Correct Answers 

  1. Option D.

12M + 16B = 10 days … (i)

18M + 50B = 5 days

= 9M + 25B = 10 days … (ii)

From (i) & (ii)

We have

12M + 16B = 9M + 25B

3M = 9B

1M = 3B

So, Efficiency of a man to that of a boy = 3 : 1

 

  1. Option C. 4 days
  2. A = 6 hr  , B = 2hr

Let the capacity of tank = 12 litres

Rate of filling of tank by pipe A = 12/6  = 2 litre per hour

and rate of filling of tank by pipe B =  12/2  = 6 litre per hour

  • Rate of filling of tank by pipe A & B together = 8 litre per hour

Now, Pipe B was opened ½  hour earlier than pipe A.

Volume of tank filled by pipe B in  ½ hour = 3 litre

 

-Remaining part of the tank which is still empty = (12 – 3) litre = 9 litre

Time required to fill 9 litre of tank by pipe A & B together = 9/8 hr = 1 hr 7.5 min

Required point of time = 2 : 30 pm + 1 hour 7.5 mins = 3 : 37.5 pm

 

  1. Option B.

Let- hour = time taken by pipe A alone to empty the pool

2x hr. = time taken by pipe B alone to empty the pool

So,

  1. Option D.

Required time = 60 × 40 / 60-40 = 2400/20  =120 min.

 

  1. Option D.

(x-1)  (x+1)  / ( x+2)  (x-1)  = 9/10

             10x + 10 9x + 18 = 8

 

  1. Option D.

A   20                   3

60

B   15                     4

_

7

Work done by  (A+B)  in 6 days  = 7 × 6 = 42

Work done by  (A+C)  in 4 days  = 60-42 = 18

Work done by  A  in 4 days  =  3 × 4 = 12

So, Work done by  C  in 4 days  = 18-12 = 6

So, time taken by C alone to complete the work =  4/6  × 60  = 40 days

 

8.Option C.

( A + B )’s 5 day work +  (B+C)’s  5 days’ work = 1

5/10 +  5/18 + 10/x  =  1

X = 45 days

 

9.Option C.

A  :  B :  C

Effi. =             3 :  2  :  6

No of days = 2 :  3  :  1

No of days taken by A = 12

No of days taken by B = 18

No of days taken by C = 6

1 day work of A+B =  5/36

1 day work of B+C= 8/36

1 day work of C+A= 9/36

Days 1 2 3 4 5 6
1 days’ work 5/36 8/36 9/36 5/36 8/36 9/36

 

No of days taken by AC for the rest of the work = 1/36  ÷ 9/36 = 1/9

So total time taken to complete the work= 5 + 1/9  = 5 1/9 days

10.Option A.

Filling done by all 3 pipes  in 3 min  =  3/20  +  3/10  + 3/30  = 11/20

Filling done by 2nd pipe in 3 min  = 3 /10

So , required  ratio = 3/10  ̸  11/20 =  6/11 .
