Question 1

A can finish a work in 5 days. B can do the same work in 7 days. They work together for 2 days. The fraction of work that is left is?

${11/35}$.

$1{11/35}$.

${11/34}$.

${1/3}$.

Soln.
Ans: a

They together finish $1/5 + 1/7$ work in a day. In 2 days they finish 2 × $(1/5 + 1/7)$ work, which is $24/35$. So the un-finished work is 1 - $24/35$ = ${11/35}$.

Question 2

A can finish a work in 6 days. B can do the same work in 15 days. They work together for 4 days. The fraction of work that is left is?

${1/15}$.

$1{1/15}$.

${1/14}$.

${1/8}$.

Soln.
Ans: a

They together finish $1/6 + 1/15$ work in a day. In 4 days they finish 4 × $(1/6 + 1/15)$ work, which is $84/90$. So the un-finished work is 1 - $84/90$ = ${1/15}$.

Question 3

A can do a piece of work in 39 days. B is 30% more efficient than A. In how many days will they complete the work if they work together?

$16{22/23}$ days.

17 days.

$17{1/23}$ days.

$17{2/23}$ days.

Soln.
Ans: a

Let us first calculate the one day work of B. One day work of A is given as $1/39$. If B is 30% efficient, then one day work of B is $1/39$ × $130/100$ = $1/30$. Putting x = 39 and y = 30 in the shortcut method, we get ${xy}/{x + y}$ = ${390/23}$, which is same as: $16{22/23}$.

Question 4

If 70 men can do a task in 17 days, how many men are required to complete the task in 14 days?

85.

15.

13.

17.

Soln.
Ans: a

If m₁ men can do a task in d₁ days, and m₂ in d₂, then we must have m₁ × d₁ = m₂ × d₂. Putting m₁ = 70, d₁ = 17 and d₂ = 14, we get m₂ = 85.

Question 5

A new tub can be filled by a tap in 13 minutes. But the tub is worn out, and there is a leakage that can empty the tub in 17 minutes. In how many minutes will the tap be able to fill the tub?

$55{1/4}$ mins.

$56{1/4}$ mins.

$57{1/4}$ mins.

$58{1/4}$ mins.

Soln.
Ans: a

Putting x = 13 and y = 17 in the shortcut method, we get ${xy}/{y - x}$ = ${221/4}$, which is same as: $55{1/4}$.
