Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the problem.

8 days
Step 1
Matthew can complete a work in 10 days . So in 1 day it would complete 1/10 of the work .
So in 'x' days it would complete x/10 of the work .
Step 2
Shweta can complete a work in 15 days . So in 1 day it would complete 1/15 of the work .
So in 'x' days it would complete x/15 of the work .
Step 3
Here when both Matthew and Shweta work together , they complete only half of the work .
So the equation formed would be x/10 + x/15 = 1/2
Step 4
Solving this we get x = 3
Step 5
We know that the remaining work was completed by Matthew . So if Matthew takes 10 days to
complete the whole work , then it would take 10/2 days to complete half load of work left
Step 6
So the total time required to complete the work is 3 + 10/2 = 8 days .

Step 1
Let x = 2.181818...... equation(1)
Let us multiply both sides by 100:
100x = 218.1818.... equation(2)
Step 2
Let us subtract equation(1) from the equation(2):
100x - x = (218.1818...) - (2.181818......)
99x = 216
x=

p
q

216

11

(Writing x as p/q)

Now, p = 24 and q = 11
p + q = 24 + 11
p + q = 35
Step 3
Therefore, the value of (p + q) is 35.

Step 1
Pump A can fill the tank in 24 minutes . So in 1 minute it would fill 1/24 of the tank .
So in 'x' minutes it would fill x/24 of the tank .
Step 2
Similarly , Pump B can fill the tank in 12 minutes . So in 1 minute it would fill 1/12 of the tank .
So in 'x' minutes it would fill x/24 of the tank .
Step 3
Here when both the pumps are open , they together fill only half of the tank .
So the equation formed would be x/24 + x/12 = 1/2
Step 4
Solving this we get x = 4
Step 5
We know that the remaining half tank was filled by pump A . So if pump A takes 24 minutes to
fill the whole tank , then it would take 24/2 minutes to fill half of the tank
Step 6
So the total time taken to fill the tank is 4 + 24/2 = 16 minutes .
