first diff.---- 7, 10, 15, 22 Taking 60 as LCM, we get
3, 5, 7 ⇒(4x + 6x + 4x + 5x)/60 = 1
38. Ans. A. ⇒19x/60 = 1
⇒x = 60/19
38
www.gradeup.co
It means that every worker has to work Total wages to be paid to D = 12 × 55 =

for more than 3 days Rs. 660
If every worker work for 3 days ∴ B is the most expensive worker.
The work which get completed = (3/15) 49. Ans. B.
+ (3/10) + (3/15) + (3/12) Let the number of days worked by A is x
Taking 60 as LCM, we get days and by B is 2x days
⇒(12 + 18 + 12 + 15)/60 So, (x/15) + (2x/10) = 1/2
⇒57/60 Taking 30 As LCM on LHS, we get
Work remaining = 1 – (57/60) = 3/60 = ⇒(2x + 6x)/30 = 1/2
1/20 ⇒8x/30 = 1/2
Now, again A have to do work ⇒8x = 15
Let time taken by A to complete the ⇒x = 15/8
remaining work be x A has worked for 15/8 days
So, x/15 = 1/20 B has worked for 15/4 days
⇒20x = 15 Part of the total work done by A =
⇒x = 15/20 (15/8) × (1/15) = 1/8
⇒x = ¾ Part of the total work done by B =
So, A take 0.75 day to complete the (15/4) × (1/10) = 3/8
remaining work Hence, the answer = 1/8; 3/8.
Total time taken by the workers to 50. Ans. D.
complete the task = (3 × 4) + 0.75 Number of days worked by D = 165/55
⇒12 + 0.75 =3
⇒12.75 days Part of the total work done by D = 3/12
∴ Total time taken by the workers to So, part of the work done by B = 1/3 of
complete the task is 12 days 18 hours 3/12 = 1/12
47. Ans. C. And, part of the work done by C = 2/3 of
Work finished by B and C jointly = 1/12 = 1/18
(2/10) + (2/15) ∴ Part of the work done by A = 1 –
⇒(6 + 4)/30 [(3/12) + (1/12) + (1/18)] = (36 – 9 –
⇒10/30 = 1/3 3 – 2)/36 = 22/36 = 11/18
Work finished by B and D jointly = Let the number of days taken by A to do

⇒(12 + 10)/60 So, x/15 = 11/18
⇒22/60 = 11/30 ⇒ x = 165/18
Work finished by D alone = 2/12 = 1/6 Total wages received by A = (165/18) ×
Work left = 1 – (1/3) – (11/30) – (1/6) 42 = 6930/18 = Rs.385
Taking 30 as LCM, we get The number of days taken by B to do his
⇒(30 – 10 – 11 – 5)/30 work = 10/12
⇒4/30 = 2/15 Wages to be received by B = (10/12) ×
C can do 1/15 of the work in one day 70 = 700/12 = Rs. 175/3
Time taken by C to finish 2/15 task = 2 The number of days taken by C to do his
days work = 15/18
Total number of days worked by C = 2 + Wages to be received by C = (15/18) ×
2=4 40 = 600/18 = Rs. 100/3
Wages to be received by C = 4 × 40 = Ratio of wages of B and C = 175 ∶ 100 =
Rs. 160 7 ∶ 4.
∴ Wage earned by C for 4 days is Rs. ∴ The wages earned by A is Rs. 385 and
160 ratio of wages of B and C is 7 ∶ 4.
48. Ans. B. 51. Ans. A.
Total wages to be paid to A = 15 × 42 = Let SP of 1st = CP of 2nd = Rs. 100 p
Rs. 630
Total wages to be paid to B = 10 × 70 ∴ SP of 2nd = 100 × = 90 p.

is done by A and B together)
In the second vessel: As, time taken by C to complete 50% of
the work = 8 x 3 = 24 days
Volume of Hydrogen = So, time taken by C to complete the
entire work = 24 x 2 = 48 days
Volume of Helium = 20 – 15 = 5L

A = 100A [14000 x 10]: [8500 x 7+(8500+y)x3]:
Total profit amount from the business B [15000x4+7000x4+36000x2]=6: 7: 5:
= 157.5% of 100A = 157.5A 8
Total profit amount from the business C (90000+3x): (140000): (85000+3y):
= 97.5% of 100 A = 97.5A (160000) = 6: 7: 5: 8
Total profit = 100A + 157.5A + 97.5A =
170400
355A = 17040
A = 480
So, the total profit amount from the
business A = 100 A = Rs. 48000
The total profit amount from the
Required difference = x – y = 10000 –
business B = 157.5 A = Rs. 75600
5000 = 5000
business C = 97.5 A = Rs. 46800
So option (d) is the correct answer.
In business B –
59. Ans. D.
Ratio of their profit = (20000 x 3 +
The amount invested by Q in business A
15000 x 3): (22500 x 6) = 105: 135 =
= 20000 (approx.)
7: 9
The amount invested by R in business A
In business C –
= 14000 (approx.)
Ratio of their profit = (14000 x 10):
The collective amount invested by Q and
(8500 x 7 + 13500 x 3) = 14: 10 = 7: 5
R in business A = 34000
Total share of profit of Q from both the
The amount invested by P in business C
business together =
= 9000
The amount invested by S in business C
= 15000
Total share of profit of R from both the Required difference of amount invested
business together = by P and S in business C = 6000
So,
So, required difference = 62025 – 60375 So, x = 17.6 = 18%
= Rs. 1650 So option (d) is the correct answer.
60. Ans. B.
So option (b) is the correct answer. Let total profit amount from the business
58. Ans. D. A = 100A
Let total profit amount from the business Total profit amount from the business B
A = 100A = 157.5% of 100A = 157.5A
Total profit amount from the business B Total profit amount from the business C
= 157.5% of 100A = 157.5A = 97.5% of 100 A = 97.5A
Total profit amount from the business C Total profit = 100A + 157.5A + 97.5A =
= 97.5% of 100 A = 97.5A 170400
Total profit = 100A + 157.5A + 97.5A = 355A = 17040
170400 A = 480
355A = 17040 So, the total profit amount from the
A = 480 business A = 100 A = Rs. 48000
