5. Question
Suresh can finish a piece of work by himself in 42 days. Mahesh, who is ⅕ times more efficient as Suresh, requires X days to finish the work by working all by himself. Then what is the value of X?
Hint
Suresh, working alone 42 days = 1 unit of work.
Mahesh is 1/5 times more efficient that Suresh.
So Mahesh is 6/5 times as efficient as Suresh.
Hence Mahesh should require 5/6th of the time, the time taken by Suresh.
Therefore time taken by Mahesh = 5/6 × 42 = 35 days.

6. Question
Ganpat, Yogesh and Bhagwat can do a job in 15, 20 and 30 days respectively. In how many days can the job be finished if they work together?
Hint
Ganpat’s day work = 1/15 of the total.
Yogesh’s 1 day work = 1/20 of the total.
Bhagwat’s 1 day work = 1/30 of the total.
They can do
of the total work in 1 day.⇒ Total work can be finished in
=
=
=
days. - Question 7 of 25
7. Question
If 12 men or 15 women or 18 boys can do a piece of work in 15 days of 8 hours each, find how many men assisted by 5 women and 6 boys will finish the same work in 16 days of 9 hours each.
Hint
Given 12 men ≡ 15 women ≡ 18 boys
∴ 1 Man ≡ 1.5 boys, 1 woman = 6/5 boys.
Now, 5W + 6B = 12B.
Required answer is calculated as follows :
Total no. of boys required
= 18 × [(15/16) × (8/9)] = 15 boys
The number of boys already present = 12.
Hence, 3 boys more required.
But 3 boys = 2 men.
So, 2 men are required.

8. Question
If 6 BSF or 10 CRPF companies can demolish a terrorist outfit in Kashmir in 2 days, find how long will 4 BSF and 9 CRPF companies take to do the same?
Hint
Given 6 BSF ≡ 10 CRPF
⇒ 4 BSF + 9 CRPF
= 4 + (9 × 6/10) BSF
=
BSFNow work = 6 × 2 BSF days
=
BSF daysWe have 6 × 2 ≡
⇒ X = 1.27 days
- Question 9 of 25
9. Question
10 horses and 15 cows eat grass of 5 acres in a certain time. How many acres will feed 15 horses and 10 cows for the same time, supposing a horse eats as much as 2 cows?
Hint
1 horse = 2 cows, 10 horses = 20 cows.
⇒ 10 horses + 15 cows = 20 + 15 = 35 cows.
15 horses + 10 cows = 40 cows.
Now 35 cows eat 5 acres.
⇒ 40 cows eat 5 × ⁴⁰⁄₃₅ = 5⁵⁄₇ acres.
Here we have converted everything in terms of cows, you can work in terms of horses also.
- Question 10 of 25
10. Question
2 men and 3 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days while 3 men and 2 boys can do the same work in 8 days. In how many days can 2 men and 1 boy to the work?
Hint
Let 1 man’s 1 days’ work = x and 1 boy’s 1 day’s work = y
Then, 2x + 3y = 1/10 and 3x + 2y = 1/8
Solving, we get :
and
∴ (2 men + 1 boy)’s 1 day’s work
=
So, 2 men and 1 boy together can finish the work in 12½ days.
- Question 11 of 25
11. Question
A, B and C working together completed a job in 10 days. However, C only worked for the first three days when ³⁄₁₀₀ of the job was done. Also, the work done by A in 5 days is equal to the work done by B in 4 days. How many days would be required by the fastest worker to complete the entire work?
Hint
A, B and C’s 1 day’s work = 1/10
i.e.
…(1)Also, only C’s 1 day’s work = 3/100
i.e.
… (2)From the given condition,
…. (3)By comparing the ratio given in equ (1) and (2),
We can say C is the lowest worker.
Also, from equation (1) and (3), B is the fastest worker.
∴ We have,
{from (1), (2), (3)}
Hence, B completes the entire work in 20 days.

Hint
Using M₁T₁W₂ = M₂T₂W₁, we get
⇒ x + 10 =
⇒ x = 18 – 10 = 8
Hence, 8 men must be associated.
- Question 13 of 25
13. Question
Ten men can finish a piece of work in 10 days, whereas it takes 12 women to finish it in 10 days. If 15 men and 6 women undertake the work, how many days will they take to complete it?

- Question 15 of 25
15. Question
Two men undertake to do a piece of work for Rs 1,400. First man alone can do this work in 7 days while the second man alone can do this work in 8 days. If they working together complete this work in 3 days with the help of a boy, how should money be divided?
Hint
1st man can do in 3 days =³⁄₇ part of the work
2nd man can do in 3 days ³⁄₈ part of the work
Boy can do in 3 days
=
part of the work∴ Ratio of their wages
= 24 : 21 : 11
∴ 1st man’s share
=
2nd man’s share
Boy’s share
- Question 16 of 25
16. Question
4 men and 10 women were put on a work. They completed ⅓ of the work in 4 days. After this 2 men and 2 women were increased. They completed ²⁄₉ more of the work in 2 days. If the remaining work is to be completed in 3 days, then how many more women must be increased?
Hint
Remaining work
4 men + 10 women do 1 work in 12 days.
6 men + 12 women do 1 work in 9 days.
48 men + 120 women = 54 men + 108 women
⇒ 6 men = 12 women
⇒ 1 men = 2 women
∴ In 12 days 1 work requires 9 men
∴ In 1 day 1 work requires 9 × 12 men
∴ In 3 days 1 work requires
men∴ In 3 days ⁴⁄₉ work requires
menThere are 6 men and 12 women or (12 men equivalent)
So, 4 men equivalent is required additionally
∴ 8 women are needed to finish the work.
- Question 17 of 25

- Question 18 of 25
18. Question
A man is twice as fast as a woman. Together the man and the woman do the piece of work in 8 days. In how many days each will do the work if engaged alone?
Hint
Let the man alone do the work in x days.
then, the woman alone do the work in 2x days.
Their one day’s work = ⅛th part of whole work
i.e.
⇒ x = 12 days
∴ man takes 12 days and woman 2x = 24 days.
- Question 19 of 25
19. Question
X and Y can do job in 25 days and 30 days respectively. They work together for 5 days and then X leaves. Y will finish the rest of the work in how many days?
Hint
X’s one day’s work = ¹⁄₂₅th part of whole work.
Y’s one day’s work = ¹⁄₃₀th part of whole work.
Their one day’s work
=
part of whole work.Now, work is done in 5 days
of whole work∴ Remaining work
=
of whole workNow, ¹⁄₃₀th work is done by y in one day.
∴ ¹⁹⁄₃₀th work is done by y in
- Question 20 of 25
20. Question
A and B can do a job in 16 days and 12 days respectively. 4 days before finishing the job, A joins B. B has started the work alone. Find how many days B has worked alone?
Hint
A’s one day’s work = ¹⁄₁₆ th work
B’s one day’s work = ¹⁄₁₂th work
Let B has worked alone = x days. Then,
A’s amount of work + B’s amount of work = 1
⇒ x = 5 days
- Question 21 of 25
21. Question
A is 30% more efficient than B. How much time will they, working together, take to complete a job which A along could have done in 23 days?
Hint
Ratio of times taken by A and B
= 100 : 130 = 10 : 13.
Suppose B takes x days to do the work.
Then, 10 : 13 : : 23 : x
A’s 1 day’s work = ¹⁄₂₃th;
B’s 1 days work = ¹⁰⁄₂₉₉
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work
=
∴ A and B together can complete the job in 13 days.
- Question 22 of 25
22. Question
A man, a woman or a boy can do a job in 20 days, 30 days or 60 days respectively. How many boys must assist 2 men and 8 women to do the work in 2 days?
Hint
Man’s two day’s work
= 2×¹⁄₂₀th work
Woman’s two days’s work
Boy’s two day’s work
= 2×¹⁄₆₀th work = ¹⁄₃₀th work
Now, let 2 men, 8 women and x boys can complete work in 2 days. Then ,
2 men’s work +8 women’s work + x boy’s work =1
⇒ x = 8 boys
- Question 23 of 25
23. Question
One hundred men in 10 days do a third of a piece of work. The work is then required to be completed in another 13 days. On the next day (the eleventh day) 50 more men are employed, and on the day after that, another 50. How many men must be discharged at the end of the 18th day so that the rest of the men, working for the remaining time, will just complete the work?
Hint
Suppose that X men must be discharged at the end of the 18th day.
100 × 10 + 150 × 1 + 200 × 7 + (200 – X) × 5
= 100 × 30
5X = 550
⇒ X = 110 men
- Question 24 of 25
24. Question
If 15 women or 10 men can complete a project in 55 days, in how many days will 5 women and 4 men working together complete the same project?
Hint
15 W = 10 M
Now, 5W + 4M
=
= 5W + 6W = 11 W
If 15 women can complete the project in 55 days,
11 women can complete the same project in
- Question 25 of 25
25. Question
A alone would take 8 days more to complete the job than if both A and B would together. If B worked alone, he took 4½ days more to complete the job than A and B worked together. What time would they take if both A and B worked together?
Hint
Let if both A and B work together, they take x days.
∴ (A + B)’s 1 days’s work = 1/xth work.
A’s 1 day’s work
B’s 1 day’s work
Now,
⇒ x(2x + 9 – 2x + 16) = (x + 8)(2x + 9)
⇒ 4x² + 25x = 2x² + 25x + 72
⇒ x² = 36 ⇒ x = 6 days
