  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    The sum of five numbers is $$555$$. The average of first two numbers is $$75$$ and the third number is $$115$$. What is the average of the last two numbers?
    Solution
    Let the five numbers be $$A, B, C, D, E$$
    Given, $$A + B + C + D + E =555$$
    $$\displaystyle \frac{A+B}{2} = 75 \Rightarrow A + B = 150 $$ and $$C = 115$$
    $$\therefore 150 + 115 + D + E = 555$$
    $$\Rightarrow D + E = 555 - 265 = 290$$
    $$\therefore$$ Required Average $$= \displaystyle \frac{D + E}{2} = \frac{290}{2} = 145$$
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    A tank can be filled by a tap in $$20$$ minutes and by another tap in $$60$$ minutes. Both the taps are kept open for $$10$$ minutes and then the first tap is shut off. After this, the tank will be completely filled in
    Solution
    Part of the tank filled by both the taps in 10 minutes $$= 10 \times \left( \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 20 } + \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 60 }  \right) = 10 \times \left( \displaystyle\frac { 3+1 }{ 60 }  \right) = \displaystyle\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$
    Remaining part $$ = 1 - \displaystyle\frac { 2 }{ 3 } = \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$
    $$\displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 60 }$$th part of the tank is filled by the second pipe in 1 min.
    $$\therefore     \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$rd of the tank will be filled by the second pipe in $$ 60 \times \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 3 } = 20$$  min.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    An electric pump can fill a tank in $$3$$ hours. Because of a leak in the tank, it took $$3\displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ hours to fill the tank. In how much time can the leak drain all the water of the tank?
    Solution
    Part of the tank filled by the pump in 1 hour $$= \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$
    Net part of the tank filled by the pump and the leak in 1 hour $$ = \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ \displaystyle\frac { 7 }{ 2 }  } = \displaystyle\frac { 2 }{ 7 }$$

    $$\therefore$$  Part of the tank emptied by the leak in 1 hour $$ = \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 3 } - \displaystyle\frac { 2 }{ 7 } = \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 21 }$$
    $$\therefore$$  The tank will be emptied by the leak in $$21$$ hours.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    $$A$$ and $$B$$ can do a job in $$12$$ days and $$B$$ and $$C$$ can do it in $$16$$ days. After $$A$$ has been working for $$5$$ days and $$B$$ for $$7$$ days, $$C$$ finishes rest of the work in $$13$$ days, in how many days can C do the work alone ?
    Solution
    A's 5 days work$$+$$ B's 7 days work $$+$$ C's 13 days work $$=$$1
    $$\therefore$$ $$(A+B)'s$$ 5 days work $$+$$ $$(B+C)'s$$ 2 days work $$+$$ C's 11 days work $$=$$ 1
    $$\therefore$$ $$\dfrac{5}{12}+\dfrac{2}{16}$$$$+$$ C's 11 days work$$=1$$
    $$\therefore$$ C's 11 days work$$=$$$$1-(\dfrac{5}{12}+\dfrac{2}{16}$$) $$=$$ $$\dfrac{11}{24}$$
    $$\therefore$$ C's 1 days work $$=$$$$ (\dfrac{11}{24} \times \dfrac{1}{11}$$) $$=\dfrac{1}{24}$$
    $$\therefore$$ C alone can finish the work in 24 days.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    $$A$$ can do a piece of work in $$7$$ days of $$9$$ hr each and $$B$$ can do it in $$6$$ days of $$7$$ hr each. How long will they take to do it working together $$\displaystyle \frac{42}{5}$$ hr a day?
    Solution
    A can do a piece of work in 7 days of 9 hr each or in 63 hrs.
    B can do it in 6 days of 7 hr each  or 42 hrs.
    So, in 1 hour, A can do 1/63 of the work and B can do 1/42 of the work.
    Together, they can finish 5/126 of the work in 1 hour or they work gets completed in 126/5 hrs.
    If they complete work in  42/5 hrs a day, they will take 3 days to complete the work working for 126/5 hours.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Machines $$A$$ and $$B$$ produce $$8,000$$ clips in $$4$$ hr and $$6$$ hr respectively. If they work alternately for $$1$$ hr A starting first, then the $$8,000$$ clips will be produced in:
    Solution

    (A+B)'s 2 hour's work$$=\left(\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{6} \right)=\dfrac{5}{12}$$

    (A+B)'s 4 hour's work$$=\dfrac{5}{12}\times 2=\dfrac{5}{6}$$

    Remaining work$$=1-\dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{1}{6}$$

    Now it is a's turn

    $$\because \dfrac{1}{4} $$work by A in=1 hours

    $$\therefore \dfrac{1}{6}$$ work done by A in $$=4\times \dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{2}{3}  hours$$

    $$\therefore$$ total time taken$$=4\dfrac{2}{3}=4.66 \  hours$$

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Ronald and Elan are working on an assignment Ronald takes $$6$$ hours to type $$32$$ pages on a computer while Elan takes $$5$$ hours to type $$40$$ pages. How much time will they take working together on two different computers to type an assignment of $$110$$ pages ?
    Solution

    Ronald work at a rate of 32 pages per 6 hrs$$=\dfrac{32}{6}=\dfrac{16}{3} pages/hr$$

    Elan work at a rate of  40 pages per 5 hr$$=\dfrac{40}{4}=8   Pages/hr$$

     

    If they  work together then they work at the rate of$$=\dfrac{16}{3}+8=\dfrac{40}{3}  pages/hr$$

    Let t time is required them to type 110 pages then

    $$\dfrac{40}{3}t=110$$

    $$40t=330$$

    $$t=\dfrac{330}{40}=\dfrac{33}{4}=8\dfrac{1}{4}=8  hr  15 min.$$

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    $$36$$ men can complete a piece of work in $$18$$ days. In how many days will $$27$$ men complete the same work?
    Solution

    $${\textbf{Step  - 1: Finding number of work units for the first case}}{\text{.}}$$

                      $${\text{Total 36 men work for a total of 18 days to complete it}}{\text{.}}$$

                      $${\text{So total work units}} = 36 \times 18  = 648$$

                      $${\text{Thus, for the first case ,it's a total of 648 work units}}{\text{.}}$$

    $${\textbf{Step  - 2: Finding number of days for the second case}}{\text{.}}$$

                      $${\text{Let it takes }}x{\text{ days for the workers to complete the task,so we can write}}$$

                      $${\text{Number of work units}} = 27  \times x = 27x$$

                      $${\text{Also, the work is same so the work units must be same}}$$

                      $${\text{So, equating the work units for the two cases, we get}}$$

                      $$648 = 27x$$

                      $$x = \dfrac{{648}}{{27}} = 24$$

    $${\textbf{Hence option D is correct}}$$

  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    $$A$$ does $$\displaystyle \frac{4}{5}$$th of work in $$20$$ days. He then calls in $$B$$ and they together finish the remaining work in $$3$$ days. How long $$B$$ alone would take to do the whole work ?
    Solution
    $$Let \, \,the \, \,total \, \,work \, \,be \, \,x.$$
    $$\therefore \, \, The \, \, speed \, \, at \, \, which \, \, amount \, \,of \, \,work \, \,A \, \,does \, \,in \, \,20 \, \,days \, \,is=\dfrac{x}{25}$$
    $$Let \, \,the \, \,speed \, \,of \, \,B \, \,be \, \,B \, \,work \, \,per \, \,day.$$
    $$Since,  \, \, the \, \, work \, \,done \, \,by \, \,A \, \,is \, \,\dfrac{4}{5}x$$
    $$\therefore \, \,Remaining \, \,work \, \,is \, \,x-\dfrac{4}{5}x=\dfrac{x}{5}$$
    $$If \, \,A \, \,and \, \,B \, \,work \, \,together \, \,then \, \,we \, \,have,$$

    $$\dfrac{\dfrac{x}{5}}{\dfrac{x}{25}+B}=3$$
    $$\therefore \, \, speed \, \, of \, \, B=\dfrac{2x}{75} \, \,work \, \,per \, \,day.$$
    $$If \, \,B \, \, alone \, \,works \, \, then \, \, the \, \,work \, \, will \, \,be \, \, completed \, \,in \, \,\dfrac{x}{\dfrac{2x}{75}}=\, \, 37 \dfrac{1}{2} \, \, days.$$

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    $$A$$ can do a certain work in the same time in which $$B$$ and $$C$$ together can do it. If $$A$$ and $$B$$ together could do it in $$10$$ days and $$C$$ alone in $$50$$ days, then $$B$$ alone could do it in
    Solution
    (A+B)'s 1 day's work$$=\dfrac{1}{10}$$
    C's 1 day's work$$=\dfrac{1}{50}$$
    (A+B+C)'s 1 day's work$$=\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{50}=\dfrac{6}{50}=\dfrac{3}{25}.....(I)$$
    According to the question
    A's 1 day's work=(B+C) 1day's work.........(II)
    From I and II we get
    $$2\times $$(A's  one  day's  work)$$=\dfrac{3}{25}$$
    A's one day's work$$=\dfrac{3}{50}$$
    $$\therefore$$ B's 1 day's work$$=\dfrac{1}{10}-\dfrac{3}{50}=\dfrac{2}{50}=\dfrac{1}{25}$$
    Hence B alone could do the work in 25 days.
