Directions: Read the following information to answer the question.
Explanation :
Let A and B together take x hours to complete the work. Then,
A alone takes (x + 8) hrs and B alone takes x +9/2 hrs to complete the work, Then,
1/(x + 8)+1/{x + 9/2}=1/x
1/(x + 8)+2/(2x + 9)=1/x
x (4x + 25) = (x + 8) (2x + 9)
2x2 = 72
x^2 = 36
x = 6.
Directions: Read the following information to answer the question.
Explanation :
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1/72
(B + C)'s 1 day's work = 1/120
; (A + C)'s 1 day's work =1/90
Adding, we get: 2(A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work =1/72+1/120+1/90=12/360=1/30
(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work =1/60
So, A’s 1 day’s work =1/60-1/120 =1/120
A alone can do that work in 120 days.
Directions: Read the following information to answer the question.
Explanation :
Let A’s 1 day’s work = x and B’s 1 day’s work = y.
Then, x + y =1/5and 2x +1/3
y =1/3
Solving, we get : x =4/25
and y = 1/25
A's 1 day's work =4/25
So, A alone could complete the work in 25/4days
Directions: Read the following information to answer the question.
Explanation :
(A + B)'s 20 days' work ={1/30} x 20=2/3
. Remaining work =1 -2/3=1/3
Now,1/3
work is done by A in 20 days.
Whole work will be done by A in (20 x 3) = 60 days.
Directions: Read the following information to answer the question.
Explanation :
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work = 1/45+ 1/40
=17/360
Work done by B in 23 days ={1/40} x 23 =23/40
. Remaining work =1 -23/40
=17/40
Now, 17/360 Work was done by (A + B) in 1 day.
17/40work was done by (A + B) in1 x{360/17}x17/40
= 9 days.
A left after 9 days.
