Explanation

According to the question-

$\cfrac{1}{A} + \cfrac{1}{B} = \cfrac{1}{10} ..... \left( 1 \right)$

$\cfrac{1}{B} + \cfrac{1}{C} = \cfrac{1}{15} ..... \left( 2 \right)$

$\cfrac{1}{C} + \cfrac{1}{A} = \cfrac{1}{12} ..... \left( 3 \right)$

Adding equation

$\left( 1 \right), \left( 2 \right) \& \left( 3 \right)$ , we have

$\left( \cfrac{1}{A} + \cfrac{1}{B} \right) \left( \cfrac{1}{B} + \cfrac{1}{C} \right) + \left( \cfrac{1}{C} + \cfrac{1}{A} \right) = \cfrac{1}{10} + \cfrac{1}{15} + \cfrac{1}{12}$

$\Rightarrow 2 \left( \cfrac{1}{A} + \cfrac{1}{B} + \cfrac{1}{C} \right) = \cfrac{6 + 4 + 5}{60}$

$\Rightarrow \cfrac{1}{A} + \cfrac{1}{B} + \cfrac{1}{C} = \cfrac{15}{2 \times 60} = \cfrac{1}{8}$

Hence the work will be finished in

$8$ days by

$A, \; B$ and

$C$ working together.

Explanation

$Let \, \,the \, \,work \, \,be \, \,W.$

$A \, \, and\, \, B\, \, can\, \, do\, \, a \, \, piece \, \,of\, \, work\, \, in \, \, 5 \, \,days$

$\therefore \, \,5A+5B=W \, \,..........(1)$

$B \, \, and \, \, C \, \, can \, \,do \, \, it \, \, in \, \,7 \, \, days$

$\therefore, \, \,7B+7C=W \, \,......(2)$

$A \, \, and \, \, C \, \, can \, \,do \, \, it \, \, in \, \,4 \, \, days$

$\therefore, \, \,4A+4C=W \, \,.......(3)$

$Solving \, \, (1) \, \,(2) \, \,and \, \,(3) \, \,We \, \,get,$

$Speed \, \, of \, \, A=\dfrac{43}{280} \, \, work/day$

$Speed \, \, of \, \, B=\dfrac{13}{280} \, \, work/day$

$Speed \, \, of \, \, C=\dfrac{27}{280} \, \, work/day$

$Since \, \,speed \, \,of \, \,A \, \,is \, \,maximum \, \,among \, \,all \, \,three, \,$

$Hence \, \,A \, \, will \, \,take \, \,least \, \,time \, \,to \, \,complete \, \,the \, \,work.$

A and B can do a job in

$12$ days, B and C can do it in

Explanation

$A$ and

$B$ can do a job in

$12$ days.

$B$ and

$C$ can do a job in

$16$ days.

$A$ worked for

$5$ days and

$B$ worked for

$7$ days.

Part of work done by

$A$ and

$B$ in

$5$ days=

$\dfrac{5}{12}$

$\therefore$ Part of work left after

$A$ left=

$1-\dfrac{5}{12}=\dfrac{12-5}{12}=\dfrac{7}{12}$

After

$A$ left work

$B$ worked for

$2$ more days.

Part of work done by

$B$ and

$C$ in

$2$ days=

$\dfrac{2}{16}=\dfrac{1}{8}$

$\therefore$ part of work left after

$B$ left=

$\dfrac{ 7 }{ 12 } -\dfrac{ 1 }{ 8 } =\dfrac{ 14-3 }{ 24 } =\dfrac{ 11 }{ 24 }$

Now

$\dfrac{ 11 }{ 24 }$ part o work

$C$ has to complete in

$11$ days

Since

$C$ already had worked for

$2$ dayswith

$B$

(part)complete work is done by

$C$ in

$\dfrac { 11 }{ \dfrac { 11 }{ 24 } }$

$24$ days.

$3$ men and

$4$ boys can do a piece of work in

$14$ days, while

$4$ men and

$6$ boys do the same work in

$10$ days. How long would it take one man to finish the same work ?

0%
$40$ days
0%
$20$ days
0%
$35$ days
0%
$70$ days

Explanation

Let one man's one day's work be

$x$

Let one boy's one day's work be

$y$

According to first condition,

$3x+4y = \dfrac{1}{14}$ .......Equation

$1$

According to second condition,

$4x+6Y = \dfrac{1}{10}$ .......Equation

$2$

Multiplying Equation

$1$ by

$4$ and Equation

$2$ by

$3$ ,

$12x + 16y = \dfrac{4}{14}$ .....Equation

$3$

$12x + 18y = \dfrac{3}{10}$ .....Equation

$4$

Now solving Equation

$3$ and

$4$ simultaneously by substracting Equation

$3$ by Equation

$4$ ,

we get,

$\therefore -2y = \dfrac{4}{14} -\dfrac{3}{10}$

$\therefore -2y = \dfrac{40-42}{140}$

$\therefore y = \dfrac{1}{140}$

Putting the value of y in equation

$1$ , we get,

$3x + \dfrac{4}{140} = \dfrac{1}{14}$

$\therefore x = \dfrac{1}{70}$

Hence one man's one day work is

$\dfrac{1}{70}$

$\therefore$ one man completes the whole work in

$70$ days.

Two men and

$5$ boys together can finish a piece of work in

$4$ days, while

Explanation

Let the amount of work done by a Man alone in a day be

$M$ and by a Boy alone be

$B$

Given,

$2$ men and

$5$ boys together can finish a piece of work in

$4$ days

Amount of work they can do in one day

$2M + 5B$

$= \dfrac {1}{4}$ -- (1)

Similarly,

$3M + 6 B = \dfrac {1}{3}$ --- (2)

Solving equations

$(1)$ and

$(2)$ , we get

$B = \dfrac {1}{36}$

Substituting

$B$ in equation

$2$ , we get

$M = \dfrac {1}{18}$

Hence, one man alone will take

$18$ days to do the work and one boy will take

$36$ days.

A large tanker can be filled by two pipes A and B in

$60$ minutes and

$40$ minutes, respectively. How many minutes will it take to fill the empty tanker if only B is used in the first-half of the time and A and B are both used in the second-half of the time?

$15$
0%
$20$
0%
$27.5$

$30$

Explanation

Let total time consumed in filling the tank is

$x$ minutes

$\left( A+B \right) \prime s$ 1 minute work

$=\quad \dfrac { 1 }{ 60 } +\dfrac { 1 }{ 20 } =\dfrac { 2+3 }{ 120 } =\dfrac { 5 }{ 120 } =\dfrac { 1 }{ 24 }$

$\left( A+B \right)$ will take half of total time

$=\dfrac { x }{ 2 } \times \dfrac { 1 }{ 24 } \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \left( 1 \right)$

The rest half will be filled by B only in half of total time

$=\dfrac { x }{ 2 } \times \dfrac { 1 }{ 40 } \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \left( 2 \right)$

Adding (1) and (2)

$\dfrac { x }{ 48 } +\dfrac { x }{ 80 } =1\\ \Rightarrow \dfrac { 5x+3x }{ 240 } =1\\ \Rightarrow 8x=240\\ \Rightarrow x=30min$

$16$ men can complete a work in

$12$ days,

$24$ children can complete the same work in

$18$ days,

$12$ men and

$8$ children started working and after

$8$ days,

$3$ more children joined them. How many days will they now take to complete the remaining work ?

0%
$2$ days
0%
$4$ days
0%
$6$ days
0%
$8$ days

Explanation

One day work of 16 men is

$\dfrac { 1 }{ 12 }$ .

One day work of 24 children is

$\dfrac { 1 }{ 18 }$ .

One men's one day work is

$\dfrac { 1 }{ 12\times 16 }$ .

One child's one day work is

$\dfrac { 1 }{ 24\times 18 }$ .

One day work of 12 men and 8 children is

$\dfrac { 12 }{ 12\times 16 } +\dfrac { 8 }{ 24\times 18 }$ .

One day work =

$\dfrac { 35 }{ 54\times 8 }$ .

Work done in 8 days =

$8\times \dfrac { 35 }{ 54\times 8 } =\dfrac { 35 }{ 54 }$ .

Remaining work =

$1-\dfrac { 35 }{ 54 } =\dfrac { 19 }{ 54 }$ .

The remaining work is 12

$\times$ one men's one day work + 11

$\times$ one child's one day work.

Hence,

$12\times \dfrac { 1 }{ 12\times 16 } +11\times 24\times 18$

One day work multiplied by number of days to complete remaining work = remaining work

Therefore, the work is done in 4 days.

$\left( \dfrac { 1 }{ 16 } +\dfrac { 11 }{ 24 } \times 18 \right) x=\dfrac { 19 }{ 54 }$

$\Rightarrow$

$x=4$

Thus they take 4 days to complete the remaining work.

Hence option B is correct.

A can do a piece of work in

$7$ days of

$9$ hr each, and B can do it in

$6$ days of

$7$ hour. How long will they take to do it working together

Explanation

Unit of work		Days	Hour		Total Work
2	A	7	9	63	126
3	B	6	7	42	(L.C>M of 63 and 46)

Time taken to complete the work by

$A$ and

$B$ =

$=\dfrac { 126 }{ \left( 2+3 \right) \times \dfrac { 42 }{ 5 } }$ days.

$=\dfrac { 126\times 5 }{ 5\times 42 }$ days.

$=3$ days.

$2$ men and

$3$ boys together can do a piece of work in

$3$ men and

$2$ boys together. How long would

$1$ boy alone or

$1$ man alone take to complete the work.

One boy alone can do a piece of work in $160$ days

and one man alone can do a piece of work in $12$ days

Explanation

Let

$1$ boy alone can do a piece of work in

$x$ days and

$1$ man alone can do a piece of work in

$y$ days.
So,

$1$ day work of

$1$ boy

$=\cfrac{1}{x}$
and

$1$ day work of

$1$ man

$=\cfrac{1}{y}$
ATP

$\cfrac{3}{x}+\cfrac{2}{y}=\cfrac{1}{8}$ .........(i)
and

$\cfrac{2}{x}+\cfrac{3}{y}=\cfrac{1}{6}$ .......(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by

$2$ and equation (ii) by

$3$

$\cfrac{6}{x}+\cfrac{4}{y}=\cfrac{1}{4}$

$\cfrac{6}{x}+\cfrac{9}{y}=\cfrac{1}{2}$
------------------------------------------

$-\cfrac{5}{y}=-\cfrac{1}{4}$

$\Rightarrow$

$y=20$
substitute

$y=20$ in equation (i)

$\cfrac{3}{x}+\cfrac{3}{20}=\cfrac{1}{8}$

$\cfrac{3}{x}=\cfrac{1}{8}-\cfrac{1}{10}$

$\cfrac{3}{x}=\cfrac{5-4}{40}$

$\cfrac{3}{x}=\cfrac{1}{40}$

$\Rightarrow$

$x=120$
So, one boy alone can do a piece of work in

$120$ days
and one man alone can do a piece of work in

$20$ days.

0%
Pooja in $40$ days and Ritu in $30$ days

Explanation

Let Pooja's one day work be

$x$

And Ritu's one day work be

$y$

Accprding to first condition,

Pooja and Ritu can do work in

$17 \dfrac{1}{7}$ days i.e

$\dfrac{120}{7}$ days

$\therefore x + y = \dfrac {1}{\dfrac{120}{7}}$

$\therefore x + y = \dfrac{7}{120}$ .........Equation

$1$

According to second condition,

$x = \dfrac{3}{4} y$

$\therefore 4x - 3y = 0$ .......... Equation

$2$

Multiplying eqution

$1$ by

$3$ and solving equation

$1$ and

$2$ simultaneosly, we get

$3x + 3y = \dfrac{7}{40}$

$4x - 3y = 0$

$\therefore 7x = \dfrac{7}{40}$

$\therefore x = \dfrac{1}{40}$

Putting the value of

$x$ in equation

$1$ , we get

$\dfrac{1}{40} + y = \dfrac{7}{120}$

$\therefore y = \dfrac{4}{120} = \dfrac{1}{30}$

$\therefore$ Pooja's one day work is

$x = \dfrac{1}{40}$

i.e. her whole work will be completed in

$40$ days

Similarly Pooja's work will be completed in

$30$ days

Answer : Pooja can do the work alone in

$40$ days and Ritu in

$30$ days

$A$ can do a work in

Explanation

${\textbf{Step -1: Find the work left after 4 days.}}$

${\text{Let, total work = 1}}$

${\text{A can do the work in 15 days}}$

${\text{Amount of work A can do in 1 day = }}\dfrac{1}{{15}}$

${\text{B can do the work in 20 days}}$

${\text{Amount of work B can do in 1 day = }}\dfrac{1}{{20}}$

${\text{Amount of work done by A and B together in 1 day = }}\dfrac{1}{{15}} + \dfrac{1}{{20}} = \dfrac{7}{{60}}$

${\text{Amount of work A and B together can do in 4 days = 4}} \times \dfrac{7}{{60}} = \dfrac{7}{{15}}$

${\text{Work left after 4 days = } 1 - }\dfrac{7}{{15}}$

$= \dfrac{8}{{15}}$

${\textbf{Hence, the correct option is A.}}$

$700$

Explanation

Work done by two pipes individually is

$\dfrac{1}{24}$ and

$\dfrac{1}{40}$ respectively

work done by all three pipe together is

$\dfrac{1}{60}$

Work done by third pipe to empty tha tank

$=\dfrac{1}{60} - (\dfrac{1}{24} + \dfrac{1}{40})$

$= \dfrac{1}{60} - \dfrac{8}{120}$

$= - \dfrac{1}{20}$ [-ve sign means emptying]

$\therefore$ Volume of

$\dfrac{1}{20}$ part

$= 30$ gallons

$\therefore$ Volume of whole tank

$= 30 \times 20 = 600$ gallons

Answer is

$600$ gallons.

A tap A can fill a cistern in

$8$ hours while tap B can fill it in

0%
$2hrs\;40min$
0%
$2hrs\;50min$
0%
$3hrs$

Explanation

Time taken by tap A to fill the cistern

$=8$ hours.
Work done by tap A in

$1$ hour

$=\dfrac{1}{8}$
Time taken by tap B to fill the cistern

$=4$ hours.
Work done by tap B in

$1$ hour

$=\dfrac{1}{4}$
Work done by

$\begin{pmatrix}A+B\end{pmatrix}$ in

$1$ hour

$=\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{3}{8}$
Therefore, time taken by

$\begin{pmatrix}A+B\end{pmatrix}$ to fill the cistern

$=\dfrac{8}{3}$ hours

$=2hours\;40\;min$ .

A man was engaged on a job for

$30$ days on the condition that he would get a wage of Rs.

$10$ for the day he works , but he have to pay a fine of Rs.

$2$ for each day of his absence. If he gets Rs.

$216$ at the end. He was absent for work for how many days ?

0%
$7$ days
0%
$8$ days
0%
$9$ days
0%
$10$ days
0%
None of these

Explanation

Let he work for

$x$ days then he was absent for

$(30-x)$ days.
Total paid

$=$ Rs.

$216$
Now, according to question.

$10 \times x - 2 \times (30-x) = 216$

$\Rightarrow 10x - 60 + 2x = 216$

$\Rightarrow 12x = 276$

$\Rightarrow x = 23$
Number of working days

$= 23$
Therefore, number of absent

$= 30 - x = 30 - 23 = 7$ days.

$10$ hectare field is reaped by

$2$ men,

$3$ women and

$4$ children in

$10$ days. If a man, a woman and a child work in the ratio

$5 : 4 : 2,$ a

$16$ hectare field will be reaped by

$6$ men,

$4$ women and

$7$ children in:

0%
$5$ days
0%
$\displaystyle6\frac{1}{2}$ days
0%
$7$ days
0%
$8$ days

Explanation

Man:Woman:child =

$5:4:2$

Man:Woman =

$5:4$

$4$ men =

$5$ women

Man:Child =

$5:2$

$2$ men =

$5$ children

Woman:Child =

$4:2$

$4$ children =

$2$ women
Or

$1$ woman =

$2$ child

$2$ men,

$3$ women and

$4$ children =

$5 + 6 + 4$ children =

$15$ children

$15$ children reap

$10$ hectare field in

$10$ days

Now

$6$ men,

$4$ women and

$7$ children:

$3\times 5 + 4 \times 2 + 7$ children =

$15 + 15$ =

$30$ children
We need to find time taken by

$30$ children to reap

$16$ hectares

We know that

$15$ children reap

$10$ hectare field in

$10$ days

$15$ children will reap 1 hectare in

$\dfrac{10}{10} = 1$ day

$15$ children will reap

$16$ hectare in

$1 \times 16 = 16$ days

$30$ children will reap

$16$ hectare in

$\dfrac{16}{2} = 8$ days
i.e

$6$ men,

$4$ women and

$7$ children will reap

$16$ hectares in

$8$ days

If a pipe fills the tank in

$10$ minutes, how much minutes it will take to half fill the tank in we connect two pipes?

0%
$20$
0%
$10$
0%
$5$
0%
$2.5$

Explanation

No of pipe (P) is inversely proportional to time (t)

$\Rightarrow P \propto \dfrac {1}{t}$
But here it takes

$10$ minutes to fill the tank.
To half fill the tank the pipe will take

$\dfrac {10}{2} = 5\ minutes$ .
Now,

$P_{1} t_{1} = P_{2} t_{2}$

$P_{1} = 1, t_{1} = 5, P_{2} = 2$ , we have to find

$t_{2}$ .

$\Rightarrow t_{1} = \dfrac {P_{1}t_{1}}{P_{2}} = \dfrac {1\times 5}{2} = 2.5\ minutes$

$15$ men complete a task in

$3$ days, how many days will

$9$ men take to complete it?

0%
$6$

Explanation

No. of men is inversely proportion to no. of days taken

$\therefore 15\times 3 = K = 9\times x$

$\Rightarrow 4s = 9\times x \Rightarrow x = 5$ .

Explanation

Let the total work be

$315$ [L.C.M of

$(5,7,9)$ ] units. Raman's. Jatin's and Sachin's each day work is

$63,45$ and

$35$ units.
Hence, Ratio of share

$63:45:35$
Raman's share

$=\cfrac { 63 }{ 143 } \times 2860=Rs.1260\quad$

Consider a pyramid with a square base side of

$6$ inches and with a height of

$12$ inches, as shown below. If we cut off the top of the pyramid parallel to the base

$3$ inches from the tip, what is the volume of the remaining solid?

0%
$141.75$
0%
$140$
0%
$135.48$
0%
$144$
0%
$130$

Explanation

a pyramid of a square base side of 6 inches.

height =

$12$ inches

for smaller pyramid given :-

height =

$3$ inches

Base square of side =

$1.5$ inches

volume of larger pyramid =

$\dfrac{1}{3}$ Base area

$\times$ height

$= \dfrac{1}{3} (6)^2 \times 12$

$= 36 \times 4 = 144 \, inch^3$

Volume of smaller pyramid

$= \dfrac{1}{3}$ Base area

$\times$ height

$= \dfrac{1}{3} (1.5)^2 \times 3$

$= (1.5)^2 = 2.25 inch^3$

So, volume of remaining solid

= larger volume - smaller volume

$= 144 - 2.25$

$= 141.75 \, inch^3$

Each side of the base of a square pyramid is reduced by

$20%$ . By what percent must the height be increased so that the volume of the new pyramid is the same as the volume of the original pyramid?

0%
20
0%
40
0%
46.875
0%
56.25
0%
71.875

Explanation

Let

$a$ be the side of the square.

Length of side of square when reduced by

$20\% = a-\dfrac{20a}{100}=0.8a$

Let

$a_1=0.8a$

Volume of pyramid

$V=\dfrac { 1 }{ 3 } \times$ Area of base

$\times height=\dfrac{1}{3}A\times h$

Area of base with side

$a = { a }^{ 2 }$

${ a }^{ 2 }=0.8a$

${V}_{ 1 }=\dfrac { 1 }{ 3 } \times { \left( { a }_{1} \right) }^{ 2 }\times { h }_{ 1 }$

${V}_{ 1 }=V$ ....... [Given]

$\Rightarrow \dfrac { 1 }{ 3 } { a }^{ 2 }\times h=\dfrac { 1 }{ 3 } { \left( 0.8 \right) }^{ 2 }{ a }^{ 2 }\times { h }_{ 1 }$

$\therefore { h }_{ 1 }=1.5625h$

$\implies \dfrac { { h }_{ 1 }-h }{ h } =1.5625-1=56.25%$

$\therefore$ 'h' need to be increase by

$56.25$

A cistern can be filled by one tap in

$5$ hours and by another in

$4$ hours. How long will it take to fill if both the taps are opened simultaneously?

0%
$\dfrac{10}{9}\;hrs$
0%
$9\;hrs$
0%
$10\;hrs$
0%
$\dfrac{20}{9}\;hrs$

Explanation

Time taken by first tap to fill the cistern

$=5$ hours.
Work done by first tap in

$1$ hour

$=\dfrac{1}{5}$
Time taken by second tap to fill the cistern

$=4\;hours$ .
Work done by second tap in

$1$ hour

$=\dfrac{1}{4}$
Work done by (first tap + second tap) in

$1$ hour

$=\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{9}{20}$
Therefore, time taken by (first tap + second tap) to fill the cistern

$=\dfrac{20}{9}\;hours$ .

It 10 men or 20 women or 40 children can do a piece of work in 7 months, then 5 men, 5 women and 5 children together can do half of the work in :

0%
6 months
0%
4 months
0%
5 months
0%
8 months

Explanation

Let total work be

$W$

Work done by

$1$ man in

$1$ month =

$\frac { W }{ 10*7 } = \frac { W }{ 70}$

Work done by

$1$ woman in

$1$ month =

$\frac { W }{ 20*7 } = \frac { W }{ 140}$

Work done by

$1$ child in

$1$ month =

$\frac { W }{ 40*7 } = \frac { W }{ 280}$

Total work done by 5 men, 5 women and 5 children in 1 month=

$\frac{5W}{70}+\frac{5W}{140}+\frac{5W}{280}= \frac{W}{8}$

Let number of months be

$n$

$\frac{W}{8}*n=\frac{W}{2}$

n=4

Two classrooms A and B having capacity of

$25$ and

$(n-25)$ seats respectively.

$A_n$ denotes the number of possible seating arrangements of room

$'A'$ , when 'n' students are to be seated in these rooms, starting from room

$'A'$ which is to be filled up to its capacity. If

$A_n-A_{n-1}=25!(^{49}C_{25})$ then 'n' equals:

0%
$50$
0%
$48$
0%
$49$
0%
$51$

Explanation

Given

$A_n=nC_{25} \cdot 25!$

$A_{n-1}={n-1}C_{25} \cdot 25!$

Hence

$nC_{25} \cdot 25! - (n-1)C_{25} \cdot 25!=25! 49C_{25}$

$\Rightarrow (n-1)C_{25}+(n-1)C_{24}-(n-1)C_{25}=49C_{24}$

$\Rightarrow n-1=49$

$\Rightarrow n=50$
