A work can be completed by

$40$ workers in

$40$ days. If

$5$ workers leave every

$10$ days, in how many days work will be completed?

0%
$55.66$
0%
$56.44$
0%
$56.66$
0%
$54.66$

Explanation

A work can be completed by

$40$ workers in

$40$ days.

Number of days required to complete the work by one worker

$=40\times 40=1600$ mandays(days per worker)

Day----mandays----total mandays

10 400 400

20 350 750

30 300 1050

40 250 1300

50 200 1500

After 50 days:

1500 man-hrs have been accumulated, 15 men are on the job.

Then, 100 more man-days required

$15 d = 100$

$\therefore$

$d = 100/15=6.66$

$\therefore$ Total no. of days required

$=50+6.66=56.66$ days.

Hence, option C is correct.

$A$ can do a piece of work in

$24$ days. If

$B$ is

$60\%$ more efficient than

$A$ , then the number of days required by

$B$ to do the twice as large as the

$A's$ work is -

0%
$24$
0%
$36$
0%
$15$
0%
$30$

Explanation

A can do a work say

$w$ in

$24$ days

$A\rightarrow \dfrac { w }{ 24 }$ (work done by A in one day)

$B$ is

$60$ % more efficient

$B\rightarrow 1.6\times \dfrac { w }{ 24 }$ (work done by B in one day)

Now B has to do work

$2w$

For one day B can do

$B\rightarrow 1.6\times \dfrac { w }{ 24 }$

Say B takes

$x$ days to complete

$2w$ amount of work.

$1.6\times \dfrac { w }{ 24 } \times x=2w$

$x=\dfrac { 48 }{ 1.6 } =30$

$20$ people can build a wall in

$7$ days, then the number of persons required to complete the work in

$35$ days is:

0%
$4$
0%
$8$
0%
$12$
0%
$20$

Explanation

The number of people working and length of the wall are in inverse proportion.

Work done by

$20$ people in

$7$ days=

$20\times7$
Let,the number of people required to complete the same work in

$35$ days be

$x$
Now,

$20\times7=35x$

$=>\cfrac{140}{35}=x$

$=>x=4$

The mean of first six natural numbers is

0%
$5$
0%
$3.5$
0%
$4$
0%
None of these

Explanation

$\textbf{Step -1: Find the sum of first six natural numbers.}$

$\text{The first six natural numbers are }1,2,3,4,5,6$

$\text{Sum of these observations}=1+2+3+4+5+6$

$=21$

$\textbf{Step -2: Find the mean of first six natural numbers.}$

$\text{Here, number of observations}=6$

$\mathbf{\because\text{Mean}=\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}.}$

$\therefore\text{Mean of first six natural numbers}=\dfrac{21}{6}$

$=3.5$

$\textbf{Final Answer: Hence, the correct option is B.}$

$X$ is twice as good as a workman as

$Y$ .

$Y$ . In how many hours could they have finished that piece of work together?

0%
3
0%
2
0%
4
0%
5

Explanation

$X$ finished a work in 3 hours less than

$Y$ .

$X$ is twice as good as a workman as

$Y$ . Therefore,

$Y$ finished the same work in 6 hours.

$\therefore \left( X+Y \right)$ 's one hour's work

$= \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 3 } + \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 6 } = \displaystyle\frac { 3 }{ 6 } = \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$

$\therefore X$ and

$Y$ together can finish the whole work in 2 hours.

Explanation

${\textbf{Step - 1: Listing first 10 odd natural numbers}}$

${\text{First 10 odd natural numbers = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19}}$

${\textbf{Step - 2: Calculating mean}}$

${\text{We know that, mean of n numbers = }}\dfrac{{{\text{Sum of n numbers}}}}{{\text{n}}}$

$\therefore {\text{ Mean of first 10 odd natural numbers,}}$

${\text{M = }}\dfrac{{{\text{1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19}}}}{{{\text{10}}}}$

$\Rightarrow {\text{ M = }}\dfrac{{{\text{100}}}}{{{\text{10}}}}{\text{ = 10}}$

Twenty four men can complete a work in sixteen days. Thirty two women can complete the same work in twenty four days. Sixteen men and sixteen women started worked for 12 days. How many more men are to be added to complete the remaining work in 2 days ?

0%
16
0%
24
0%
36
0%
48

Explanation

1 man's 1 days' work =

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{24\times 16}$

$\therefore$ 16 men's 1 days' work =

$\displaystyle \frac{16}{24\times 16}= \frac{1}{24}$ 1 woman's 1 days' work =

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{32\times 24}$
16 women's 1 days' work =

$\displaystyle \frac{16}{32\times 24}=\frac{1}{48}$

$\therefore$ 12 days' work of (16 men + 16 women)

$\displaystyle =12\left ( \frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{48} \right )=12\left ( \frac{2+1}{48} \right )=12\times \frac {3}{48}=\frac {3}{4}$
Remaining work =

$\displaystyle 1-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$ Now (16 men's + 16 women's) 2 days' work =

$\displaystyle 2\left ( \frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{48} \right )=2\times \frac{1}{16}=\frac{1}{8}$

$\therefore$ Remaining work =

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{8}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{1}{384}$ work will be done in 2 days by

$\displaystyle \left ( 384\times \frac{1}{8}\times \frac{1}{2} \right )=24$ men

A contractor undertook to do a certain piece of work in

$9$ days. He employed certain number of men, but

$15$ days. The number of men originally employed were

0%
$12$
0%
$15$
0%
$18$
0%
$24$

Explanation

Let there be

$x$ men at the begining less men, more days

$\therefore$

$15 : 9 :: x : (x - 6)$

$\Rightarrow$

$15(x - 6) = 9x$

$\Rightarrow$

$6x = 90$

$\Rightarrow$

$x = 15$

The average of eight numbers is

0%
$0.8$
0%
$32.8$
0%
$34.8$
0%
$33.8$

Explanation

Sum of eight numbers

$= 38.4 \times 8 = 307.2$

$\because$ Total sum

$=$ Average

$\times$ Number of items
Sum of seven numbers

$=39.2 \times 7 = 274.4$

$\therefore$ Eight number

$= 307.2 - 274.4 = 32.8$

Two pipes

$A$ and

$B$ can separately fill a cistern in

$60\ minutes$ and

$75\ minutes$ respectively. There is a third pipe at the bottom of the cistern to empty it , If all the three pipes are simultancously opened, then the cistern is full in

$50\ minutes$ , In how much time, the third pipe alone can empty the cistern ?

0%
$110\ minutes$
0%
$100\ minutes$
0%
$120\ minutes$
0%
$90\ minutes$

Explanation

Let the third pipe empty the whole cistern in x minutes.

$\displaystyle \therefore \frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{75}-\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{50}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{75}-\frac{1}{50}=\frac{5+4-6}{300}=\frac{3}{300}=\frac{1}{100}$
The third pipe can empty the cistern in 100 minute

Explanation

After

$10$ days:

$150$ men had food for

$35$ days.
Suppose

$125$ men had food for

$x$ days. Less men, More days; More men less days.

$\therefore$

$125 : 150 : : 35 : x$

$\Rightarrow\, 125\, \times\, x\, =\, 150\, \times\, 35$

$\Rightarrow\, x\, =\, \displaystyle \frac{150\, \times\, 35}{125}\, \Rightarrow\, x\, =\, 42$
