7/60
AMOUNT OF WORK P AND Q CAN TOGETHER DO IN 4 DAYS = 4 × (7/60) = 7/15
FRACTION OF WORK LEFT = 1 – 7/15= 8/15
Question 1457. Jameel can complete a task in 15 hours and Nasir can complete the same task in 12 hours. Jameel starts the task at 9:00 am and stops working at 2:00pm. Nasir starts working on the task at 4:00 pm. At what time is the task completed?

  2.    9
  3.    11

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 10
WORK DONE BY P IN 1 DAY = 1/24
WORK DONE BY Q IN 1 DAY = 1/9
WORK DONE BY R IN 1 DAY = 1/12
WORK DONE BY Q AND R IN 1 DAY = 1/9 + 1/12 = 7/36
WORK DONE BY Q AND R IN 3 DAYS = 3×7/36 = 7/12
REMAINING WORK = 1 – 7/12 = 5/12
NUMBER OF DAYS IN WHICH P CAN FINISH THE REMAINING WORK = (5/12) / (1/24) = 10
Question 1459. Farjan and Kashif can complete a task in 30 days. Farjan leaves after 20 days and Kashif alone completes it in another 25 days. How many days does Farjan alone take to complete the entire task?
  1.    50
  2.    75
  3.    60
  4.    45
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 50
PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY FARJAN AND KASHIF IN A DAY
= 1/30 PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY THEM IN 20 DAYS
= 20/30 = 2/3 1/3 OF THE WORK IS REMAINING. KASHIF COMPLETES 1/3RD OF THE WORK IN 25 DAYS. PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY HIM IN A DAY
= (1/3)÷25
= 1/75 (1/D)+(1/V) = 1/30 (1/D) = (1/30)-(1/75) = 1/50 FARJAN CAN COMPLETE IT IN 50 DAYS.
