9 C 19 A 29 C 39 B 49 D
10 D 20 A 30 C 40 C 50 A
Explanations:

1. Ram can complete 33.33% of a work = 1/3 of a work in 9 days

So, the number of days taken by him to complete the whole work = 9 × 3 = 27 days

Shayam can complete 25% of the same work = 1/4 of the work in 5 days

So, the number of days taken by Shayam to complete the whole work = 5 × 4 = 20 days

The ratio of the efficiency of Ram: Mohan = 2 : 1 (Mohan is 50% as efficient as Ram)

So, the ratio of the number of days taken by Ram and Mohan = 1 : 2 (Number of days is inversely
proportional to efficiency)

Let the number of days taken by Ram = x = 27 days

So, the number of days taken by Mohan = 2x = 2 × 27 = 54 days

1 1 1
If they work together then the total work done by them in one days = + +
27 20 54

20 + 27 + 10 57
= =
540 540

540 27
Number of days taken by them = = 9 days
57 57

Hence, option A is correct.

2. Rajkumar can do a piece of work in 45 days

1
Part of work Rajkumar can do in a day =
45

Nishant can do a piece of work in 36 days.

1
Part of work Nishant can do in a day =
36

15 15 3
∴ Part of work Rajkumar and Nishant can do in 15 days together = + =
45 36 4

3 1
∴ Remaining part of work = 1 – =
4 4
th
Neelesh finishes 1/4 part of the work in 11 days

∴ Neelesh can complete the whole work alone in = = 44 days

Hence, option B is correct.
3. Let the efficiency of John = x then the efficiency of Ram = 3x

And John is 50% as efficient as Jonny

Therefore, 50% of Jonny efficiency = John’s efficiency = x

100
Jonny’s efficiency = x × = 2x
50

The respective ratio of Ram’s, John’s and Jonny’s efficiency = 3: 1: 2

We know that time is inversely proportional to efficiency so the respective ratio of time taken
1
= : 1 : 1/2 = 2 : 6 : 3
3

Therefore, let us assume that the time taken by Ram = 2y days

the time taken by John = 6y days

the time taken by Jonny = 3y days

according to the question, 3y – 2y = y = 15

it means, the time taken by Ram = 2y days = 30 days

the time taken by John = 6y days = 90 days

the time taken by Jonny = 3y days = 45 days

1 1 1 6
when they all work together then the total units of work in one days = + + = units
30 90 45 90

90
so, the total time taken = = 15 days
6

Hence, option C is correct.

4. Total number of workers need to complete the work in 3 days = M1D1 = M2D2

Let the number of workers = x then 54 × 8 = X × 3, x = 18 × 8 = 144

3240
Each worker will receive = 22.5
144

3240
In the first case when the work was completed in 8 days each worker received = = 60
54

Required difference = Rs. 37.5

Hence, option B is correct.
5. The total work is done by x men in 10 days = 10 × x units
50x
66.67% more than the total work = (100 + 66.67) % of 10 × x = 166.67% of 10x = units
3
50x 50x
Let y men take n days to complete 50x/3 units then, Y × n = ,n=
3 3y
Hence, option C is correct.

In 6 hours, both can make = 5 cartoons

For making 50 cartoons they need 10 such periods.

So, total time taken by both to make 50 cartoons = 10 × 6 = 60 hours.

The target gets completed by 18 April 12 am.

Hence, option D is correct.

 Traditional Method:-

The cartoonist takes 2 hours/cartoon and the helper takes 3 hours/cartoon.

24
Cartoons made by Cartoonist in 1 day = = 12 cartoons
2

24
Cartoons made by helper in 1 day = = 8 cartoons
3

Cartoons made by Cartoonist in 2 days = 24 cartoons

Cartoons made by helper in 2 days = 16 cartoons

Total cartoons made in 2 days = 24 + 16 = 40 cartoons

Remaining cartoons = 50 – 40 = 10

In the next 12 hours, Cartoonist makes

12 12
= = 6 cartoons and helper makes = = 4 cartoons
2 3

So the target is completed in = 48 + 12 = 60 hours

The target gets completed by 18 April 12 am.

Time taken for making 100 pizzas = = 1000 mins
2

Total time taken = 400 + 1000= 1400 mins

1400
= = 23 hours 20 minutes
60

Target will be completed at 11 : 20 am on Sunday.

Hence, option C is correct.

17. Let the total work be LCM {15, 20 and 25} = 300 units

300
Number of units of work done by man in 1 day = = 20 units
15

300
Number of units of work done by woman in 1 day = = 15 units
20

300
Number of units of work done by child in 1 day = = 12 units
25

Number of units of work done by all of them in 5 days = {15 + 20 + 25} × 5 = 47 × 5 = 235 units

Number of units left = 300 – 235 = 65

Now the child left, rest of 65 units is completed by man and woman. So, we need not solve for the rest
65 units.

15000
Wage per unit of work = = 50
300

Units completed by child = 12 × 5 = 60 unit

So the share of the child = 60 × 50 = Rs. 3000

Hence, option A is correct.

18. Let the total work correspond to 72 units. Let A and B respectively do a and b units of work per day.

72
A can build the wall in 18 days i.e. a = =4
18

A works alone for 2 days while A and B work together for 4 days.

∴ 2a + 4(a + b) = 72

∴ 6a + 4b = 72 i.e. 3a + 2b = 36

∴ 3(4) + 2b = 36

∴ 2b = 24 i.e. b = 12

72
∴ Time taken by B alone = = 6 days
12

Hence, option B is correct.

 Smart Approach:-

A can build a wall in 18 days. He starts building alone, B joins him after two days and together they
complete the wall in 4 more days.

It implied that A works for (2 + 4) days = 6 days.

So in 6 days, A can complete (6/18) = 1/3 of the total work

=> B completes (1 – 1/3) = 2/3 of the total work in 4 days.

So B can complete the entire work in 6 days.

Hence, option B is correct.

19. Let the work be LCM {8, 9} = 72 units

72
Number of units of work done by Man, woman and child together in one hour = = 9 units
8

72
Number of units of work done by Man and woman together in one hour = = 8 units
9

Number of units of work done by child alone in one hour = 9 – 8 = 1 unit

Number of units of work done by woman alone in one hour = 2 units

So, number of units of work done by Man alone in one hour = 8 – 2 = 6 units

72 2
Time taken by man and child to complete the work = = 10 hours
6+1 7

Hence, option A is correct.

20. Let us suppose that Rakesh and Reena receive Rs. x and (x – 2) respectively, on the first day.

{ x + (x – 2)} + {(x + 5) + (x + 5 – 2)} + {(x + 10) + (x + 10 – 2} + {(x + 15) + (x + 15 – 2)} + {(x + 20) + (x + 20
– 2)} + {(x + 25) + (x + 25 – 2)} = 2400

2x – 2 + 2x + 8 + 2x + 18 + 2x + 28 + 2x + 38 + 2x + 48 = 2400

12x + 138 = 2400

x = 188.5

Amount they will receive on the 4th day = 2x + 28 = Rs. 405

Hence, option A is correct.

⇒ 800M + 1400W = 750M + 1650W

⇒ 50M = 250W

⇒ M = 5W

Now,

(200M + 350W) × 40 = (70M + 100W) × D

⇒ (1000W + 350W) × 40 = (350W + 100W) × D

Hence, option A is correct.

26. Here the ratio of efficiencies of P and R is 7 : 4.

So, the number of days taken by P and R be 4x and 7x.

And we know that P takes 9 days less than R to complete the work.

⇒ 7x – 4x = 9
⇒ 3x = 9
∴ x = 3 days

So, time taken by P and R to complete the work is 12 days and 21 days respectively.

We have the ratio of the no. of days taken by Q and R to complete the wokr = 2 : 3

2
Now, time taken by Q to complete the work = × 21 = 14 days
3

Now, work done by Q and R together in 1 day

16
time taken by P to complete 16/21 of the work = 12 × = 64/7 days
21
Thus, P will take 64/7 days to complete the remaining work.
Hence, option A is correct.

Hence, option C is correct.

Alternate method:-
Total unit of work = LCM of 12 and 24 = 24 units
In 1 days Divya can complete = 1 unit
In (10 + 6) days Divya can complete = 16 units
In 1 day Deepti can break = 2 units
In 6 days Deepti can break = 12 units
Total units of wall built = (16 – 12) units = 4 units
So total 20 units are remaining to built by Divya who will take 20 days as she can built 1 unit/day.
Hence option C is correct.

32. We know that,

On 3rd day, 8 × 4 = 32 units

On 4th day, 7 × 4 = 28 units

On 5th day, 6 × 4 = 24 units

On 6th day, 5 × 4 = 20 units

On 7th day, 4 × 4 = 16 units

On 8th day, 3 × 4 = 12 units

The total units of work done by them in 8 days = (40 + 36 + 32 + 28 + 24 + 20 + 16 + 12) = 208 units

The efficiency of one woman = 75% of 4 = 3 units per day

Triple of the work = 208 × 3 units

The double of the time = 8 × 2 = 16 days

Let x women work together then, x × 3 × 16 = 208 × 3

x = 13 = The number of women

In one day X can do the 1/20th of the work.

Y can do the 1/7th of the work in 5 days, so he can do the same work in 7 × 5 = 35 days.

In one day Y can do the 1/35th of the work.

In one day X and Y together can do the 1/20 + 1/35 work

= 1/20 + 1/35 = (7 + 4) / 140 = 11/140th work

11/140 work is done in 1 day

45. Let us represent Sanju, Ranveer and Bhuvan by S, R and B respectively.

Efficiency of Ranveer and Sanju → R : S = 5 : 4

Efficiency of Sanju and Bhuvan → S : B = 1 : 2

→R:S:B=5:4:8

Given that Sanju and Bhuvan together can complete the work in 25/3 days.

S + B = 4 + 8 = 12

25
Total work = 12 × = 100 units

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

46. Let us denote Arush, Pranjal and Sameer by A, P and S respectively.

According to the question,

When A and S together do 3 units of work, then P will do 1 unit of work

A + S = 3 units P = 1 unit

When A and P together do 2 units of work, then S will do 1 unit of work

A + P = 2 units S = 1 unit

When we add, we get

A+S+P→4
A+P+S→3

But they must be equal, so multiply to equate,

{A + S + P → 4} × 3
{A + P + S → 3} × 4

We get, P = 3, S = 4
P+S=7
A + P + S = 12
A = 12 – 7 = 5
