Question Detail
A piece of work can be done by 6 men and 5 women in 6 days or 3 men and 4 women in 10 days. It can be done by 9 men and 15 women in how many days ?
- 3 days
- 4 days
- 5 days
- 6 days
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
To calculate the answer we need to get 1 man per day work and 1 woman per day work.
Let 1 man 1 day work =x
and 1 woman 1 days work = y.
=> 6x+5y = 1/6
and 3x+4y = 1/10
On solving, we get x = 1/54 and y = 1/90
(9 men + 15 women)'s 1 days work =
(9/54) + (15/90) = 1/3
9 men and 15 women will finish the work in 3 days
1. Rahul and Sham together can complete a task in 35 days, but Rahul alone can complete same work in 60 days. Calculate in how many days Sham can complete this work ?
- 84 days
- 82 days
- 76 days
- 68 days
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
As Rahul and Sham together can finish work in 35 days.
1 days work of Rahul and Sham is 1/35
Rahul can alone complete this work in 60 days,
So, Rahul one day work is 1/60
Clearly, Sham one day work will be = (Rahul and Sham one day work) - (Rahul one day work)
\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{35} - \frac{1}{60} \\
= \frac{1}{84} \\
\end{aligned}
Hence Sham will complete the given work in 84 days.
2. A can do a certain job in 25 days which B alone can do in 20 days. A started the work and was joined by B after 10 days. The number of days taken in completing the wotk were ?
- \begin{aligned} 14\frac{2}{3}kmph \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 15\frac{2}{3}kmph \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 16\frac{2}{3}kmph \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 17\frac{2}{3}kmph \end{aligned}
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Work done by A in l0 days = (1/25) *10 = 2/5
Remaining work = 1 - (2/5) = 3/5
(A+B)s 1 days work = (1/25) + (1/20) = 9/100
9/100 work is done by them in 1 day.
hence 3/5 work will be done by them in (3/5)*(100/9)
= 20/3days.
Total time taken = (10 + 20/3) = 16*(2/3) days
3. A can finish a work in 18 days and B can do same work in half the time taken by A. then working together, what part of same work they can finish in a day
- 1\5
- 1\6
- 1\7
- 1\8
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.
4. A is twice as good as workman as B and together they finish a piece of work in 18 days. In how many days will B alone finish the work.
- 27 days
- 54 days
- 56 days
- 68 days
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
As per question, A do twice the work as done by B.
So A:B = 2:1
Also (A+B) one day work = 1/18
To get days in which B will finish the work, lets calculate work done by B in 1 day =
\begin{aligned}
=\left(\frac{1}{18}*\frac{1}{3} \right) \\
= \frac{1}{54}
\end{aligned}
[Please note we multiplied by 1/3 as per B share and total of ratio is 1/3]
So B will finish the work in 54 days
5. A is thrice as good a workman as B and takes 10 days less to do a piece of work than B takes. B alone can do the whole work in
- 15 days
- 10 days
- 9 days
- 8 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

We Solve This Question For This Method
6m+5w=6days-------------(1)
3m+4w=10 days-------------(2)
Equ(1) and Equ(2)
36m+30w
30m+40w
6m+10w or 10/6 or 5:3
so m=5 and w=3
put this value on equ (2)
3*5+4*3=10 or 27*10 or 270 totla work
so 9m+15w=?
9*5+15*3 or 45+45 or 90
total work/9men+15 woman
270/90=3 days.
