A does half as much work as B in three-fourth of the time. If together they take 18 days to complete the work, how much time shall B take to do it

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Please note in this question, we need to answer part of work for a day rather than complete work. It was worth mentioning here because many do mistake at this point in hurry to solve the question

So lets solve now,
A's 1 day work = 1/18
B's 1 day work = 1/9 [because B take half time than A]

(A+B)'s one day work =

\begin{aligned}
\left(\frac{1}{18}+\frac{1}{9} \right) \\
=\left(\frac{1+2}{18} \right) \\
= \frac{1}{6}
\end{aligned}

So in one day 1/6 work will be done.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Work done by A in 20 days = 80/100 = 8/10 = 4/5

Work done by A in 1 day = (4/5) / 20 = 4/100 = 1/25 --- (1)

Work done by A and B in 3 days = 20/100 = 1/5 (Because remaining 20% is done in 3 days by A and B)

Work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/15 ---(2)

Work done by B in 1 day = 1/15 – 1/25 = 2/75

=> B can complete the work in 75/2 days = 37 (1/2) days

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let 1 man's 1 day work = x
and 1 woman's 1 days work = y.
Then, 4x + 6y = 1/8
and 3x+7y = 1/10
solving, we get y = 1/400 [means work done by a woman in 1 day]

10 women 1 day work = 10/400 = 1/40

10 women will finish the work in 40 days

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Suppose B takes x dáys to do the work.
As per question A will take
\begin{aligned}
2* \frac{3}{4} * x = \frac{3x}{2}days
\end{aligned}

(A+B)s 1 days work= 1/18
1/x + 2/3x = 1/18 or x = 30 days

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1:3
Means B will take 3 times which A will do in 1 time

If difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days
If difference of time is 10 days, B takes (3/2) * 10 =15 days
