Q. 48. A works twice as fast as B. if B can complete a work in 12 days independently, the number of days in
which A and B can together finish the work is:
Ans: (a) 4 days
Explanation:
That is, if b alone can finish the work in 12 days,
A alone can finish the work in 6 days.
Therefore,
A and B can together finish the work in 6 12/18 days = 4 days. Ans.
Q. 49. A is twice as good a workman as B and together they finish a piece of work in 14 days. The number of
days taken by A alone to finish the work is:
Ans: (b) 21
Explanation:
As work is twice as Bs work
So, we can consider 2A = B
Then, A 2A/ A+ 2A = 14
2A A/ 3A = 14
2 A = 14 3
A = 21 days. i.e. A alone can finish the work in 21 days. Ans.
Q. 50. A is thrice as good a workman as B and therefore is able to finish a job in 60 days less than B. Working
together, they can do it in:
Ans: (b) 22 days
Explanation:
That is, 3A = B, replacing 3 A in place of B, we get
3A A = 60 days
A = 30 days, i.e. A alone can finish the work in 30 days
Then, B alone can finish the work in 3 30 = 90 days
Therefore, working together they can finish it in 30 90/ 120 days. = 22 days. Ans.
Q. 51. A and B can do a job together in 7 days. A is 1 times as efficient as B. the same job can be done by A
alone in:
(a) 9 1/3 days (b) 11 days (c) 12 days (d) 16 1/3 days (e) None of these
Ans: (b) 11 days
Explanation:
1 = 7/4
7/4 A = B, replacing B by 7/4 A, we get

A 7/4 A/ A + 7/4 A = 7days
7 A A/4 / 11A/4 = 7 A A/ 11 A = 7A /11 = 7
A = 77/7 = 11, So, A alone can finish the work in 11 days. Ans.
Q. 52. Sakshi can do a piece of work in 20 days. Tanya is 25% more efficient than Sakshi. The number of days
taken by Tanya to do the same piece of work is:
Ans: (b) 16
Explanation:
The ratio of their efficiency, i.e. Sakshi : Tannya = 100 : 125 = 4 : 5
Therefore, ratio of time taken by them = 5 : 4
That is, No. of days taken by Sakshi is 5 units of ratio = 20 days
So, 1 unit of ratio = 20/5 = 4 days
Therefore, No. of days taken by Tannya = 4 4 = 16 days. Ans.
Q. 53. A is 30% more efficient than B. How much time will they, working together, take to complete a job which
A alone could have done in 23 days?
(a) 11 days (b) 13 days (c) 20 3/17 days (d) 14 days (e) None of these
Ans: (b) 13 days
Explanation:
The ratio of their efficiency = A : B = 130 : 100 = 13 : 10
Therefore, the ratio of the time taken by them = 10 : 13
A takes 23 days = 10 units of ratio
So, 1 unit of ratio = 23/10
Time taken by B alone to finish the work = 23/10 13 = 29.9 = 30 days
Therefore, the No. of days taken to finish the work working together = 23 30/ 53
= 13 days. Ans.
Q. 54. 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 ?
Ans: (a) 30 days
Explanation:
That is , A = 3B/2/1/2 = 3B/2
Replacing A by 3B/2, we get
3B/2 B/3B/2 + B = 18 days
3 B B/5B =18
3B = 90
B = 30 days, B alone can finish the work in 30 days. Ans.
Q. 55. A can do a work in 15 days and B in 20 days. If they work on it together for 4 days, then the fraction of
the work that is left is:
(a) (b) 1/10 (c) 7/15 (d) 8/15 (e) None of these
Ans: (d) 8/15
Explanation:
Working together, the No. of days taken by them to finish the work = 15 20/35
= 60/7 days.
Then, their 1 days work = 7/60
Their, 4 days work = 7 4/60 = 7/15 of the total work
Therefore, the fraction of the work, that is left = 1- 7/15 = 8/15. Ans.
Q. 56. A can finish a work in 18 days and B can do the work in 15 days. B worked for 10 days and left the job.
In how many days, A alone can finish the remaining work
Ans: (c) 6 days
Explanation:
Bs one days work = 1/15
Bs 10 days work = 1/15 10 = 2/3
Remaining work = 1/3
As 1 day work = 1/18
No. of days A take to finish 1/3 of the work = 1/3/1/18 = 1/3 18 = 6 days. Ans.
Q. 57. A and B can complete a work in 15 days and 10 days respectively. They started doing the work together
but after 2 days B had to leave and A alone completed the remaining work. The whole work was completed in:
Ans: (c) 12 days
Explanation:
No. of days taken by them working together = 15 10/25 = 6 days
Their 1 days work = 1/6
Their 2 days work = 1/6 2 = 1/3
The work remaining = 2/3
As 1 day work = 1/15
Time taken by A to finish 1/3 of the work = 2/3/1/15 = 2/3 15 = 10 days
Therefore, the total number of days taken to finish the whole work = 10 +2 = 12 days. Ans.
Q. 58. A can finish a work in 24 days, B in 9 days and C in 12 days. B and C start the work but are forced to
leave after 3 days. The remaining work was done by A in:
Ans: (c) 10 days
Explanation:
No. of days taken by B and C together to finish the work = 9 12/21 = 36/7 days
Their 1 day work = 7/36
So, their 3 days work = 7/36 3 = 7/12
The remaining work = 5/12
As 1 days work = 1/24
To finish the remaining 5/12 of the work, the No. of days taken by A = 5/12/1/24
= 5/12 24= 10 days. Ans.
Q. 59. A machine P can print one lakh books in 8 hours, machine Q can print the same number of books in 10
hours while machine R can print them in 12 hours. All the machines are started at 9 a.m. while machine P is
closed at 11 a.m. and the remaining two machines complete the work. Approximately at what time will the work
be finished?
(a) 11: 30 a.m. (b) 12 noon (c) 12:30 p.m. (d) 1 p.m. (e) None of these
Ans: (d) 1 p.m.
Explanation:
The three machines 1 hours work = 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/12 = 37/120
Their, work from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. = 2 hours work = 37/120 2= 27/60
Machines Q and Rs 1 hours work = 1/10 + 1/12 = 11/60
Therefore, the time taken by Q and R to finish the remaining 23/60 work = 23/60/11/60
= 23/60 60/11 = 23/11 = 2 hours approx.
Therefore, the approximate time at which the work is finished = 11 + 2 = 1 p.m. Ans.
Q. 60. A and B can do a piece of work in 30 days, while B and C can do the same work in 24 days and C and A
in 20 days. They all work together for 10 days when B and C leave. How many days more will A take to finish
work?
Ans: (a) 18 days
Explanation:
i.e. 2 ( A + B + C) s 1 days work = 1/30 + 1/24 + 1/20 = 1/8
their 1 days work = 1/8/2 = 1/16
their 10 days work = 1/16 10 = 5/8
the remaining work = 3/8
As 1 days work = 1/16 1/24 = 1/48
Therefore, the No. of days A alone will take to complete 3/8 of the work = 3/8/ 1/48
= 3/8 48 = 3 6 = 18 days. Ans.
Q. 61. X and Y can do a piece of work in 20 days and 12 days respectively. X started the work alone and then
after 4 days Y joined him till the completion of the work. How long did the work last?
Ans: (b) 10 days
Explanation:
Xs 1 days work = 1/20
Xs 4 days work = 1/20 4 = 1/5
X and Ys 1 day work = 1/20 + 1/12 = 4/30 = 2/15
Therefore, Both together finish the remaining work in 4/5/2/15 days
= 4/5 15/2 = 6 days
Therefore, the total number of days taken to finish the work = 4 + 6 = 10 days. Ans.
Q. 62. A and B can together finish a work in 30 days. They worked together for 20 days and then B left. After
another 20 days, A finished he remaining work. In how many days A alone can finish the job?
Ans: (d) 60
Explanation:
A + B s 1 days work = 1/30
Their 20 days work = 1/30 20 = 2/3
1/3 of the work is done by A in 20 days.
Then, whole work can be done by A in 3 20 = 60 days. Ans.
Q. 63. X can do a piece of work in 40 days. He works at it for 8 days and then Y finished it in 16 days. How long
will they together take to complete the work?
(a) 13 1/3 days (b) 15 days (c) 20 days (d) 56 days (e) None of these
Ans: (a) 13 1/3 days
Explanation:
As 8 days work = 1/40 8 = 1/5
4/5 of the work is finished by Y in 16 days
So, Y can finish the whole work alone in 16 5/4 days = 20days
They both together can finish it in 40 20/60 =13 1/3 days. Ans.
Q. 64. A does 4/5 of a work in 20 days. He then calls in B and they together finish the remaining work in 3 days.
How long B alone would take to do the whole work?

Ans: (c) 37 days
Explanation:
A alone can finish the work in 20 5/4 days = 25 days
A and B together can finish the whole work in 5 3 days = 15 days
Their 1 days work = 1/15
Therefore, Bs 1 days work = 1/15 1/25 = 1/37
Therefore, B alone can finish the whole work in 37 days.Ans.
Q. 65. A and B together can do a piece of work in 30 days. A having worked for 16 days, B finishes the
remaining work alone in 44 days. In how many days shall B finish the whole work alone?
Ans: (c) 60 days
Explanation:
A + Bs 1 days work = 1/30
i.e. A + B = 1/30 --------- (i)
16 A + 44 B = 1 ------ (ii) ( i.e. 1 = the whole work done)
Multiplying (i) by 16 and subtracting it from (ii), we get
i.e. 16 A + 44 B = 1
16 A + 16B = 8/15
28 B =7/15
B = 1/60 i.e. Bs 1 days work = 1/60
Therefore, B alone can finish the work in 60 days. Ans.
Q. 66. A and B together can do a piece of work in 12 days, which B and C together can do in 16 days. After A
has been working at it for 5 days and B for 7 days, C finishes it in 13 days. In how many days C alone will do
the work?
Ans: (b) 24
Explanation:
According to the question,
A + Bs 1 days work = 1/12
B+ Cs 1 days work = 1/16
A worked for 5 days, B for 7 days and C for 13 days. So, we can assume that,
A+ B has been working for 5 days and B+ C has been working for 2 days and C alone for 11 days.
i.e. As 5 days work + Bs 7 days work + Cs 13 days work = 1
(A+ B)s 5 days work + (B + C)s 2 days work + Cs 11 days work = 1
5/12 + 2/16 + Cs 11 days work = 1
So, Cs 11 days work = 1 (5/12 + 2/16) = 11/24
Cs 1 days work = 11/24/11 = 1/24
Therefore, C alone can finish the work in 24 days. Ans.
Q. 67. A and B can do a piece of work in 45 days and 40 days respectively. They began to do the work together
but A leaves after some days and then B completed the remaining work in 23 days. The number of days after
which A left the work was:
Ans: (c) 9
Explanation:
A and B together can finish the work in 45 40/85 = 360/17 days

A and Bs 1 days work = 17/360
Bs 1 days work = 1/40
Bs 23 days work 1/40 23 = 23/40
Remaining work = 1 23/40 = 17/40
17/40 of the work is done by A and B together
17/40 of the work is done by A and B together in = 17/40/17/360 = 17/40 360/17 days
= 9 days.
Therefore, A left after 9 days. Ans.
Q. 68. A can do a piece of work in 20 days which B can do in 12 days. B worked at it for 9 days. A can finish the
remaining work in:
Ans: (b) 5 days
Explanation:
A s 1 days work = 1/20
Bs 9 days work = 1/12 9 =
Remaining work =
A can finish the remaining work in = 1/4/1/20 = 20 = 5 days. Ans.
Q. 69. A and B together can complete a work in 3 days. They start together. But, after 2 days, B left the work. If
the work is completed after 2 more days, B alone could do the work in
Ans: (b) 6 days
Explanation:
A and Bs 1 days work = 1/3
Their 2 days work = 1/3 2 = 2/3
1/3 of the work is finished by A in 2 days
Then, the whole work can be finished by A alone in 3 2 = 6 days
So, As 1 days work = 1/6
Therefore, Bs 1 days work = 1/3 1/6 = 1/6
Therefore, the whole work can be done B alone in 6 days. Ans.
Q. 70. A man, a woman and a boy together complete a piece of work in 3 days. If a man alone can do it in 6
days and a boy alone in 18 days, how long will a woman take to complete the work?
Ans: (a) 9 days
Explanation:
(Man + Boy + Woman)s 1 days work = 1/3
Mans 1days work = 1/6
Boys 1 days work = 1/18
Then, Woman 1 days work = 1/3 ( 1/6 + 1/18) = 1/3 4/18 =2/18 = 1/9
Therefore, the Woman alone can finish the work in 9 days. Ans.
Q. 71. A can do 1/3 of a work in 5 days and B can do 2/5 of the work in 10 days. In how many days both A and
B together can do the work?

A and B together can finish the work in 15 25/ 40 days = 9 3/8 days. Ans.
Q. 72. A and B can do a piece of work in 12 days; B and C can do it in 15 days and C and A can do it in 20
days. A alone can do the work in:
(a) 15 2/3 days (b) 24 days (c) 30 days (d) 40 days (e) None of these
Ans: (c) 30 days
Explanation:
2 (A + B + c)s 1 days work = 1/12 + 1/15 + 1/20 = 12/60 = 1/5
A + B + Cs 1 days work = 1/5/2 = 1/10
As 1 days work = 1/10 (B + C)s 1 days work = 1/10 1/15 = 1/30
Therefore, A alone can finish the work in 30 days. Ans.
Q. 73. A and B together can complete a piece of work in 8 days while B and C together can do it in 12 days. All
the three together can complete the work in 6 days. In how much time will A and C together complete the work?
Ans: (a) 8 days
Explanation:
As 1 days work = A + B + Cs 1 days work B + Cs 1 days work = 1/6 1/12
= 1/12
Bs 1 days work = A + Bs 1 days work As 1 days work = 1/8 1/12= 1/24
Cs 1 days work = B+ Cs 1 days work Bs 1 days work = 1/12 1/24 = 1/24
A +B 1 days work = 1/12 + 1/24 = 3/24
Therefore, A and C together will finish the whole work in 24/3 = 8 days. Ans.
Q. 74. A can do a work in 4 days, B can do it in 5 days and C can do it in 10 days. A, B and C together can do

Q. 80. A certain number of men complete a piece of work in 60 days. If there were 8 men more, the work could
be finished in 10 days less. How many men were originally there?
Ans: (b) 40
Explanation:
Let x be the original number of men
Then 1 work done = x 60
Then, 60x = (x + 8) 50
60x = 50x + 400
10 x = 400
x = 40. Ans.
Q. 81. 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?
Ans: (a) 30 days
Explanation:
Let x be the number of days taken by B alone to finish the whole work
Then, A alone will finish the whole work in 3x/4 2 days = 3x/2 days.
Then, working together,
3x/2 x/3x/2 + x = 18 days
3x x/5x = 18
3x/5 = 18
Therefore, the number of days taken by B = x = 18 5/3 = 30 days. Ans.
Q. 82. A and B can finish a piece of work in 12 days and 18 days respectively. A begins to do the work and they
work alternately one at a time for one day each. The whole work will be completed in
(a) 14 1/3 days (b) 15 2/3 days (c) 16 1/3 days (d) 18 2/3 days (e) None of these
Ans: (a) 14 1/3 days
Explanation:
Both of them together can finish the work (daily working) in 12 18/30 days = 36/5
= 7 1/5 days.
By working in alternate days, their 2 days work = 5/36
Their, 14 days work (because they take more than double of 7 days) = 5/36 7
= 35/36
Remaining work = 1 35/36 = 1/36
Because A started the work, the remaining work is finished by A
Therefore, the No. of days taken by A to finish 1/36 work = 1/36/1/12 = 1/3 days.
Therefore, the total work is completed in 14 + 1/3 = 14 1/3 days. Ans.
Q. 83. A can do a piece of work in 14 days which B alone can do in 21 days. They begin together but 3 days
before the completion of the work, A leaves off. The total number of days for the work to be completed is
(a) 6 3/5 days (b) 8 days (c) 10 1/5 days (d) 13 days (e) None of these
Ans: (c) 10 1/5 days
Explanation:
Bs 3 days work = 1/21 3 = 1/7
The remaining work finished by both of them = 1 1/7 = 6/7
Both together can finish it in 14 21/35 days = 42/5 days
Their, 1 days work = 5/42
Therefore, the No. of days taken by them together to finish 6/7 work
= 6/7/5/42 = 6/7 42/5 = 36/5 = 7 1/5 days
Therefore, the total No. of days for the work to be completed = 3 + 7 1/5 = 10 1/5 days. Ans.
Q. 84. A and B can finish a piece of work in 30 days. They worked at it for 20 days and then B left. The
remaining work was done by A alone in 20 more days. A alone can finish the work in
Ans: (d) 60 days
Explanation:
(A + B)s 1 days work = 1/30
Their 20days work = 1/30 20 = 2/3
Remaining 1/3 work is done by A in 20 days
Therefore, A alone can finish the work in 3 20 = 60 days. Ans.
Q. 85. 10 women can complete a work in 8 days and 10 children take 12 days to complete the work. How many
days will 6 women and 3 children together take to complete the work?
Ans: (e) None of these
Explanation:
1 womens 1 days work = 1/8/10 = 1/80
1 childs 1 days work = 1/12/10 = 1/120
6 womens 1 days work = 1/80 6 = 3/40
3 childrens 1 days work = 1/120 3 = 1/40

6 womens + 3 childrens 1 days work = 3 /40 + 1/40 = 1/10
Therefore, they will finish the whole work in 10 days. Ans.
Q. 86. 9 children can complete a piece of work in 360 days; 18 men can complete the same piece of work in 72
days and 12 women can complete it in 162 days. In how many days can 4 men, 12 women and 10 children
together complete the piece of work?
Ans: (b) 81 days
Explanation:
1 childs 1 days work = 1/360 9 = 1/3240
10 childrens 1 days work = 1/324
1 mans 1 days work = 1/72 18 = 1/1296
4 mens 1 days work = 1 4/1296 = 1/324
12 womens 1 days work = 1/162 given
Then, (4 men + 12 women + 10 children)s 1 days work = 1/324 + 1/162 + 1/324
= 1/324 + 2/324 + 1/324 = 4/324 = 1/81
Therefore, the required No. of days = 81 days. Ans.
Q. 87. 9 men working 7 hours a day can complete a piece of work in 15 days. How many days can 6 men
working for 9 hours a day, complete the same piece of work?
Ans: (d) 17 days

9 7 15 = 6 9 ? days
? days = 9 7 15/6 9
= 35/2 = 17 days. Ans.
Q. 88. A man, a woman and a boy can together complete a piece of work in 3 days. If a man alone can do it in
6 days and a boy alone in 18 days, how long will a woman take to complete the work?
(a) 9 days (b0 21 days (c) 24 days (d) 27 days (e) None of these
Ans: (a) 9 days
Explanation:
(1 Man + 1 woman + 1 boy)s 1days work = 1/3
1 mans 1 day work = 1/6
1boys 1 days work = 1/18
(1 Man + 1 boy) s 1 days work = 1/6 + 1/18 = 2/9
Therefore, 1 womans 1 days work = 1/3 2/9 = 3-2/9 = 1/9
Therefore, the woman alone can finish the work in 9 days. Ans.
Q. 89. 8 men can do a piece of work in 12 days. 4 women can do it in 48 days and 10 children can do it in 24
days. In how many days can 10 men, 4 women and 10 children together complete the piece of work?
Ans: (d) 6 days
Explanation:
1 mans 1 days work = 1/8 12 = 1/96
10 mens 1 days work = 1 10/96 = 5/48
1 womans 1 days work = 1/192
4 womens 1 days work = 1/192 4 = 1/48
1 childs 1 days work = 1/240
10 childrens 1 days work = 1/24

Therefore, (10 men + 4 women + 10 children)s 1 days work = 5/48 + 1/48 + 1/24
= 8/48 =1/6
The required No. of days = 6 days. Ans.
Q. 90. 8 men can dig a pit in 20 days. If a man works half as much again a s a boy, then 4 men and 9 boys can
dig a similar pit in:
Ans: (d) 16 days
Explanation:
1 work done = 8 20
1 man = 3/2 Boys
1 boy = 2/3 men
Then, 9 boys = 9 2/3 men = 6 men
Then, 4 men + 9 boys = 10 men
Then, 8 20 = 10 ?days
? days = 8 20/10 = 16 days. Ans.
Q. 91. A man and a boy complete a work together in 24 days. If for the last 6 days man alone does the work
then it is completed in 26 days. How long the boy will take to complete the work alone?
Ans: (a) 72 days
Explanation:
(man + boy)s 1 days work = 1/24
Their 20 days work = 1/24 20 = 5/6
The remaining 1/6 work is done by the man in 6days
Therefore, the man alone will finish the work in 6 6 days = 36 days
Mans 1 days work = 1/36
Therefore, boys 1 days work = 1/24 1/36 = 3 2 /72 = 1/72

Q. 92. A, B and C completed a piece of work costing Rs.1800. A worked for 6 days, B for 4 days and C for 9
days. If their daily wages are in the ratio 5 : 6 : 4, how much amount will be received by A?
(a) Rs.800 (b) Rs. 600 (c) Rs.900 (d) Rs.750 (e) None of these
Ans: (b) Rs. 600
Explanation:
The new ratio = wages ratio No. of days
A = 5 6 = 30
B = 6 4 = 24
C = 4 9 = 36
Therefore, the ratio of the amount received = 30 : 24 : 36 = 5 : 4 :6
Total ratio = 15
1 unit of ratio = 1800/15 = Rs. 120
Therefore, amount received by A = 5 units = 5 120 = Rs.600. Ans.
Q. 93. 12 men take 36 days to do a work while 12 women complete 3/4th of the same work in 36 days. In how
many days 10 men and 8 women together will complete the same work?
(a) 6 days (b) 12 days (c) 27 days (d) Data inadequate (e) None of these
Ans: (c) 27 days
Explanation:
1 mans 1 days work = 1/ 36 12 = 1/432
10 mens 1 days work = 10/432

12 women can finish the whole work in 4 36/3 = 48 days
1 womans 1 days work = 1/ 48 12 = 1/576
8 womens 1 days work = 8/572 = 1/72
(10 men + 8 women)s 1 days work = 10/432 + 1/72 = 10 + 6/432 = 16/432
= 1/27
Therefore, the required No. of days = 27 days. Ans.
Q. 94. A is thrice as good a workman as B and therefore is able to finish a job in 60 days less than B. working
together, they can do it in
Ans: (b) 22 days
Explanation:
B = 3A
3A A =60 days
A = 30days
Then, B = 90 days
(A + B) = 30 90/ 120 = 45/2 = 22 days . Ans.
Q. 95. A works twice as fast as B. if both of them can together finish a piece of work in 12 days, then B alone
can do it in
Ans: (c) 36 days
Explanation:
B = 2A
2A A/3A = 12
2A/3 = 12
A = 18 days
B = 2 18 = 36 days
Therefore, B alone can finish the work in 36 days. Ans.
Q. 96. A man, a woman and a boy can complete a job in 3 days, 4 days and 12 days respectively. How many
boys must assist 1 man and 1 woman to complete the job in 1/4th of a day?
Ans: (d) 41
Explanation:
1 mans 1 days work = 1/3, days work = 1/3 = 1/12
1 womans 1 days work = , days work = = 1/16
1 boys 1 days work = 1/12, days work = 1/12 = 1/48
Let x be the No. of boys required.
Then, (1 man + 1 woman + x boy)s days work 1/12 + 1/16 + x/48 = 1
=4+3+x=1
48
i.e. 7 + x= 48 and x = 41. Ans.
Q. 97. A does 4/5th of a work in 20 days. He then calls in B and they together finish the remaining work in 3
days. How long B alone would take to do the whole work?
Ans: (c) 37 days
Explanation:
A can finish the whole work in 20 5/4 days = 25 days
A and B together finish the whole work in 5 3 days = 15 days

Therefore, B can finish the whole work in 25 B/ 25 + B = 15
25 B = 15 ( 25 + B)= 375 + 15B
10B = 375 and B = 375/10 = 37 days. Ans.
Q. 98. A can do 1/4th part of the work in 10 days, B can do 40% of the work in 40 days and C can do 1/3rd of
the work in 13 days. Who will complete the work first?
(a) A (b) B (c) C (d) A and C both (e) None of these
Ans: (c) C
Explanation:
The whole work is done by A in 4 10 = 40 days
B can do the whole work in 40/40 100 days = 100 days
C can do the whole work in 3 13 = 39 days.
Therefore, the 1st person to complete the work is C. Ans.
Q. 99. A alone can finish a work in 10 days which B alone can finish in 15 days. If they work together and finish
it, then out of a total wages of Rs.3000, A will get:
(a) Rs.1200 (b) Rs.1500 (c) Rs. 1800 (d) Rs.2000 (e) None of these
Ans: (c) Rs. 1800
Explanation:
Ratio of working days of A : B = 10 : 15
Therefore, their wages ratio = reverse ratio = 15 : 10
Therefore, A will get 15 units of ratio
Total ratio = 25
1 unit of ratio =3000/25 = 120
So, As amount = 120 15 = Rs.1800. Ans.

Solution to Mitul Sharma's Question on Time and Work
Question: A certain work can be done in a certain time by 25 men. With 5 men less it could have been done in
3 days more. In what time can it be done by 40 men.
Solution:
let x be the time taken by 25 men to complete the work in days.
Then, 25 * x = 20 * (x + 3)
25x = 20x + 60
x = 12
Then, 40 men will compete the work in = 25 * 12/40 = 15/2 = 7 1/2 days.
