Answer Key
- e
Let Popeye can alone complete the work in x days
Work done by Popeye in 9 days = 9/x of the complete work
Work left =1- 9/x=(x-9)/x
1/30 of the work is done by pope in 1 day
(x-9)/x of the work is done by Popeye in 1 day
30 =16× (x-9)/x
30x = 16x-144
14x = 144
X = 10 2/7
So, Popeye can alone complete the work in 10 2/7 days.
- c
Let work done by Damon = x%
Work done by Oliver = y%
Total number of days required to complete the work =2× 100/25=8
X+y = 25/2
also, 2x+y/3=25/2
Solving them,
Y = 7.5 , x = 5
So, 100% of the work will be completed by Damon alone in 20 days.
Required difference = 20-8 =12 days.
- b
Let the total number of people = x
12x = (x+(x-4)+(x-8)+(x-12)+(x-16)+(x-20)+….18 times)
12x = 18x – 4 (1+2+3+…17)
6x = 4×17× 18/2
X = 102
- e
Pipe A can fill the tank when its efficiency is 100% =30× 60/100=18 hours
Pipe B can fill the tank in 54 hours.
When both the pipes operate simultaneously.
Time = (54×18)/(54+18)=13.5 hours.
- c
10 men can do 2/3 of work in 10 days
10 men can do complete work in =10× 3/2=15 days
10M×15 = 150 men can do work in one day
5 Women can do 3/8 of work in 9 days
5 women can do complete work in =9× 8/3=24 days
5W×24 = 120 women can do work in one day
150M = 120 W
M = 4/5×W
5M =5× 4/5 W=4W
(4+2) W × days = 120 W
Days = 20 So, 80% of the work can be done in 20× 4/5=16 days
- b
Let initially 100 units of work were done by 100 workers in 1 day, so efficiency of each worker was 1%
Now the work becomes 190 units.
So, they need to complete 190 units of work in 1 day.
So, the 100 workers do the 100 units of work
The remaining x new workers need to this 90 units of work in 1 day whose efficiency is 1.5 %each
So, number of new workers needed = 90/1.50=60 newworkersneeded.
So, percent by which workers need to be increased = 60/100×100=60%
- b
10×M ×48 = W×16×60
M = 2W
So, 1 man work = 2 women work.
So, total work done by 8+10 = 18 men in 20 days = 18×20 = 360
Total required work = 10×48 =480
Work left =120
30 men can complete this in 4 days
So, women required = 60 [since 1 man work = 2 women work]
- a
84 men days + 56 women days = 80 men days + 70 women days.
4 men days = 14 women days
1 man day = 3.5 women days
Total work = 80 men days + 70 women days = 350 women days.
1 man day + 1 women day = 4.5 women days
Number of days = 3500/45=700/9 days
- b
One day’s work
1/p+1/Q+1/R=1/8
Also,
6 (1/P+1/Q+1/R)+ 6 (1/Q+1/R)= 1
6/8+6 (1/Q+1/R)= 1
1/Q+1/R=1/24
1/P=1/8-1/24
1/p=1/12
P= 12 days.
- a
After 10 days, 400 men hours, only 10% of the work has been completed.
To complete the work in time, rest 90 % work must be completed in 20 days.
Man days required = 3600.
Hence he requires 180 men to work for 20 days
He must hire 140 extra men
If he hired 180 men from the beginning, number of days required = 4000/180=200/9 days.
- Alone work of Each Person
(A+B)’s one day work=1/80;
(B+C)’s one day work=1/60;
(C+D)’s one day work=1/40;
(D+E)’s one day work=1/20
A’s one day work=1/120
Now, According to question,
B’s one day work=1/80-1/120=1/240
C’s one day work=1/60-1/240=1/80
D’s one day work=1/40-1/80=1/80
E’s one day s work=1/20-1/80=3/80
According to question,
(A+B+C)’s one day work=1/120+1/240+1/80=(2+1+3)/240=6/240=1/40
Required Answer, E alone works to finish,
E=(1/40)/(3/80)=1/40×(80/3)=2/3 of the work
Ans=c)2/3
- (B+C+D)’s one days work=1/240+1/80+1/80=7/240
According to quesiton,
(B+C+D)’s three days work=7/240×3=7/80
Then, remaining work, =1-7/80=73/80
Required answer is,
(73/80)/(1/80+1/80+3/80)=73/80×80/5=73/5=14 3/5 days
Ans=d) 14 3/5 days
- A’s one day work=1/120;
C’s one day work=1/80;
D’s one day work=1/80
According to question,
work done in first 3 days,
=1/120+1/80+1/80=(2+3+3)/240=8/240=1/30
Time taken to complete 1/30 part of work=30 days
Required Answer, (Time taken to complete the whole work)
=3×30=90 days
Ans=a) 90 days
- According to question,
A’s one day work=90% of 1/120=90/100×1/120=3/400
B’s one day work=75% of 1/240=75/100×1/240=1/320
C’s one day work=80% of 1/80=80/100×1/80=1/100
(A+B+C)’s one day’s work=3/400+1/320+1/100=(12+5+16)/1600=33/1600
Hence, time taken by them to complete the work=1600/33=48 16/33
Ans=c) 48 16/33 days.
- Time taken to complete the work by C
=80×4=320 days
Time taken to complete the work by
D=80×100/40=200 days
Time taken to complete the work by E
=800/3×3=800 days
- Number of students attended chess, hockey and cricket from school C =14%+41%+12%=67%
Number of students attended football, cricket and tennis from school E= 20%+25%+20%=65%
Total students in school E= 160
67% of School C = 65% of school E
67% of school C=65/100×160=104
Total students in school C =104/67×100=155.22≈155
Students attended tennis from School C=20% of 155
=20/100 ×155=31
- Number of students attended hockey tournament from school A=15% of school A
Number of students attended football and
Cricket tournament from school D = 37% of school D
15% of school A= 37% of school D
Required percentage =(school D total )/(school A total)×100
=(15/37)A /A×100=15/37×100=40 20/37%
- Number of students attended football from B =52
Number of students attended hockey from B=52/25×21=44
Number of students attended chess tournament from school C=15+52/25×11=38Number of students attended tennis from school C=38/14×20=54
Required percentage =(54-44)/54×100=19% (approx.)
- Difference between the number of students who attended football and number of students who attended cricket from school E = (25%-20%) = 5% of school E
Total students from school E=25/5×100=500
Total students from school B = 500×1.4=700
Number of students attended football from school B=25/100×700=175
- Number of students attended tennis from school C=80
Total number of students from school C=80/20×100=400
Number of students attended cricket from school C=12/100×400=48
