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 1482. 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
Question 1483. 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 ?

  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 1485. If 6 men working together can complete 50 identical tasks in 4 hours then how many such identical tasks can be completed if 10 men are working together for 6 hours?
  1.    20
  2.    25
  3.    125
  4.    60
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 125
M1*D1*W2 = M2*D2*W1
WHERE, M – NUMBER OF PEOPLE WORKING
D – TIME OF WORK
W – NUMBER OF TASKS OR WORK
6*4*W2 = 10*6*50
W2 = 125 TASKS
Question 1486. 6 men and 8 women can complete a work in 10 days. 26 men and 48 women can finish the same work in 2 days. 15 men and 20 women can do the same work in_______days.
  1.    4 days
  2.    6 days
  3.    2 days
  4.    8 days
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 4 days
LET WORK DONE BY 1 MAN IN 1 DAY = M AND WORK DONE BY 1 WOMAN IN 1 DAY = B
WORK DONE BY 6 MEN AND 8 WOMEN IN 1 DAY = 1/10
=> 6M + 8B = 1/10
=> 60M + 80B = 1 — (1)
WORK DONE BY 26 MEN AND 48 WOMEN IN 1 DAY = 1/2
=> 26M + 48B = ½
=> 52M + 96B = 1— (2)
SOLVING EQUATION 1 AND EQUATION 2. WE GET M = 1/100 AND B = 1/200
WORK DONE BY 15 MEN AND 20 WOMEN IN 1 DAY
= 15/100 + 20/200 =1/4
=> TIME TAKEN BY 15 MEN AND 20 WOMEN IN DOING THE WORK = 4 DAYS
Question 1487. P works twice as fast as Q. If Q alone can complete a work in 12 days, P and Q can finish the work in________days
  1.    1
  2.    2
  3.    3
  4.    4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 4
WORK DONE BY Q IN 1 DAY = 1/12
WORK DONE BY P IN 1 DAY = 2 × (1/12) = 1/6
WORK DONE BY P AND Q IN 1 DAY = 1/12 + 1/6 = ¼
=> P AND Q CAN FINISH THE WORK IN 4 DAYS
Question 1488. P is 30% more efficient than Q. P can complete a work in 23 days. If P and Q work together, how much time will it take to complete the same work?
  1.    9
  2.    11
  3.    23
  4.    13
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 13
WORK DONE BY P IN 1 DAY = 1/23
LET WORK DONE BY Q IN 1 DAY = Q
Q × (130/100) = 1/23
=> Q = 100/(23×130) = 10/(23×13)
WORK DONE BY P AND Q IN 1 DAY = 1/23 + 10/(23×13) = 23/(23×13)= 1/13
=> P AND Q TOGETHER CAN DO THE WORK IN 13 DAYS
