many days the job will be finished, if they work together. Solution. Tuktukis 1 day work = Rasmanis 1 day work = (Tuktuki + Rasmani) 1 day work =
1 20 1 30 1 1 5 1 + = + 20 30 60 12 20 30 =12 20 + 30
(Tuktuki + Rasmani) will complete the job in 12 days. A lt ernat e: Required no. of days =
Example 3 Mary and Maurice can do a piece of work in 10 days and 15 days respectively. They work together for 3 days and then Maurice leaves. Mary finishes the remaining work alone. In how many days in the total work finished? Solution. (Mary + Maurice)s 1 day work = (Mary + Maurice) 3 day work =
1 1 5 1 + = = 10 15 30 6
3 1 = 6 2 1 1 = 2 2
Remaining work = 1
Mary does this piece of work in = 10 days Mary does the 1/2 piece of work in =
1 10 = 5 days 2
Hence, total number of days to finish the work = 3 + 5 = 8 days Example 4: Ravi and Rishi can do a piece of work in 24 days, Rishi and Ronit in 30 days, Ronit and Ravi in 40 days. In how many days will they finish it together and separately? Solution. (Ravi and Rishi)s 1 days work =1/24 (Rishi and Ronit)s 1 days work = 1/30 (Ronit and Ravi)s 1 days work = 1/40 On adding, we get 2 (Ravi + Rishi + Ronit)s 1 days work = (1/24 + 1/30 + 1/40) = 1/10 So,(Ravi + Rishi + Ronit)s 1 days work = 1/20 So, they all together can finish the work in 20 days. Ravis 1 days work = [(Ravi + Rishi + Ronit)s 1 days work] [(Rishi + Ronit)s 1 days work] = (1/20 1/30) = 1/60 So, Ravi alone can finish the work in 60 days. Similar ly, Rishis 1 day work = (1/20 1/40) = 1/40 So, Rishi alone can finish the work in 40 days And Ronits 1 day work = (1/20 1/24) = 1/120 2012 www.sscportal.in

So, Rishi alone can finish the work in 120 days. Example 5: 4 men and 5 women do a piece of work in 8 days while 5 men and 5 women finish it in 6 days. 3 men and 5 women will finish it in how many days? Solution. (4 men + 5 women)s 1 days work = 1 /8 (5 men + 5 women)s 1 days work 1/6 Sub tr acting, 1 mans 1 days work = (1 /6 1/8) = 1/24 (3 men + 5 women)s 1 days works = (1 /8 1/24) = 1/12 Thus, 3 men and 5 women will finish it in 12 days. Pipes and Cisterns A pipe or a tap connected with a tank (or a cistern or a reservoir) is called an inlet, if it fills it. A pipe or a tap connected with a tank (or a cistern or a reservoir) is called an outlet, if it empties it. General rules to be followed in the problems on Pipes and Cisterns 1. If a pipe can fill a tank in a hour, then the part filled in 1 h = 1 /a 2. If a pipe can empty a tank in b hour, then the part of the full tank emptied in 1 h = 1 / b 3. If a pipe can fill a tank in a hour and another pipe can empty the full tank in b hour, then the net part filled in 1 h, when both the pipes are opened = (1/a l/b) Thus, in Pipes and Cisterns a filling pipe or tap does positive work and an emptying pipe or a leak does negative work. Example 6: A pipe can fill 4 of cistern in 12 min. In how many minutes it fill Solution. Q Time taken to fill
3 of cistern 4 = 12 min 4 = 16min 3 1 of cistern. 2
Time taken to fill full cistern = 12 Time taken to fill 1/2 of cistern =
1 16 = 8 min 2 Example 7: A tap can fill a cistern in 20 min and another tap can fill in 30 min. If both are opened simultaneously, find the time when the cistern will be full.
1 1 1 = = 20 30 2
Tank will be filled in 12 min. Example 8: Pipe A can fill a tank in 15 min, pipe B in 18 min and a leak can empty the tank in 90 min. If all of them work together, find the time taken to fill the empty tank? Solution. Net part filled in 1 min = (1/15 + 1/18 1/90) = 1/9 So, the empty tank will be filled in 9 min. Example 9: Two taps A and B can fill a tank in 20 and 40 min respectively. Both the taps are opened and after 10 min tap A was shut. In how much more time will the tank be full? Solution. Part filled by (A+ B) in 10 min = 10 (1/20 + 1/40) = 10 3/40 = 3/4 Part of the tank to be filled = (13 /4) = 1/4 Now, 1/4th of the tank can be filled by B in (1/4) 40 = 10 min So, the tank would be full in 10 more min. 2012 www.sscportal.in
