  2.    34(2/7)
  3.    44
  4.    45
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 48
(1/A)+(1/B) = (1/20) (1/B)+(1/C) = (1/30) (1/A)+(1/C) = (1/40) SOLVING THE THREE EQUATIONS,
A=48
Question 1492. 2 men and 12 women can finish a job in 4 days. 4 men and 6 women can do the same job in 5 days. Find the time taken by 1 man and 1 woman to complete the job.

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 24 days
PART OF WORK DONE BY 1 MAN IN A DAY = 1/M PART OF WORK DONE BY 1 WOMAN IN A DAY
= 1/W (2/M)+(12/W) = (1/4) (4/M)+(6/W) = (1/5) SOLVING,
1/M = 1/40 ,1/W = 1/60 (1/M)+(1/W) = 5/120 = 1/24
Question 1493. Bilal can do a work in 15 days and Jalal in 12 days. If they work on it together for 4 days, the fraction of work that is left is________?
  1.    3/5
  2.    4/7
  3.    2/5
  4.    1/4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2/5
PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY BILAL IN A DAY = 1/15 PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY JALAL IN A DAY = 1/12 PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY THEM IN A DAY = (1/15)+(1/12) = 3/20 PART OF WORK COMPLETED BY THEM IN 4 DAYS = (3/20)*4 = 3/5 FRACTION OF WORK LEFT
= 1-(3/5)
= 2/5
Question 1494. A alone can finish a work in 10 days and B alone can do it in 15 days. If they work together and finish, then out of a total wages of Rs.75. A will get:___________?
  1.    35 Rs.
  2.    40 Rs.
  3.    45 Rs.
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 45 Rs.
ATIO OF TIME TAKEN BY A AND B= 10 : 15 = 2 : 3
RATIO OF WORK DONE IN THE SAME TIME = 3:2, SO, THE MONEY IS TO BE DIVIDED AMONG A AND B IN THE RATIO 3 : 2
A’S SHARE = RS. [75×3/5] = RS.45.
Question 1495. If X and Y complete a certain work in 10 days, Y and Z in 16 days and X and Z in 22 days, find the time required for each one to complete the work while working separately.
  1.    120, 40, 60 days
  2.    120, 60, 80 days
  3.    40, 30, 120 days
  4.    30, 40, 60 days
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 120, 40, 60 days
LET A: BE THE TIME IN WHICH X & Y COMPLETES THEIR WORK = 30 DAYS
B: TIME IN WHICH Y & Z COMPLETES THEIR WORK = 24 DAYS
C: TIME IN WHICH X & Z COMPLETES THEIR WORK = 40 DAYS
X ALONE CAN COMPLETE THE WORK IN (2 * A * C) / (AB + BC – AC) DAYS
= 2 * 30 * 24 * 40 / ((30 * 24) + (24 * 40) – (30 * 40)) = 120 DAYS
Y ALONE CAN COMPLETE THE WORK IN 2 * A * B * C / (- AB + BC + AC) DAYS
= 2 * 30 * 24 * 40 / (-(30 * 24) + (24 * 40) + (30 * 40)) = 40 DAYS
Z ALONE CAN COMPLETE THE WORK IN 2 * A * B * C / (AB – BC + AC) DAYS
= 2 * 30 * 24 * 40 / ((30 * 24) – (24 * 40) + (30 * 40))
= 60 DAYS
Question 1496. A can do a particular work in 6 days . B can do the same work in 8 days. A and B signed to do it for Rs. 3200. They completed the work in 3 days with the help of C. How much is to be paid to C?
  1.    Rs. 380
  2.    Rs. 600
  3.    Rs. 420
  4.    Rs. 400
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rs. 400
AMOUNT OF WORK A CAN DO IN 1 DAY = 1/6
AMOUNT OF WORK B CAN DO IN 1 DAY = 1/8
AMOUNT OF WORK A + B CAN DO IN 1 DAY = 1/6 + 1/8 = 7/24
AMOUNT OF WORK A + B + C CAN DO = 1/3
AMOUNT OF WORK C CAN DO IN 1 DAY = 1/3 – 7/24 = 1/24
WORK A CAN DO IN 1 DAY: WORK B CAN DO IN 1 DAY: WORK C CAN DO IN 1 DAY
= 1/6 : 1/8 : 1/24 = 4 : 3 : 1
AMOUNT TO BE PAID TO C = 3200 × (1/8) = 400
Question 1497. A can complete a work in 12 days with a working of 8 hours per day. B can complete the same work in 8 days when working 10 hours a day. If A and B work together, working 8 hours a day, the work can be completed in_______days.
  1.    5 5⁄11
  2.    4 5⁄11
  3.    6 4⁄11
  4.    6 5⁄11
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 5 5⁄11
A CAN COMPLETE THE WORK IN 12 DAYS WORKING 8 HOURS A DAY
=> NUMBER OF HOURS A CAN COMPLETE THE WORK = 12×8 = 96 HOURS
=> WORK DONE BY A IN 1 HOUR = 1/96
B CAN COMPLETE THE WORK IN 8 DAYS WORKING 10 HOURS A DAY
=> NUMBER OF HOURS B CAN COMPLETE THE WORK = 8×10 = 80 HOURS
=> WORK DONE BY B IN 1 HOUR = 1/80
WORK DONE BY A AND B IN 1 HOUR = 1/96 + 1/80 = 11/480
=> A AND B CAN COMPLETE THE WORK IN 480/11 HOURS
A AND B WORKS 8 HOURS A DAY
HENCE TOTAL DAYS TO COMPLETE THE WORK WITH A AND B WORKING TOGETHER
= (480/11)/ (8) = 60/11 DAYS = 5 5⁄11 DAYS

Question 1499. P and Q can do a work in 30 days. Q and R can do the same work in 24 days and R and P in 20 days. They started the work together, but Q and R left after 10 days. How many days more will P take to finish the work?
  1.    10
  2.    8
  3.    18
  4.    19
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 18
LET WORK DONE BY P IN 1 DAY = P,
WORK DONE BY Q IN 1 DAY = Q,
WORK DONE BY R IN 1 DAY = R
P + Q = 1/30
Q + R = 1/24
R + P = 1/20
ADDING ALL THE ABOVE, 2P + 2Q + 2R = 1/30 + 1/24+ 1/20 = 15/120 = 1/8
=> P + Q + R = 1/16
=> WORK DONE BY P,Q AND R IN 1 DAY = 1/16
WORK DONE BY P, Q AND R IN 10 DAYS = 10 × (1/16) = 10/16 = 5/8
REMAINING WORK = 1 = 5/8 = 3/8
WORK DONE BY P IN 1 DAY = WORK DONE BY P,Q AND R IN 1 DAY – WORK DONE BY Q AND R IN 1 DAY
= 1/16 – 1/24 = 1/48
NUMBER OF DAYS P NEEDS TO WORK TO COMPLETE THE REMAINING WORK = (3/8) / (1/48) = 18
