MATHS (SOLVED IN STEPS) TIME & WORK - (Page -2)

8. P can finish a work in 18 days. Q can finish the same work in 15 days. Q worked for 10 days and left the job. How many days does P alone need to finish the remaining work?
A. 8          B. 5           C. 4              D. 6
Answer : Option D
Explanation :Work done by P in 1 day = 1/18
Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/15
Work done by Q in 10 days = 10/15 = 2/3
Remaining work = 1 – 2/3 = 1/3
Number of days in which P can finish the remaining work = (1/3) / (1/18) = 6

9. P can do a work in the same time in which Q and R together can do it. If P and Q work together, the work can be completed in 10 days. R alone needs 50 days to complete the same work. then Q alone can do it in
A. 30 days                 B. 25 days                 C. 20 days               D. 15 days
Answer : Option B
Explanation : Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/10
Work done by R in 1 day = 1/50
Work done by P, Q and R in 1 day = 1/10 + 1/50 = 6/50
But Work done by P in 1 day = Work done by Q and R in 1 day . Hence the above equation can be written as Work done by P in 1 day × 2 = 6/50
=> Work done by P in 1 day = 3/50
=> Work done by Q and R in 1 day = 3/50
Hence work done by Q in 1 day = 3/50 – 1/50 = 2/50 = 1/25
So Q alone can do the work in 25 days

10. A completes 80% of a work in 20 days. Then B also joins and A and B together finish the remaining work in 3 days. How long does it need for B if he alone completes the work?
A. 37 ½ days                    B. 22 days               C. 31 days                  D. 22 days
Answer : Option A
Explanation :Work done by A in 20 days = 80/100 = 8/10 = 4/5
Work done by A in 1 day = (4/5) / 20 = 4/100 = 1/25 --- (1)
Work done by A and B in 3 days = 20/100 = 1/5 (Because remaining 20% is done in 3 days by A and B)
Work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/15 ---(2)
Work done by B in 1 day = 1/15 – 1/25 = 2/75
=> B can complete the work in 75/2 days = 37 ½ days


11. 3 men and 7 women can complete a work in 10 days . But 4 men and 6 women need 8 days to complete the same work . In how many days will 10 women complete the same work?
A. 50                  B. 40               C. 30                         D. 20
Answer : Option B
Explanation : Work done by 4 men and 6 women in 1 day = 1/8
Work done by 3 men and 7 women in 1 day = 1/10
Let 1 man does m work in 1 day and 1 woman does work in 1 day. The above equations can be written as
4m + 6w = 1/8 ---(1)
3m + 7w = 1/10 ---(2)
Solving equation (1) and (2) , we get m=11/400 and w=1/400
Amount of work 10 women can do in a day = 10 × (1/
400) = 1/40 Ie, 10 women can complete the work in 40 days

12. A and B can finish a work 30 days if they work together. They worked together for 20 days and then B left. A finished the remaining work in another 20 days. In how many days A alone can finish the work?
A. 60                   B. 50                C. 40                  D. 30
Answer : Option A
Explanation : Amount of work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/30
Amount of work done by A and B in 20 days = 20 × (1/ 30) = 20/30 = 2/3
Remaining work – 1 – 2/3 = 1/3
A completes 1/3 work in 20 days
Amount of work A can do in 1 day = (1/3)/20 = 1/60
=> A can complete the work in 60 days


13. A can complete a work in 12 days with a working of 8 hours per day. B can complete the same work in 8 days when working 10 hours a day. If A and B work together, working 8 hours a day, the work can be completed in --days.
A. 5 ⁵⁄₁₁             B. 4 ⁵/₁₁         C. 6 ⁴/₁₁      D. 6 ⁵/₁₁
Answer : Option A
Explanation : A can complete the work in 12 days working 8 hours a day
=> Number of hours A can complete the work = 12×8 = 96 hours
=> Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/96
B can complete the work in 8 days working 10 hours a day
=> Number of hours B can complete the work = 8×10 = 80 hours
=> Work done by B in 1 hour = 1/80
Work done by A and B in 1 hour = 1/96 + 1/80 = 11/480
=> A and B can complete the work in 480/11 hours
A and B works 8 hours a day
Hence total days to complete the work with A and B working together
= (480/11) / (8) = 60/11 days = 5 ⁵⁄₁₁ days

14. P is 30% more efficient than Q. P can complete a work in 23 days. If P and Q work together, how much time will it take to complete the same work?
A. 9                          B. 11                     C. 13               D. 15
Answer : Option C
Explanation : Work done by P in 1 day = 1/23
Let work done by Q in 1 day = q
q × (130/100) = 1/23
=> q = 100/(23×130) = 10/(23×13)
Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/23 + 10/(23×13) = 23/(23×13)= 1/13
=> P and Q together can do the work in 13 days
