Directions: Read the following information to answer the question.
Explanation :
B's 1 day's work =1/12- 1/20
=2/60=1/30
Now, (A + B)'s 1 day's work =1/20+1/60
=4/60= 1/15
. [ B works for half day only ]
So, A and B together will complete the work in 15 days.
Directions: Read the following information to answer the question.
Explanation :
Suppose B takes x days to do the work.
A takes {2 x3/4}x=3x/2
days to do it.
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1/18
1/x=2/3x=1/18
or x = 30
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.
At 4:00 , the angle between the 2 hands of the clock the angle is 120 degree.
The minute hands run at 6 degree/minute & the hour hand run at ½ degree per minute .
30 /(6-1/2) = 60/11 = 4:05 :27.
Zero or more Cherries can be selected in 4 + 1 = 5 ways (0 cherry, 1 cherry, 2 cherries, 3 cherries and 4 cherries)
Similarly pomegranates can be selected in 7 +1 = 8 ways
And guavas in 6 +1 = 7 ways
So total number of ways = 5*8*7 = 280
But we included a case of 0 cherry, 0 pomegranate and 0 guava, so we have to subtract this, so 280 – 1 = 279 ways
