Correct Answers
- Let the total Number of men in the other group be Y.
M1E1D1= M2E2D2
28*1*24= {(y-14)*1+14*2}*14
Y= 34Men
Option (C)
- Let the initial number of students=N
M1D1= M2D2
N*80 = 100*(N-10)
8N =10N-100
10N-8N=100
N= 50
Option (A)
- Part of the work completed in 4hours= 1/6+1/10+1/6+1/10=8/15
Remaining work= 1-8/15=7/15
Option (B)
- Suppose Tanmay can finish the task in ‘x’ days. So, tanmay and Jack can finish 1/x and 1/30 of task in a day respectively.
Let the number of days taken by them to finish the task together is
‘N’ days.
N/x+N/30=1
Or,N=1/[1/x+1/30]……..Equation (1)
And [(N-2)1.2/x]+[(N-2/30)]=1
Or, (N-2)=1/[(1.2/x)+(1/30)]…..Equation (2)
Equation (1) – Equation (2)
N-(N/2)=1/[1/x+1/30]-1/[(1.2/x) + (1/30)]
2= [(30x/x+30) – (30x/(x+36)]
Or,x2-24x+1080=0
Discriminant= 576-4(1080)<0;
Thus, no real roots, Such condition is not possible
- Let 1/R=x, 1/S=y and 1/T=z
x = (y+z)/3, 3x=y+z, z=(x+y)/2, 2z=x+y
x+y+z=1/32
3z=1/32, z=1/96
4x=1/32, x=1/128
1/128+y+1/96=1/32
Y=5/384=1/S
Sam will take 384/5 days to finish the work.
Option (C)
- Work done by Ranjeet in one day=1/6
Work done by Robert in one day=1/8
Work done by Ranjeet in 4days= (1/6)*4=2/3
Remaining work after fourth day= 1-2/3=1/3
Work done by Ranjeet and Robert together in one day=1/6+1/8=7/24
If they work,together time taken to complete 1/3 part of the work=
(1/3) ÷ (7/24)
=(1/3)*(24/7)
=8/7days
Total time taken to finish the work is = 4+8/7
=36/7=5(1/7)days
Option(D)
- Number of hours Faizal worked= 2+4=6hours
Rasheed worked for (4+20)=24hours
Let Faizal can complete the work alone in F hours and Rasheed can complete the work alone in R hours Per hour work of Faizal=1/F
And that of Rasheed=1/R
Therefore,
1/F+1/R=1/18
Or,18/F+18/R=1……..Equation (1)
As per question, Faizal worked for 6 hours and Rasheed for 24 hours
to complete the work
- 6*(1/F)+ 24*(R)=1…….Equation (2)
Operate (1) – 3x(2)
18/F+18/R-18/F-72/R=1-3
- -54/R= -2 => R = 27
On substituting the value of R in eq.(1) we get F=54
Option (D)
- Given that 5men= 15 womenè1man= 3women
5men can do the work in 80 days so 15 men do the work in 80*5/15=
80/3days
Work done by 15 men in a day=3/80
3women=1man => 12women= 4men
5 men can do the work in 80days so 4men can do the work in 80*5/4=
100days
i.e. work done by 12women(or 4men) in a day= 1/100
if 15 men and 12 women work on alternate days,
work done in 2 days=3/80+1/100=19/400
work done in 40 days= 19/400*20=380/400
In 41 days work completed =395/400
In 42 days work completed= 399/400
Rest of the work would be completed in 1/15days by 15men
So time taken to completed the work=631/15days
Option (B)
- Let total number of men after 32 days be X
Work completed in 32 days=2/3
Rate of work of one man= 2/(3*32*20)
Work left=1/3
- [2/(3*32*20)]*8*x=1/3
X=40. So, 20 extra men are required.
Option (D)
- LCM of 26,20 and 25=1300
Let the total work be 1300 unit
Let ‘m’ be the units of work done by 1 man in 1day
‘w’ be the units of work done by 1 woman in 1 day
And ‘c’ be the units of work done by 1 child in 1 day
26(12m+16w)=1300…….(1)
20(10w+18c)=1300……..(2)
25(8m+16c)=1300……….(3)
On solving equation (1), (2) and (3);
We get, m=1.5units, w=2units and c=2.5units
Work done on day 1=1.5+2+2.5=6*1units
Work done on day 2= (6+6*1)=6*2units
Work done on day 3 = 6*3units
Let the work is completed on nth day
6*1+6*2+…….+6n≥1300
6n(n+1)/2 ≥ 1300
3n(n+1) ≥1300
The smallest integer value of n satisfying the above equation will be the required number of days
For n=20
3n(n+1)=1260
For n=21
3n(n+1)=1386≥1300
Therefore, the work shall be finished on 21st day.
Option (B)
