Correct Answers:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
C A A D C C C B A C

Explanations:

1.
1 2
Q's 8 day’s work = [ × 8] ⇒
20 5

2 3
Remaining work = [1 – ⇒ .
5] 5

1
Now, work is done by P in 1 day.
25

3 3
∴ work is done by P in [25 × ] ⇒ 15 days.
5 5

Hence, option C is correct.

2.
1
(Nitin + Nirdosh)'s 1 day's work =
6

1
Nitin's 1 day's work =
24

∴ Nirdosh's 1 day's work

1 1 3 1
=[ – ]⇒ ⇒ .
6 24 24 8

Hence, Nirdosh can complete the work in 8 days.


Hence, option A is correct.

3. B's daily earning = Rs. (300 – 188) = Rs. 112.


A's daily earning = Rs. (300 – 152) = Rs. 148.
C's daily earning = Rs. [300 – (112 + 148)] = Rs. 40.

Hence, option A is correct.


4. 1 man's 1 day's work
1 1
= , (10 men + 15 women)'s 1 day's work = .
100 6

15 women's 1 day's work

1 10 1 1 1
=( – ) =( – )= .
6 100 6 10 15

1
∴ 1 woman's 1 day's work = .
225

Then, 1 woman alone can complete the work in 225 days.

Hence, option D is correct.

5. 1 day's work of the three persons


1 1 1
=[ + + ]
10 25 20

10 + 4 + 5 19
⇒ = .
100 100

So all the three together will complete the work in

100
= 5.3 days
19

Hence, option C is correct.

6. Son's 1 day's work


1 1 2
=( – )= .
3 5 15

∴ The son alone can do the work in

15 1
= 7 days.
2 2

Hence, option C is correct.


7. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach;

A and B do a piece of work in ‘a’ and ‘b’ days, respectively. Both begin together but after some days, A leaves
off and the remaining work is completed by B in ‘x’ days. Then, the time after which A left, is given by
(b – x)a
T= .
a+b

Given that a = 45 days, b = 40 days, x = 23, T = ?

By the short trick approach, we get

(40 – 23)45
=
45 + 40

17 × 45
= = 9 days.
85

Hence, option C is correct.

8. (A + B)'s 1 day's work


1 1 31
=( + )= .
11 20 220

(A + C)'s 1 day's work

1 1 6
=(
11 55) 55
+ = .

Work done in 2 days

31 6 55 1
=( + )= = .
220 55 220 4

1
Now, work is done by A in 2 days.
4

∴ Whole work will be done in (4 × 2) = 8 days.

Hence, option B is correct.


9. Let 1 man's 1 day's work = x and 1 boy's 1 day's work = y.
Then, 12x + 16y
1 1
= and 13x + 24y = .
5 4

Solving these two equations, we get: x


1 1
= and y = .
100 200

∴ Required ratio = x : y
1 1
= : = 2 : 1.
100 200

Hence, option A is correct.

10. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach:


A can do a work in x days and B can do the same work in y days. If they work together for ‘k’ days and A goes
away, then the number of days in which B finishes the y work is given by
y
y –(1 + ) k days.
x

A's time = x = 10 days


B's time = y = 20 days’
work together time = k = 5 days
By the short trick approach we get,
20
= 20 – (1 + ) × 5 days.
10

= 20 – (1 + 2) × 5 days
= (20 – 15) days = 5 days.
Hence, option C is correct.
