Ramesh alone finish 1/2of the work in 10 days.
Remaining 1/2 of the job was finished by Ramesh and Dinesh together in 2 days.Correct Option: A
Ramesh alone finish 1/2of the work in 10 days.
Remaining 1/2 of the job was finished by Ramesh and Dinesh together in 2 days.
Therefore, they both together can finish the complete job in 4 days.

(A + B)'s 20 day's work = (20 x 1/30) = 2/3
Remaining work = (1 - 2/3) = 1/3
1/3 work is done by A in 20 daysCorrect Option: D
(A + B)'s 20 day's work = (20 x 1/30) = 2/3
Remaining work = (1 - 2/3) = 1/3
1/3 work is done by A in 20 days
Whole work can be done by A in (3 x 20) days = 60 days.
- Two workers A and B working together completed a job in 5 days. If A worked twice as efficiently as he actually did and B worked 1 / 3 as efficiently as he actually did the work, then they would have completed the work in 3 days. Find the time for A to complete the job alone ?

Efficiency is proportional to work done per day. Work done per day N number of days
= Amount of work done. Considering efficience of A and B initially as 1.
Let A alone can do the work in M days and B alone can do the same work in N days.
Then, 5/M + 5/N = Total work done = 1
Since efficiency of A and B are 2 and 1/3 respectively
⇒ 6/M + 1/N = 1 ....(i)
and 1/M + 1/N = 5 .....(ii)Correct Option: B

Now, subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we have M = 25/4 = 61/4 days.
- 16 men and 12 women together complete a work in 20 days. If 18 women complete the same work in 40 days. Then how many days will be taken by 12 men and 27 women together to complete the same work ?

∵ In 20 days the work is completed by = 16 men + 12 women
∴ In 1 day the work is completed by = 20 x (16 men + 12 women )
= 320 men + 240 women
In 40 days the work is complete by 18 women
∴ 1 day the work is complete by = 18 x 40 = 720 women
∵ 720 women = 320 men + 240 women
⇒ (720 - 240)women = 320 men
⇒ 480 women = 320 menCorrect Option: D
∵ In 20 days the work is completed by = 16 men + 12 women
∴ In 1 day the work is completed by = 20 x (16 men + 12 women )
= 320 men + 240 women
In 40 days the work is complete by 18 women
∴ 1 day the work is complete by = 18 x 40 = 720 women
∵ 720 women = 320 men + 240 women
⇒ (720 - 240)women = 320 men
⇒ 480 women = 320 men
∴ 1 men = 480/320 = 3/2 women
∴ 12 men + 27 women = 12 x (3/2) + 27 = 45 women
∵ 18 women complete work in 40 days
∴ 45 women complete 1 work = 40 x 18/45 = 16 days
- Ganesh, Ram and Sohan together can do a work in 16 days. If Ganesh and Ram together can do the same work in 24 days then, how long will take Sohan alone to do the same work ?

∵ Work of (Ganesh, Ram and Sohan) for 1 day = 1/16
and work of Ganesh and Ram for 1 day = 1/24
⇒ Work of Sohan for 1 day = 1/16 - 1/24 = 1/48Correct Option: D
∵ Work of (Ganesh, Ram and Sohan) for 1 day = 1/16
and work of Ganesh and Ram for 1 day = 1/24
⇒ Work of Sohan for 1 day = 1/16 - 1/24 = 1/48
∴ Sohan alone will complete the work in = 1/(1/48) days = 48 days.
