9. Question
A group of US planes can completely destroy Bughdad in 7 days. However 12 planes develop technical faults. The remaining now can do the job in 10 days. Find the original group strength.
Hint
We have W = work to be done = Destruction of the city
= X × 7 plane days, where X = original number of planes.
Also, W = (X – 12) × 10 plane days.
Now the work done is same in the two cases (destruction of same city)
⇒ X × 7 ≡ (X – 12) × 10
⇒ X = 40 planes.

Hint
12 M × 18 = 12 W × 18 × ⁴⁄₃
∴ W = ¾M
10M + 8W = 10M + 8 × ¾M = 16 M
∴ 16 men can complete the same work in

18. Question
Two men A and B working together complete a piece of work which it would have taken them 30 and 40 days respectively to complete if they worked separately. If they received a payment of Rs. 2,100, B’s share is :
Hint
If A and B work separately then A completes his work in 30 days and B completes his work in 40 days.
∴ Ratio of the days = 30: 40 = 3: 4
⇒ Ratio of the work of A and B = 4 : 3
