Two candles of the same length are
lighted at the same time. The first
isconsumed in 6 hours and the second in 4
hours. Assuming that each candle burns at
a constant rate, in how many hours after
being lighted was the first candle twice the
length of the second?

• Options : (1.) 3 hours


• (2) 7 hours
• (3) 11 hours
www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
Solution
• Let us try with options. Let us try with 3
hours. In 3 hours, the first is half burnt
(it is completely burnt in 6 hours). In 3
hours, the second is 3/4 finished (as it
is completely burnt in 4 hours).
• Thus second is 25% left, while the first
is 50% left, thus the first is double the
second candle. Answer.

work, the time required when
both of them work together on ajob
twice as big as the first,
Will be

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS


Solution
• The first takes 30 days, thus the second
takes 20 days.
• 1/30 + 1/20 = 50 / 600 = 1/12 or 12 days
will be required for similar work. But the
work is twice this work, therefore the dates
will be double – so 12*2 = 24 days will be
requied by the two working together.

Three factories of a corporation are
capable of manufacturing a
particular part of Car. Two of the

many days would it take to produce
a million parts with all the three
working simulltaneously? (Correct
to the nearest day)

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS


Solution
• The factories make as under:
• In one day:
• One day’s production: 100000/15 +
100000/15 + 130000/15 =22000

• A and B together can do a job in 12 days.
Had A done half of the job and then B, the
remaining half, the whole job would have
been carried out in 25 days. How much
time would it take for A and B separately
to do the job, if A is a better worker?

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS


Solution
• Let us assume that A takes 1/X days to
complete the work and B takes 1/y days to
complete the work.
• 1/ A + 1/B = 1/12
• Or X + Y = 1/12
• A + B = 50 (because they take 25 days total to
complete half work each, so to complete full
work each, it will take them 50 days. ) the
answer is 30 and 20 days. Thus A takes 30
days and B takes 20 days. Answer.

piece of work in 7 days,
which 25 men with 13 boys can do
in 2 days. What fraction
of the whole work, can be done in 1
day by 11 men with 20
boys?

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS


Solution…
• 8 M + 2 B = 1/7
• 25 M + 13B = ½ (solving these…)
• 104 M + 26B=13/7
• 50M + 26B = 1 (deduct the second from
1st)
54 M = 6/7 or M = 6/ (7*54) = 1/63 or 1 Man
will do it in 63 day.

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS


Solution …
• 8 *1/63 + 2 B = 1/7
• 2B = 1/7 – 8/63
• 2 B = 1/63
• B = 1/126 or 1 boy will do it in 126 days.
• 11/63 + 20 / 126
• =42/126 = 1/3 or 3 days will be required to
complete the work. In one day 1/3rd work

If 7 men or 8 women or 10 boys
can finish a piece of work in
24 days each of 9 hours, then find
how many men with the help of 4
women and 5 boys can finish the
work in 18 days eachof 6 hours.

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS


Solution …
• Let us convert 4 women into boys.
• 10/8 *4 = 5 boys.
• So now we have 5+5 = 10 boys.
• 10*24/18* 9/6 = 20
• Thus 20 boys are required, but we have
10 boys, so 10 more boys are required. 10
boys are equal to 7 men, so 7 more men
are required to complete the work.

30% above the cost price. If he
allows a discount of 3 paise per
rupee off the marked price, then
what percentage of profit does he
make?
• Let us assume the cost to be Rs. 100.
• Print price = 130.
• Discount = 3% of 130 = 3.9
• Net price realised = 130-3.9 = 126.1

A man sold 250 chairs and has a
gain equal to selling price of 50
chairs. What is his profit percent?

• Let us assume that selling price of a chair is Re. 1


each.
• Total sales collected = 250

volume increases by 20%. what is
the overall gain/loss to
the dealer?

A cistern has a leak which can
empty it in 4 hours. A pipe
which admits 20 litres of water per
hour into the cistern is turned on
and now the cistern is emptied in 6
hours. What is the capacity of the
cistern?
• Capacity of pipe to fill cistern (when there
is no leak) ¼ - 1/6 = 2/24 = 1/12

• A swimming pooi is fitted with three pipes. The
first two pipes, working simultaneously. fill the
pool in the same time as the third pipe alone.
The second pipe alone fills the pool 5 hours
faster than the first pipe and 4 hours slower than
the third pipe. In what time will the second and
third pipes together fill the pool?
• (1) 3 hours (2) 3.75 hours
• (3) 4 hours (4) 4.5 hours

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS


SOLUTION
• Let us assume the speed of 3rd pipe is X.
• Second pipe = (X + 4)
• First pipe = (X+5 +4) = X +9
• 1/(X+4) + 1/(X +9) = 1/X
• (2X +13) / (X^2+13X +36) = 1/x
• 2X^2 +13X = X^2 +13X +36
• X^2 = 36 or X = 6
• Thus we have 2nd pipe with 10 and 3rd pipe
with 6 hour capacity.
• 1/6 + 1/10 = or 60/16 = 3.75 hours.

When the cistern had no leak, it was filled
in 2.5 hours. It now takes half an hour
longer. If the cistern is full of water, then
how long would it take to empty itself if
water starts leakIng out at double the
usual rate once the cistern is half empty?
• (1) 11 hrs 25 mm (2) 10 hrs 15 m
• (3) 3.75 hrs (4) 11 hrs 15 minutes
www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
Solution
• 1/ (2.5) – 1/3 = .5/7.5 or = 15 hours will be
taken by the leak to empty the cistern.
• However, once it is half empty, its speed
will double. It will be half empty in 7.5
hours. Thus subsequently, it will take half
of the usual time:
• 3 hours 45 minutes.
• Thus total time = 11 hours and 15

• (1) 16 (2) 15
• (3) 12 (4) 20

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS


Solution
• 3 hours = 180 minutes
• Break = 4*10 = 40
• Time per patient = 140 / 5 = 28 minutes
• Total time : 10 hours *60 = 600 minutes
• 600 – 28 = 572
• Now dividing 572 / (28+10) = 15
• Thus the doctor checks 15+1 = 16
