 The digits of a two-digit number are in the ratio of 2 : 3 and the number obtained by
interchanging the digits is bigger than the original number by 27.What is the
original number?
ব্যাখ্যা
Let the digits are 2x and 3x .
If 2x is unit-place digit and 3x is tenth-place digit, then the number is (3x)10+2x = 32x
By reversing the digits, number obtained is (2x)10 + 3x = 23x
Since the difference is 27, we have 9x = 27 or x = 3
hence digits are 6 and 9 and original number is 69
 What least number would be subtracted from 427398 so that the remaining

many days the remaining work will be completed by 20 women working 4 hours
each day such that 4 women do as much work as is done by 2 men?
4 w = 2m, so 1w = 1/2 m
And then 20 w = 10 m, so we have to find the number of days for 10 men to complete
remaining work (1 – 2/5) = 3/5th .
M1×D1×H1×W2 = M2×D2×H2×W1
20×10×6×(3/5) = 10×D2×4×(2/5)

6m + 8b = 6 × (3/2) b + 9b = 18 b
So we have to find the number of days for 18 boys

Affairscloud
3 boys do 1 work in 14 days working 6 hours, let 18 boys do twice work in x days

finished?
Let 100 men complete x work in 10 days after which (100+60) = 160 men complete the
remaining (1-x) work in remaining 10 days [Total work to be completed in 20 days] So,
M1×D1×W2 = M2×D2×W1
100×10×(1-x) = 160×10×x
Solve, x= 5/13
This means that initially employed 100 men can finish 5/13th of work in 10 days, so let
they will complete 1 whole work in x days.
M1×D1×W2 = M2×D2×W1
100×10×1 = 100×x×(5/13)
Solve, x = 26
This means extra (26-20) = 6 days will be required if additional men are not employed

Affairscloud
After 2 days, let x food was left, which means that 10 people ate x food for 3 days, so let
us find the number of days for which x food has lasted for 20 people.
Eating burgers will be considered as a work. So
M1×D1×W2 = M2×D2×W1
10×3×x = 20×D2×x
Solve D2 = 3/2
So 20 people first ate the food for 2 days, after it the remaining food they would have
eaten in 3/2 days more so total (2 + 3/2) days
 10 machines can wash 20 cars in 6 hours. In how many hours can 15 machines

 2 men and 4 women can complete a job in 5 days. Also same job can be completed
by 3 men and 8 women in 3 days. In how many days, twice the job can be

2m + 4w = 5D, so 10m + 20w = 1D
3m + 8w = 3D, so 9m + 24w = 1D
So, 10m + 20w = 9m + 24w
Solve, 1m = 4w
From 1st equation(2m + 4w = 5D), 2×4w + 4w = 5D, or 12 women can do in 5 days, so 1
women in 12×5 = 60 days.

Affairscloud
Now 3m+3w = 3×4w + 3w = 15 w

1 women in 60 days, so 15 women in 60/15 = 4 days
But we are required to find twice work, so 15 women 1 work in 4 days so twice work in 8
days
 A job that can be completed by 2 men and 6 women in 10 days will be completed
by 5 men and 15 women in how many days?
2m + 6w = 10 D So 5(1m + 3w) = 20/5
Or 2(1m + 3w) = 10D Or 5m + 15w = 4D
Or 1m + 3w = 20D
 There is sufficient food for 40 men for a 15 days picnic. If after 6 days 4 men leave,

Affairscloud
Remaining work = 1 – 2/7 = 5/7

After 18 days, 5 women left and 2 men joined so 4 women joined (1m = 2w), now

10×18×6×(5/7) = 9×D2×6×(2/7)
Solve, D2 = 50
 20 carpets are to weave by 40 women in 50 days working 8 hours per day. After 20
days, order of 6 more carpets came. To complete the total work on time, how many
more hours per day they will have to work?
First find the number of carpets weave in first 20 days, after which order of more carpets
came. So,
In 50 days, 20 carpets, so in 20 days 20×20/50 = 8 carpets
So in remaining 30 days, (20-8) = 12 carpets can be weave working 8 hrs each day
Now number of carpets is (12+6) = 18, let no of hours is x, so
H1×W2 = H2×W1
8×18 = x×12
Solve, x = 12 hrs
So more hrs = 12-8 = 4 hrs

 In a class, 60% of the students are boys and in an examination, 80% of the girls
scored more than 40 marks(Maximum Marks:150). If 60% of the total students
scored more than 40 marks in the same exam, what is the fraction of the boys who
scored 40 marks or less.
Assume Total no of students = 100
60% of the students are boys. so Boys=60,Girls=40
No. of girls who scored more than 40 marks = 80% of girls = 80% of 40 = 32.

Ratio of last year income to this year income of A is 9 : 10. So income of A last year is
9x and this year is 10x.
Ratio of last year income to this year income of B is 13 : 15. So income of B last year is
13y and this year is 15y.
So ratio of the incomes of A and B last year was 9x : 13y
Now given that ratio of the incomes of A and B last year was 9 : 13.
So 9x/13y = 9/13
This gives x = y
Total of incomes of A and B this year = 10x+15y = 10x+15x = 25 x (because

 The incomes of A and B are in the ratio 1 : 2 and their expenditures are in the ratio
2 : 5. If A saves Rs 20,000 and B saves Rs 35,000, what is the total income of A
and B?
Income of A = x, of B = 2x
Expenditure of A = 2y, of B = 5y
Savings is (income – expenditure). So
x – 2y = 20,000
2x – 5y = 35,000
Solve the equations, x = 30,000
So total = x+2x = 3x = 3×30,000 = 90,000

Answer: -A
Basic Formula:
i) Speed in still water = ´ (a+b) kmph where ‗a‘ is speed
downstream and ‗b‘ is speed upstream
ii) a km / hr = a x 5/18 m /s
iii) a m/sec = a x 18/5 km/hr
Speed upstream ‗b‘ = 750m / 775 sec = 30/31 m/sec
Speed downstream ‗a‘ = 750 m/ (15/2)minutes [ 1min=60 sec] a = 750m/450 sec =5/3
m/sec
speed in still water = ½ (a+b)

Answer: - C
Basic Formula:
Speed of current = ½ (a-b) km/hr
Let man‘s rate upstream be x km/hr. Then his rate downstream is 3 x km/hr
Given:
Speed in still water = 9 (1/3) = 28/3 km/hr
i.e, ½ (a+b) = 28/3 km/hr
½ (x+3x) = 28/3
2x = 28/3 x = 28/ 2 x 3 = 14/3 km/hr
rate upstream b = 14/3 km/hr and
rate downstream a = 14/3 x 3 = 14 km/hr
speed of the current = ½ (a-b) = ½ (14 – 14/3)
= ½ (42-14/3) = 28/6 = 4 (2/3) km/hr

to the starting point in 2 hours. Find the speed of boat in still water.
Distance = time × [B2– R2] / 2×B (B-8)(B+2) = 0
6 = 2 × [B2– 42] / 2×B So B = 8
B2– 6B – 16 = 0
 It takes five times as long to row a distance against the stream as to row the same
distance in favor of the stream. What is the ratio of the speed of the boat in still
water to that of stream?
Use:
B = [tu + td] / [tu – td] × R
So, B =[5x + x] / [5x- x] × R

So, B/R = 6/4 = 3/2

 A boat running downstream covers a distance of 32 km in 4 hrs and for covering
the same distance upstream it takes 8 hrs. What is the speed of the stream?
So speed of stream = 1/2×(8-4)
6km/hr and the speed of the boat in still water is 9 km/hr, what is the distance
between A and B?
Downstream speed = 9+6 = 15 then distance BC = d/2
Upstream speed = 9-6 = 3 Now distance/speed = time, so
Now total time is 28 hours d/15 + (d/2)/3= 28
If distance between A and B is d, Solve, d = 120 km
 Speed of a man in still water is 5 km/hr and the river is running at 3km/hr. The
total time taken to go to a place and come back is 10 hours. What is the distance

Down speed= 5+3= 8 (X/8)+(X/2)= 10
Up speed= 5-3=2 X= 16 km
Let distance travelled = X Total distance is 16+16=32
 A boat can travel 20 km downstream in 24 min. The ratio of the speed of the boat
in still water to the speed of the stream is 4 : 1. How much time will the boat take
to cover 15 km upstream?
Down speed =20/24×60=50km/hr Downstream speed = 4x+x=5x
4:1 =4x:x Upstream speed = 4x-x=3x

5x= 50; x=10 Time = 15/30×60= 30min.

 A boat whose speed in 20 km/hr in still water goes 40 km downstream and comes
back in a total of 5 hours. The approx. speed of the stream (in km/hr) is:
Let the speed of the stream be x km/hr. Speed upstream = (20 – x) km/hr.
Then, 40/20+x + 40/20-x = 5
Speed downstream = (20 + x) km/hr, X = 9 approx
 A boat covers a certain distance downstream in 2 hour, while it comes back in 2
1/2 hours. If the speed of the stream be 5 kmph, what is the speed of the boat in
still water?
Let the speed of the boat in still water be Speed upstream = (x – 5) kmph.

will be full?
A = 12 hours, B = 15 hours 2×6(12) hours work of (A+B) = 9×6 =
Total work = LCM(12,15) = 60 54
So efficiency of A = 60/12 = 5, So remaining work = 60-54 = 6
efficiency of B = 60/15 = 4 Now A‘s turn at 13th hour,
2 hrs work of (A+B) = 5+4 = 9 he will do remaining work(6) in 6/12 hr

 A and B are pipes such that A can empty the tank in 60 minutes and B can fill in 30
minutes. The tank is full of water and pipe A is opened. If after 18 minutes, pipe B is
also opened, then in how much total time the tank will be full again?
Emptying pipe A is opened first for 18 minutes, so in 18 minutes the part of tank it has
emptied is (1/60)×18 = 9/30
Now filling pipe is also opened, now since only 9/30 of the tank is empty so 9/30 is only
to be filled by both pipes, let it take now x minutes, so
(1/30 – 1/60)×x = 9/30
Solve, x= 18
So total = 18+18 = 36 minutes [total time is asked – 18 minutes when emptyimh pipe was

 Two pipes A and B can alone fill a tank in 20 minutes and 30 minutes respectively.
But due to a leak at the bottom of tank, it took 3 more minutes to fill the tank. In how
many hours, the leak can alone empty the full tank?
A and B can fill tank in (1/20 + 1/30) = 1/12 so 12 minutes
But it took 3 more minutes, this means the tank got full in 12+3 = 15 minutes
So (1/20 + 1/30 – 1/x) = 1/15

In first hour, part of cistern filled is (1/10 + 1/12) = 11/60
In second hour, part of cistern filled is (1/10 + 1/15) = 1/6
So in 2 hours, part of cistern filled is 11/60 + 10/60 = 21/60 = 7/20
now in 2×2 (4) hours, part of cistern filled is (7/20)×2 = 14/20 = 7/10
now in the 5th hour, A+B‘s turn which fill 11/60 in that hour, but the cistern remaining to
be filled is (1 – 7/10) = 3/10, since 3/10 is more than 11/60, so after 5th hour remaining
part to be filled is 3/10 – 11/60 = 7/60
now in 6th hour, (A+C)‘s turn, it will fill remaining 7/60 in (7/60)×(6/1) = 7/10

full?
Since 1/4th is already filled, 3/4th is to (7/60)×5 + (7/60 – 1/30)×x = 3/4
filled now. (5/60)×x = 2/12
So Solve, x = 2 mins
(1/15 + 1/20)×(5+x) – (1/30)×x = 3/4 So total 7 minutes
 Pipes A, B and C which fill the tank together in 6 hours are opened for 2 hours after

the remaining tank is filled in 7 hours.
1/A + 1/B + 1/C = 1/6 Put 1/A + 1/B = 1/6 – 1/C
Now given that first all open for 2 hours, (1/6 – 1/C + 1/C) ×2 + (1/6 – 1/C)×7 = 1
then C closed and A+B completes in 7 2/6 + 7/6 – 7/C = 1

In first hour only A is opened, in the next hour A and B are opened and in the third hour
A, B and C are opened.
So, in three hours (3/12 + 2/15 + 1/30) = 25/60 tank is already filled.

tank, 1/5 of the water filled by the pipe leaks out. Find the time in which the tank is
filled.
Amount of tank filled by the pipe in one minute = 1/20 and due to leakage 1/5 of 1/20
leaks out so, [1/20 – (1/5)×(1/20)]×T = 1
We get T = 25

 A bathing tub can be filled by a cold pipe in 15 minutes and by a hot pipe in 10
minutes. Ramesh opened both the tap and leaves the bathroom and returns at the time
when the tub should be full. He observed that a waste pipe is opened at the bottom, he
now closes it. Now the tub will take more 5 minutes to fill the tank, find the time in
which the leak can empty the tank.
(1/15 + 1/10 – 1/x)×6 + (1/15 + 1/10)×5 = 1
x = 36/5
 Pipe A is 4 times as fast as B in filling a tank. If A takes 20 minutes to fill a tank, then
what is the time taken by both the pipe A and B to fill the tank?
A takes 20 minutes and it is 4 times faster than B, it means B will take 80 minutes to fill
the tank.
(1/20 + 1/80)×t = 1. We get t = 16
 Pipe A is 4 times faster than pipe B and takes 45 minutes less to fill a tank. When
both the pipes are opened together than the time in which the tank will be full.
Let A take X minute to fill a tank then B will take 4x time.
4x – x = 45 (given), X = 15.
Time taken to fill the tank together = (1/15 + 1/60)×t =1
T = 12 minute
 Two pipes P and Q can fill a tank in 20 minutes and 30 minutes respectively. There is
a waste pipe which withdraws water at the rate of 8 litres per minute. Now the tank is
full and If all the pipes are opened simultaneously the tank is emptied in 60 minutes.
Find the capacity of the tank.
(1/20 + 1/30 – 1/t)×60 = -1
‗-1‘ is taken because the work is negative. T is the time taken by the waste pipe to empty
the tank alone. We will t = 10

Affairscloud
So capacity = 10×8 = 80ltr

 There are 4 filling pipes and 3 emptying pipes capable of filling and emptying in 12
minutes and 15 minutes respectively. If all the pipes are opened together and as a
result they fill 10 litres of water per minute. Find the capacity of the tank.
(4/12 – 3/15)×t = 1
t = 15/2 minute – in this time the tank will be filled. So the capacity = (15/2)×10 = 75

 A pipe can empty a tank in 60 minutes alone. Another pipe whose diameter is twice
the diameter of first pipe is also opened. Now find the time in which both pipe will
empty the tank together.
Time taken by pipe to empty the tank is inversely proportional to cross- sectional area.
So, time taken by second pipe will be = 60/4 = 15 min (πr2 = 1/60 and for second pipe
4πr2 = 1/T so we get T = 15 min)
Time taken by both to empty the pipe = (60×15)/75 = 12
 Two pipes P and Q can fill a tank in 10 min and 12 min respectively and a waste pipe
can carry off 12 litres of water per minute. If all the pipes are opened when the tank is

 Three pipes P, Q and R can fill a tank in 12, 15 and 20 minutes respectively. If pipe P
is opened all the time and pipe Q and R are opened for one hour alternatively. The
tank will be full in
(1/12 + 1/15) + (1/12 + 1/20) = 17/60 (in 2 hrs this much tank is filled)
so in 6 hrs 51/60 is filled. Remaining, 9/60 = (1/12 + 1/15)×t, so T = 1hr
so total = 6 + 1 = 7 hr
 A cistern can be filled by a pipe in 6 hours. A leak is developed at the bottom due to
which it takes 2 hours more to fill the cistern. Find the time taken by the leak to

1/6 – 1/T = 1/8, solve for T
 A pipe can fill a tank in 20 minutes and another pipe can fill the tank in 40 minutes.
There is a waste pipe which can empty the tank in 15 minutes. First two pipes are
opened for 5 minutes and then the third pipe is also opened. In what time the cistern is
emptied after the third pipe also opened
(1/20 + 1/40)×5 + (1/20 + 1/40 – 1/15)×T = 1
 Two pipes can separately fill the tank in 15hrs and 30hrs respectively. Both the pipe
are opened and when the tank is 1/3 full a leak is developed due to which 1/3 water
supplied by the pipe leaks out. What is the total time to fill the tank?
(1/15 + 1/30)×T1 = 1/3, T1 = 10/3 hr
now after leak is developed, [(1/15 + 1/30) – (1/3)×(1/15 + 1/30)]×T2 = 2/3
T2 = 10 hr. So total time = 10 + 10/3 = 40/3 hr
 Pipe P is 4 times as fast as Q in filling a tank. If P takes 20 minutes to fill a tank, then
what is the time taken by both the pipe P and Q to fill the tank?

Affairscloud
P takes 20 minutes and it is 4 times faster than Q, it means Q will take 80 minutes to fill
the tank.
(1/20 + 1/80)×t = 1. We get t = 16
 In what time a cistern is filled by three pipes of diameter 2cm, 4cm and 6cm
respectively. If the time taken by largest pipe to fill the tank is 40 minutes. Amount of
water flowing through the pipe is proportional to the diameter of the pipe
Larger the cross-section area less will be time taken by pipe to fill the tank.
36/16 = T/40, T = 90min (for 4 cm pipe)
similarly for 2 cm pipe time taken will be = 360min
Total time = (1/360 + 1/90 + 1/40) = 1/p, so we get P = 25.5/7 minutes
 Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 10 hours and 15 hours respectively while a third
pipe C can empty the full tank in 20 hours. All the pipes are opened for 5 hours and
then C is closed. Find the time in which the tank is full?
(1/10 + 1/15 – 1/20)×5 + (1/10 + 1/15)×T = 1. We will get T = 2.5 hrs
so total time = 5 + 2.5 = 7.5 hrs
 Three pipe P, Q and R can fill a tank in 12 minutes, 18 minutes and 24 minutes
respectively. The pipe R is closed 12 minutes before the tank is filled. In what time
the tank is full?
Let T is the time taken by the pipes to fill the tank
(1/12 + 1/18 + 1/24)×(T – 12) + (1/12 + 1/18)×12 = 1
We will get T = 108/13 = 8.(4/13) hrs
 On pipe P is 4 times faster than pipe Q and takes 45 minutes less than pipe Q. In what
time the cistern is full if both the pipes are opened together?
Let P takes x minutes to fill the tank alone, then Q will take 4x minutes to fill the tank
4x – x = 45, x = 15

Affairscloud
So P will take 15 minutes and Q will take 60 minutes to fill the tank. Both will fill the
tank in
(60×15)/(75) = 12 minutes
 Two pipes can fill a tank in 15 and 20 hours respectively. The pipes are opened
simultaneously and it is found that due to the leakage in the bottom, 17/7 hours extra
are taken extra to fill the tank. If the tank is full, in what approximate time would the
leak empty it?
Total time taken by both pipes before the leak was developed = 60/7 hours
now, leaks is developed which will take T time to empty the tank so, (1/15 +1/20 – 1/T) =
1/11
solve for T, we will get 660/17 hours = 39 hours (approx.)
 Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 8 minutes and 12 minutes respectively. If both
the pipes are openedsimultaneously, after what time should B be closed so that the
tank is full in 6 minutes?
Let after x minutes pipe B is closed
(1/8 + 1/12)×x + (1/8)×(6 -x) = 1
X= 3 minutes
 In what time would a cistern be filled by three pipes whose diameters are 1cm, 2 cm
and 3 cm running together, when the largest pipe alone can fill the tank in 21
minutes? The amount of water flowing through the pipe is directly proportional to the
square of its diameter.
More the diameter more will be the water flowing through it and less will be the time
taken.
Means bigger pipe will take less time to fill the tank
So, for 1 cm time, (12)/(32) = 21/t, we get t = 189
For 2 cm time, (22)/(32) = 21/t. We get t = 189/4
So total time = 1/21 + 1/189 + 4/189 = 2/27

Affairscloud
So total time = 13.5 minutes

 Two pipes P and Q can fill a tank in 10 min and 12 min respectively and a waste pipe
can carry off 12 litres of water per minute. If all the pipes are opened when the tank is
full and it takes one hour to empty the tank. Find the capacity of the tank.
Let the waste pipe take ‗T‘ time to empty the tank.
(1/10 + 1/12 – 1/T)×60 = -1
We will get T = 5 min
 One pipe fill 1/4 of the tank in 4 minutes and another pipe fills 1/5 of the tank in 4
minutes. Find the time taken by both pipe together to fill half the tank?
First pipe will take 16 minutes to fill the tank alone. Similarly second pipe will take 20
minutes to fill the tank alone. Let T is the time in which both the pipes will fill half the
tank
(1/16 + 1/20)×T = 1/2, we get T = 40/9 minutes
 Two pipes can separately fill the tank in 15hrs and 30hrs respectively. Both the pipe
are opened and when the tank is 1/3 full a leak is developed due to which 1/3 water
supplied by the pipe leaks out. What is the total time to fill the tank?
(1/15 + 1/30)×T1 = 1/3, T1 = 10/3 hr
Now after leak is developed, [(1/15 + 1/30) – (1/3)×(1/15 + 1/30)]×T2 = 2/3
T2 = 10 hr. So total time = 10 + 10/3 = 40/3 hr
 Three pipes A, B and C is attached to a cistern. A can fill it in 20 minutes and B can
fill it in 30 minutes. C is a waste pipe. After opening both the pipes A and B, Riya
leaves the cistern to fill and returns when the cistern is supposed to be filled. But she
found that waste pipe C had been left open, she closes it and now the cistern takes 5
minutes more to fill. In how much time the pipe C can empty the full cistern?

Affairscloud
The tank supposed to be filled in (30×20)/50 = 12 minutes

so, (1/20 + 1/30)×12 – 12/C + (1/20 + 1/30)×5 = 1 (A and B work for 12 minutes and
also C work for 12 minutes and then A and B takes 5 more minutes to fill the tank)
solve for C, we will get C = 144/5 = 28.8
 Three pipes A, B, and C can fill the tank in 10 hours, 20 hours and 40 hours
respectively. In the beginning all of them are opened simultaneously. After 2 hours,
tap C is closed and A and B are kept running. After the 4th hour, tap B is also closed.
The remaining work is done by tap A alone. What is the percentage of the work done
by tap A alone?
Pipe A‘s work in % = 100/10 = 10% tap C is closed + After the 4th hour,
Pipe B‘s work in % = 100/20 = 5% tap B is also closed = 100
Pipe C‘s work in % = 100/40 = 2.5% => (10+5+2.5)×2 + (10+5)×2 + X = 100
All of them are opened for 2 hours + => 35 + 30 + work by tap A alone = 100
after 2 hours, => work by tap A alone = 100-65 = 35%
 A pipe can fill a tank in 12 minutes and another pipe can fill it in 15 minutes, but a
third pipe can empty it in 6 minutes. The first two pipes are kept open for 5 min in the
beginning and then third pipe is also opened. Time taken to empty the water tank is?
x/6 – (x+5)/12 – (x+5)/15 = 0
x = 45 mins
 Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 12 hours and 18 hours respectively. The pipes
are opened simultaneously and it is found that due to leakage in the bottom of the
tank it took 48 minutes excess time to fill the cistern. When the cistern is full, in what
time will the leak empty it?
Work done by the two pipes in 1 hour = (1/12)+(1/18) = (15/108).
Time taken by these pipes to fill the tank = (108/15)hrs = 7 hours 12 min.
Due to leakage, time taken = 7 hours 12 min + 48 min = 8 hours
Work done by two pipes and leak in 1 hour = 1/8.

 A Cistern can be filled by an inlet pipe at the rate of 4 litres per minute. A leak in the
bottom of a cistern can empty the full tank in 8 hours. When the cistern is full, the
inlet is opened and due to the leak, the cistern is empty in 40 hours. How many litres
does the cistern hold?
Part emptied by the leak in 1 hour = 1/8 Inlet pipe fills the tank in = 10 hours
part filled by (leak & inlet open) in 1 Inlet pipe fills water at the rate of 4 litres
hour = 1/40 a minute.
Part filled by the inlet pipe in 1 hour = Capacity of Cistern = 10 × 60 × 4 =

and C in 12 days. B and C together worked for 3 days, then C left the work and A
replaced him. In how many days will the remaining work be completed ?
(x-3)/8 + (x/10) + (3/12) = 1

Affairscloud
(5x-15+4x)/40 = 1-3/12 = 12-3/12 = 9/12 = ¾

9x – 15 = 3×40/4 = 30
X = 45/9 = 5 (3days completed )
5 -3 = 2 days
 A can finish a piece of work in 24 days. B is 20% more efficient than A and C is 25%
more efficient than B. Find the time B and C will take to finish the work?
A= 1/24
B = 120/100(1/24) = 1/20
C= 125/100(1/20) = 1/16
B+C =(1/20) + (1/16) = 16+20/320 = 36/320 = 8.88 = 9 days
 Seven men can complete a work in 10 days. They started the work and after 5 days,
two men left. In how many days will the work be completed by the remaining men ?
7 men 1 day‘s work will be 1 / 10
7 men 5 days work will be 5 / 10 = 1/2 remaining work will be (1- 1/ 2) = 1 / 2
1 man 1 day work will be 1 / (10×7) = 1 / 70
5 mens 1 day work will be 5 / 70
(70/5)×( 1 / 2) = 7 days
 If 40 people can make 60 toys in 8 hrs, if 8 people leave the work, how many toys can

 18 Women can complete a work in 10 days. 16 men complete the work in 12 days.
The ratio of working capacity of man to that of a woman is
ব্যাখ্যা 1/(16×12) : 1/(18×10) = 1/192 : 1/180 = 1/16 : 1/15 = 15:16
 If P can do 1/3 of the work in 5 days and Q can do ¼ of the work in 6 days, then how
much money will Q get if they were paid a total of 390 ruppee.

Affairscloud
P can alone complete the whole work in 15 days and Q can complete the same work
alone in 24 days. So ratio of work done by them 1/15 : 1/24 i.e 8 : 5
Q get = (5/13)×390 = 150
 A total of 960 rupees is given to three people A, B and C. A and B together can
complete 7/12 and C and B together can complete 5/12. So, how much amount should
be given to A.
(work done by) : (work done by B and C)
A:B = 7:12 & C:B = 5:12 => A:B:C = 7:12:5
So amount to be paid to A = (7/24)×960 = 280
 Three printing press P, Q and R can print 1 lack books in 5 hrs, 15 hrs and 10 hrs
respectively. If all the press starts at 10 am and press R is stopped after 2 hrs then at
what time work will be complete.
Time taken by P = 5hrs, Q = 15hr and R = 10 hrs
(1/5+1/15+1/10)×2 + (1/5 + 1/15)×X = 1 (X = time taken to do remaining work)
after solving we get X = 1. So 2+1 = 3hrs. i.e at 1pm work will be completed.
 Arun can do a piece of work in 30 days. Rohan who is 40% more efficient than arun
can finish the work in how many days.
In one day work done by arun is 1/30 and rohan is 40% more efficient than arun , so one
day work of rohan = (140/100)×1/30 = 7/150.
So time taken by rohan will be 150/7
 3 men and 4 women can complete a piece of work in 12 while the same is finished by
2 men and one woman in 15 days. A boy who is 25% less efficient than that of man
can complete the piece of work in how many days.
3m + 4w = 1/12

Affairscloud
2m + w = 1/15. After solving we one day work of man = 33/900

One day work of the boy is= 75/100×(33/900) = 11/400. So no of days needed will be
400/11.
 Priya take 8 hours to draw 60 pages on a computer while parul takes 6 hours to draw
45 pages on computer. If both are working together in how much time will they draw
a lot of 120 pages?
First calculate no of pages they draw in one hour. For priya it is 60/8 and for parul it is
45/6.
Now total pages they draw in one hour is 60/8 + 45/6 = 15
So to print 120 time they will take = 15×X = 120. So X = 8hrs
 A can finish a work in 15 days and B can finish the work in 25 days. Both of them
start working together but B leaves the work 3 days prior to the completion. After
how many days B quit the work.
Let ‗X‘ days they take to complete the whole work.
(1/15 + 1/25)×(X-3) + 3× (1/15), X = 10.5 days. So he quits after 7.5 days.
 A contractor undertook a job and employed 40 men to do a piece of work in 80 days.
But after 60 days he found that only 3/5 of the work is completed. To complete the
work in time, how many more men he should employ.
(40×60)/3 = (x×20)/2
x=80
No of men required=80-40 =40
 P, Q and R can complete a piece of work in 9, 18 and 27 days respectively. After 1/3
work is completed P left the work and the remaining work is completed by Q and R
together. Find the days required to complete the remaining work.

Affairscloud
1/3 work is completed so remaining work is 2/3. As P left the job so remaining work will
be completed by Q and R. Take X no. of days Q and R take to complete the work.
(1/18 + 1/27)×X = 2/3. So, X = 36/5
 P does half as much work as Q does in 1/5 of the time. Both working together can
take 20 days to complete the work. No of days P take to complete the work alone.
Let Q complete the work in ‗T‘ time. In one day, work done by Q is equal to 1/T. In five
days, work done by Q is 5/T.
It is given that P does half as much work in 1/5 of the time. So P does 1/2 of the work. i.e
5/2T
So (1/T + 5/2T) = 1/20. So T = 70.
So P takes 2T/5 days. (2×70)/5 = 28days.
 A project manager hired 16 men to complete a project in 40 days. However after 30
days he realized that only 4/9 th of the work is complete. How many more men does
he need to hire to complete the project on time ?
16×30 / 4/9 = M × 10/5/9 M = 1080/18 = 60
16×30×9/ 4 = M ×10×9/5 Men required = 60 – 16 = 44
1080 = 18M
 20 men can complete a piece of work in 15days and 12 women can complete the
same piece of work in 24 days. What is the ratio of amount of work done by 30 men
in oneday to the amount of work done by 16 women in 1 day ?
M : W = 30/20×15 : 16/12×24

Ratio = 9:5
 X alone can do a piece of work in 5 days. Y can do the same piece of work in 4 days.
X and Y are assigned to do the work for Rs.5000.They complete the work in 2 days
with the help of Z. How much is to be paid to Z ?
Affairscloud
Z‘s one day work = ´ – [ 1/5+1/4] = 10-4+5/20 = 1/20

Ratio = 1/5:1/4:1/20 = 4/20 : 5/20 : 1/20 = 4:5:1
Z = 5000×1/10 = 500
 9 men and 12 women can complete the job in 12 days.In how many days can 3 men

9m+12w = 1/12 3(3m+4w) = 1/12
3m+4w = ? 3m+4w = 1/36
 P takes 6 days less than Q to finish the work individually. If P and Q working
together complete the work in 4 days, then how many days are required by Q to
complete the work alone ?
=1/6 + 1/12
=2+1/12 =3/12 = 1/4
 If X, Y and Z can complete a work in 6 days. If X can work twice faster than Y and
thrice faster than Z, then the no of days Z alone can complete the work is
1/x+1/2x+1/3x = 1/6 X = 11
6+3+2/6x = 6 Z = 3x = 33
11/6x = 6
 If 20 men can do a piece of work in 42days working 8 hours per day then how many
men are required to complete the work, working 5 hours per day in 33 days ?
M = 20×42×8/5×33 = 40.72 = 41
 Three men, four women and six children can complete a work in 7 days. A woman
does double the work a man does and a child does half the work a man does. How
many women alone can complete this work in 7 days ?
2 men = 1 woman 1 man =1/2 woman

Affairscloud
3 men =3/2 women Now, three men, four women and six
2 children = 1 man =1/2 woman children
1 child =1/4 woman =3/2 + 4 +3/2 =3+8+3/2 = 14/2 = 7
6 children =6/4 =3/2 women women
 If A can complete a work in 30 days, B can do the same work in 36 days, If after
doing 5 days, leaves the work.Find in how many days B will do the remaining work ?
A = 1/30, B = 1/42 Remaining = 5/6
6 days work = 5×1/30 = 1/6 B = 5×36/6 = 30
 P is 20 % more efficient than Q, how much time will they working together take to
complete a job which P alone could have done in 20 days ?
P : Q = 100 : 120 Q = 1/24 or 20×120/100 = 24
10/12 = 20/x P+Q = 1/20 + 1/24
12/10 = x/20 = 24+20/480 = 44/480 = 10.91 = 11 days
X = 24
 A and B alone can do a piece of wok in 8 and 18 days respectively. In how many days
the work will be completed if they both work on alternate days starting with B?
A = 8 days, B = 18 days
Total work = LCM(8,18) = 72
So efficiency of A = 72/8 = 9, efficiency of B = 72/18 = 4
2 days work of (A+B) = 9+4 = 13
2×5(10) days work of (A+B) = 9+4 = 13×5 = 65
So remaining work = 72-65 = 7
Now A‘s turn on 6th day, he will do remaining work(7) in 7/9 day
So total 10 7/9 days
 A, B and C can all together do piece of work in 10 days, in which B takes three times
as long as A and C together do the work and C takes twice as long as A and B
together take to do the work. In how many days B can alone do the work?

Affairscloud
(A+C) in x days so B completes in 3x days
then (1/x) + (1/3x) = 1/10
solve, x = 40/3
so B in 3x = 3×(40/3)= 40 days
OR
Given A+B+C = 10 and that B takes 3 times as A+C, so A+C is three times stronger than
B
So this means that 4 times stronger can do work in 10 days
So 1 time stronger(B) in 4×10 = 40 days
 20 men can complete a piece of work in 14 days. 7 men started the work and after 20
days, 7 more men joined the work. In how many days the remaining work will be
completed?
Let (7+7) complete remaining work in x days. So
20×14 = 7×20 + 14×x
x = 10 days
 20 men can complete a work in 14 days and 20 women can complete the same work
in 18 days. 7 men and 9 women started the work. After working for some days, they
were replaced by 10 men and 10 women who complete the remaining work in 9 days.
How much work was completed by initially employed men and women?
A) 2/5
20 m in 14 days so 10 men in (20×14)/10 = 28 days
20 w in 18 days so 10 women in (20×18)/10 = 36 days
So (1/28 + 1/36)×9 = 4/7
So 1 – 4/7 = 3/7 work was done by 7 men and 9 women
 A, B and C can alone complete a work in 10, 12 and 15 days respectively. A and C
started the work and after working for 4 days, A left and B joined. In how many days
the total work was completed?

Affairscloud
(A+C) = (1/10 + 1/15) = 1/6. They worked for 4 days so did (1/6)×4 = 2/3rd of work
Now A left , B and C working
(B+C) = (1/12 + 1/15) = 9/60 = 3/20. They worked for x days and completed 1/3rd of
work so (3/20)×x = 1/3, so x = 20/9 days
Total = 4 + 20/9
 A, B and C can alone complete a work in 10, 12 and 15 days respectively. All started
the work but B left the work 3 days before completion. How much work was then
done by A and B together in the total work?
Let work completed in x days, In 5 days, A did 5/10 = 1/2 of work
so A and C worked for all x days, In (5-3) = 2 days, B did 2/12 = 1/6 of
and B for (x-3) days. So work
(1/10 + 1/15)×x + (1/12)×(x-3) = 1 So total by A and B = (1/2 + 1/6) = 2/3
Solve, x = 5 days
 2 men and 3 women can together complete a piece of work in 4 days and 3 men and 2
women together can complete work in 3 days. In how many days 10 women will
complete this work?
2m + 3w = 4, 3m + 2w = 3 Given 2m + 3w = 4,
So 4(2m + 3w) = 3(3m + 2w) so 2×(6w) + 3w = 4,
8m + 12w = 9m + 6w so 15 women in 4 days,
6w = 1m so 10 women in (15×4)/10 = 6 days
 A alone can complete a work in 5 days more than A+B together and B alone can
complete a work in 45 days more than A+B together. Then in how many days A and
B together can complete the work?
Shortcut = √5×45 = 15 OR

 20 men can complete a work in 14 days and 20 women can complete the same work
in 18 days. 8 men start the work and after working for 21 days, they are replaced by x
women. If the remaining work is to be completed by x women in 9 days, then how
many women should be employed?
20 m in 14 days so 8 men in (20×14)/8 = 35 days
In 21 days 8 men complete (1/35)×21 = 3/5 work
20 women do 1 work in 18 days so x women will do 2/5 work in 9 days
10×(2/5)×18 = x×1×9
 A alone can complete a work in 21 days. If B is 40% more efficient than A, then in
how many days A and B together can complete the work?
Let efficiency of A is x, so of B = (140/100)×x = 7x/5
So ratio of efficiencies = x : 7x/5 = 5 : 7
So ratio of days = 7 : 5
A can do in 21 days, so 7y = 21, y = 3
So B can do in 5×3 = 15 days
A+B in (21×15)/(21+15) = 8 ¾ days
 A piece of work has to be completed in 50 days, a number of men are employed but it
is found that only half of the work is done in 30 days, then an additional 20 men were
joined to complete the work on time. How many men initially put to work?
suppose Initially X men get employed. Half work is done in 30 days it means full work
will be done by X men in 60 days. Now,
Work done = 1/2 = [20×(x + 20)]/60X
X = 40

1/x + 2/3x = 1/36
X = 60
 If 20 women and 10 boys can reap a field in 30 days, then in how many days 15
women and 30 boys will reap the field. It is given that work done by 4 women is
equal to work done by 3 boys.
a) 210/11 days
20w + 10b = 1/21 (work done by 20 women and 10 boys in one day)
It is given that 4w = 3b
Solve both equation to find the value of w and b,
 Then, 15/w + 30/b = 1/d (the days in which 15 women and 30 boys complete the
work)
If P can do a work in 6 days and Q can do the same work in 8 days. If R who can do the
same work in 12 days, joins them, then the work will be completed in how many days?
1/6 + 1/8 + 1/12 = 1/d.
D = 8/3 days
 A, B and C are three friends that take 20 days to finish a work. The time taken by B is
twice the time taken by A and C together and time taken by C to do the work is thrice
the time taken by A and B together. How much time will be taken by A alone to do
the work.
1/a + 1/b + 1/c = 1/20 (given)

Affairscloud
In first case let time taken by A and C together is p days, then the time taken by B will be
2p. Substitute in the above equation and we get p = 60 (time taken by B to complete the
work).
Similarly in the second case, u will get P = 80 (time taken by C to complete the work)
Now, 1/a = 1/20 – 1/60 – 1/80 to get the answer
 If 4 boys or 5 women can reap a field in 20 days. Then what will be the time taken by
6 boys and 8 women to reap the field.
work done by one boy in one day = 1/(4×20)
Similarly for women = 1/(5×20)
Now the time taken by 6 boys and 8 women to reap the field = 6/80 + 8/100 = 1/d (d =
200/31 will be the answer)
5 men and 10 boys can do a piece of work in 30 days and 8 men and 12 boys can do the
work in 20 days then the ratio of daily work done by a man to that of boy.
5m + 10b = 1/30 and 8m + 12b = 1/20
after solving we get m = 1/200 and b = 1/1200
so required ratio = (1/200) : (1/1200) = 6:1
 A certain number of men take 45 days to complete a work. If there are 10 men less
then they will take 60 days to complete the work. Find the original number of men.
Let initially there are X men. Then x×45 = (x-10)×60. So we get x = 40
 Prakash is twice as fast as sumit and therefore Prakash is able to finish the work in 30
days less than sumit. Find the time in which they can complete the work when both
are working together?
Let sumit take x days then Prakash will take x/2 days to complete the work.
X – X/2 = 30, X = 60
1/60 + 1/30 = 1/d so, we will get d= 20 days
 4 women and 5 men working together can do 3 times the work done by 2 women and
one man together. Calculate the work of a man to that of woman.

Affairscloud
4w + 5m = 3×(2w + m)
i.e. 2w = 2m
so ratio of work done by man to woman is 1:1
 P can do 2/5 of the work in 10 days and Q can do 4/5 of the work in 16 days. If both
of them start working together then the time in which the work can be done?
P can complete the work in 25 days and Q can complete the work in 20 days. So both will
complete the work in (20×25)/45 = 100/9 days
 A does half as much work as B does in one sixth of the time. If together they take 20
days to complete the work, then what is the time taken by B to complete the work
independently.
Let B take X days to complete the work then in one –sixth of the time i.e. x/6 days. Now
A do half work as done by B so A will take twice the time i.e. 2×x/6 = x/3 to complete
the job alone
So 1/x + 3/x = 1/20, x = 80 days
 A contractor undertakes to make a mall in 60 days and he employs 30 men. After 30
days it is found that only one- third of the work is completed. How many extra men
should he employ so that the work is completed on time?
Let total work is w and it is given that one-third of the work is completed after 30 days.
Means
M×D = 30×30 = w/3, so total work = 30×30×3
2700 = 30×30 + (30+p)×30, so we get P = 30 (p = additional men)
 50 men could complete a work in 200 days. They worked together for 150 days, after
that due to bad weather the work is stopped for 25 days. How many more workers
should be employed so as to complete the work in time?

Affairscloud
Let additional workers be P,

(50×150)/(50×200) = 3/4 of the work is already completed and now only 1/4 of the work
is to be done. So,
1/4 = ((50 + P) × 25)/50×200, solve for p, we get P = 50
 P and Q were assigned to do a work for an amount of 1200. P alone can do it in 15
days while Q can do it in 12 days. With the help of R they finish the work in 6 days.
Find the share if C.
1/15 + 1/12 + 1/c = 1/6, we got C = 60 (it means C will take 60 days to complete the
work alone)
so ratio of work done by P:Q:R = 4:5:1
so c share = (1/10)×1200 = 120
 A can do a work in 32 days. P who is 60 percent more efficient than A. Find how
much time they will take together to do the same work?
A‘s one day work = 1/32 so P one day work = (160/100)×1/32 = 1/20, so P will take 20
days to complete the work.
So Both A and P will take = (32×20)/52 = 160/13 days
 P does half as much work as Q in three-fourth of the time. If together they take 24
days to complete the work, how much time shall P take to complete the work?
Let Q take x days to complete the work, so P will take 2×3/4 of X day to complete the
work i.e. 3x/2 days
1/x + 2/3x = 1/24, we get x = 40 days, so P will take = 3/2 of 40 = 60 days

 A does half as much work as B in one third of the time taken by B. If together they
take 20 days to finish the work then what will be the share of A if 1000 rupees is
given for the whole work?
Let B take x days to complete the work, then A will take = x/3 + x/3 = 2x/3 days (as half
work is completed in one third of the time)
3/2x + 1/x = 1/20
X = 50. So A will complete the work in 100/3 days and B will complete the work in 50
days.
Ratio of work done by A and B – 3/100: 1/50 = 3:2
So A share = 3/5×1000 = 600
 A does half as much work as B does in one sixth of the time. If together they take 20
days to complete the work, then what is the time taken by A to complete the work
independently.
Let B complete the work in X days so in one day work done by B is 1/x
as A do half work in one-sixth of the time so A will complete work in 2×x/6 = x/3 days
One day work of A and B i.e. 3/x + 1/x = 1/20. So we get x = 80
So time taken by A alone = 80/3 days
 P can do a piece of work in 20 days. Q is 25 percent more efficient than P. In how
many days half the work is completed when both are working simultaneously?
Q is 25 percent more efficient so he will complete the work in 16 days
(1/20 + 1/16)×t = ½
 If P and Q work together, they will complete a job in 7.5 days. However, if P works
alone and completes half the job and then Q takes over and completes the remaining
half alone, they will be able to complete the job in 20 days. How long will Q alone
take to do the job if P is more efficient than Q?
Affairscloud
1/P + 1/Q = 2/15 from first line.

Now, let P take x days and Q takes y days to complete half the work respectively.
x/P = 1/2, x = P/2 similarly y/Q = 1/2, y = Q/2
so, x +y = 20 i.e. P/2 + Q/2 = 20, P +Q = 40
solve both equation, u will get Q = 30 days
 A and B undertake to complete a piece of work for Rupees 1200. A can do it in 8
days, B can do it in 12 days and with the help of C they complete the work in 4 days.
Find the share of C?
1/8 + 1/12 + 1/C = 1/4, we get C = 24 days
now efficiency of A, B and C are in the ratio of 1/8 :1/12 : 1/24
3:2:1, so share of C is 1/6 × 1200 = 200
 Among four persons Anuj, Bhim, Carl and Dinesh. Anuj takes thrice as much time as
Bhim to complete a piece of work. Bhim takes thrice as much time as Carl and Carl
takes thrice as much time as Dinesh to complete the same work. If all together they
take 3 days to complete the work. Find the time taken by Bhim alone to complete the
work alone.
Let Bhim takes x days alone to complete the job, so Anuj will take 3x days, Carl will take
x/3 days and Dinesh will take x/9 days to complete the work alone
1/3x + 1/x + 3/x + 9/x = 1/3
Solve for x
 A and B can do a piece of work in 20 and 25 days respectively. They began to work
together but A leaves after some days and B completed the remaining work in 12
days. Number of days after which A left the job-
(1/20 + 1/25)×T + 12/25 = 1
We will get T = 52/9 i.e. 5.7/9 days
 A factory produces nuts and bolts. A machine in it produces only nuts while another
produces only bolts. The machine producing only nuts produces 500 nuts per minute

Affairscloud
and need to be cleared for 10 minutes after production of 2000 nuts. The machine
producing only bolts produces 600 bolts per minute and needs to be cleared for 15
minutes after production of 3000 bolts. Find the minimum time required to produce
6000 pairs of bolts and nuts if both machines are operated simultaneously.
2000 nuts are produced in 14 minutes (10 minutes break and 500 nuts per minutes so 4
minutes to produce 2000 nuts ), for next 2000 nuts it will take 14 minutes more, and for
more two thousand it will take 4 minutes more, so total time = 32 minutes
similarly, 6000 bolts are produced in 20 + 5 = 25 minutes
so minimum time required is 32 minutes
 Three professors P, Q, R are evaluating answer script of a subject. P is 40 more
efficient than Q, who is 20 more efficient than R. P takes 10 days less than Q to
complete the evaluation work. P starts the evaluation work and works for 10 days and
then Q takes over. Q evaluates for next 15 days and then stops. In how many days, R
can complete the remaining evaluation work?
Let R takes x days to complete the work, then
1/P = (140/100)×1/Q and 1/Q = (120/100)×1/R
So P will take 25x/42 and Q will take 5x/6 days respectively
5x/6 – 25x/42 = 10, we get x = 42
10/25 + 15/35 + t/42 = 1
 A piece of work has to be completed in 50 days, a number of men are employed but it
is found that only half of the work is done in 30 days, then an additional 20 men were
joined to complete the work on time. How many men initially put to work?
Work done = 1/2 = [20×(x + 20)]/60X
X = 40

Affairscloud
 P can do a piece of work in 20 days. Q is 25 percent more efficient than P. In how

many days half the work is completed when both are working simultaneously?
Q is 25 percent more efficient so he will complete the work in 16 days
(1/20 + 1/16)×t = 1/2
 A and B together can do a piece of work in 24 days, which B and C together can do it
in 32 days. After A has been working at it for 10 days and B for 14 days, C finishes it
in 26 days. In how many days C alone will do the work?
1/A + 1/B = 1/24 , 1/B + 1/C = 1/32 10/24 + 4/32 + 22/C = 1, we get C = 48
10/A + 14/B + 26/C = 1 days
10(1/A + 1/B) + 4(1/B + 1/C) + 22/C = 1
 50 men could complete a work in 200 days. They worked together for 150 days, after
that due to bad weather the work is stopped for 25 days. How many more workers
should be employed so as to complete the work in time?
Let additional workers be P,
(50×150)/(50×200) = 3/4 of the work is already completed and now only 1/4 of the work
is to be done. So,
1/4 = ((50 + P) × 25)/50×200, solve for p, we get P = 50
 Mohan can do a work in 15 days. After working for 3 days he is joined by Vinod. If
they complete the remaining work in 3 more days, in how many days can Vinod alone
complete the work?
Total days Mohan worked = 3+3 = 6 So 3/5 = 3/x
6/15 = 2/5 x=5
 Arun can do a certain work in the same time in which Bipasha and Rahul together can
do it. If Arun and Bipasha together could do it in 10 days and Rahul alone in 50 days,
then Bipasha alone could do it in:

Affairscloud
Arun, Bipasha and rahul‘s 1 day work = 1/10 + 1/50 = 6/50 = 3/25
Arun‘s 1 day work = Bipasha + Rahul ‗s 1 day work
2×( Arun‘s 1 day work) = 3/25
Arun‘s 1 day work = 3/50
Bipasha‘s 1 day work = 1/10 – 3/50 = 2/50 = 1/25
 Sekar, Pradeep and Sandeep can do a piece of work in 15 days. After all the three
worked for 2 days, sekar left. Pradeep and Sandeep worked for 10 more days and
Pradeep left. Sandeep worked for another 40 days and completed the work. In how
many days can sekar alone complete the work if sandeep can complete it in 75 days?
Assume the total work to be 600 units. (LCM of all the numbers)
Then Sandeep‘s 1 day work = 8 units.
All three‘s 1 day work = 40 units.All work together in the first 2 days
Work done in the first 2 days = 40 × 2 = 80 units
Sandeep alone works during the last 40 days
Work done in the last 40 days = 40 × 8 = 320 units
Remaining work = 600 – (320 + 80) = 200 units
This work is done by pradeep and sandeep in 10 days.
Pradeep and Sandeep together‘s 1 day work = 20 units
Sekar‘s 1 day work = All three 1 day work – Pradeep and Sandeep together‘s 1 day work
= 40 units – 20 units = 20 units
Sekar can do the work of 600 units in 30 days.
 Dinesh does 80% of a work in 20 days. He then calls in Gokul and theytogether finish
the remaining work in 3 days. How long Gokul alone would take to do the whole
work?
Dinesh work done = 20×5/4 = 25 days Whole work done = 15 days
1/5 workdone by Dinesh and gokul in Dinesh 1 days work = 1/25
3days. Dinesh and gokul‘s 1 day work = 1/15

Gokul‘s 1 day work = 1/15 – 1/25 = 2/75 Gokul alone in 75/2 days or 37 ½ days.
 Hari and Vijay can together finish a work in 30 days. They worked together for 20
days and then Vijay left. After another 20 days, hari finished the remaining work. In
how many days hari alone can finish the work?
Hari + vijay 20 days work = 1/30 ×20 = 2/3
Remaining work = 1/3
1/3 work in 20 days so whole work in 60 days.
 Madhavan can finish a work in 5 hours. He invites Manohar and Manjima who can
work 3/4th as fast as he can to join him. He also invites Mani and Mohan who can
work only 1/5th as fast as he can to join him. If the five person team works the same
job and they start together, how long will it take for them to finish the job?
Let the work be 100 units.
Madhavan‘s 1 hour work = 100/5 = 20 units
Manohar and Manjima‘s 1 day work = 3/4 × 20 = 15 units.
Mohan and Mani‘s 1 day work = 1/5 × 20 = 4 units.
In one day all five of them can do = 20 + 15 + 15 + 4 + 4 = 58 units of work. Hence they
can complete the work in 100/58 days.
 A typing work is done by three person P, Q and R. P alone takes 10 hours to type a
single booklet but B and C working together takes 4 hours, for the completion of the
same booklet. If all of them worked together and completed 14 booklets, then how
many hours have they worked?
1/P = 1/10
1/P + 1/Q + 1/R = 1/10 + ¼ = 7/20
In 20 hours, working together, they will complete 7 booklets.
Thus, in 40 hours they will complete 14 booklets.

 Nakul and Ram are working on aproduction company. Nakul takes 6 hours to make
32 products, while Ram takes 5 hours to make 40 products. How much time will they
take, working together to make 110 products?
Number of products made by Nakul in 1 hour = 32/6 = 16/3
Number of products made by Ram in 1 hour = 40/5 = 8
Number of products made by both in 1 hour = 16/3 + 8 = 40/3
Time taken by both to make 110 products = 110× 3/40 = 8 ¼ hrs
 Gopal does a work in 90 days, Vikash in 40 days and Santhosh in 12 days. They work
one after another for a day each, starting with Gopal followed by Vikash and then by
Santhosh. If the total wages received are Rs 360 and Gopal, Vikash, Santhosh share
them in the ratio of the work done, find their respective individual wages.
Assume there are 360 units of work (LCM of 90, 40 and 12).
Hence, they can do 4,9 and 30 units per day or together 43 units every 3 days.
So In 24 days, 43×8=344 units of work is completed.
In the next 2 days, 13 unitsare completed and on 27th day,Santhosh takes 1/10 thof a day
to finish the rest.
So, gopal and vikash worked for 9 days each and have hence put in 36 and 81 units
respectively, and the rest of the 243 units is put in by santhosh.
 The wages shall also be distributed in the same ratio as: Rs 36, Rs 81 and Rs 243.
When Ashok and Karthik are working alone, they can complete a piece of work in 25
days and 30 days respectively. On day 1, Karthik started the work and Ashok joined B
from day 3 on-wards. Find approximately after how many days will the work be
completed?
Fraction of work completed by Karthik on day 1 and day 2 = 2× 1/30 = 1/15
Fraction of work left after 2 days = 14/15
Fraction of work completed by Both = 1/25 + 1/30 = 11/150
Number of days after day 2 to complete work = 14×150/15×11 = 13 days

Affairscloud
So after 2+13 = 15 days works will be completed

 Kiran can do a work in 25 days, while Ravi can do the same work in 50 days. They
started the work jointly. Few days later Sumit also joined them and thus all of them
completed the whole work in 10 days. All of them were paid total Rs.600. What is the
Share of Sumit?
Efficiency of Kiran = 4% The remaining work done by Sumit =
Efficiency of Ravi = 2% 40%.
[(4+2)×10] = 60% 40% of 600 = 240
 Working together Bala and Chitra take 50% more number of days than Angel, Bala
and Chitra together take and Angel and Bala working together, take 8/3 more number
of days than Angel, Bala and Chitra take together. If Angel, Bala and Chitra all have
worked together till the completion of the work and Bala has received Rs.120 out of
total earnings of Rs. 480 then in how many days did Angel, Bala and Chitra together
complete the whole work?
The days ratio of (Angel + Bala + Amount received by Bala = Rs.120 &
Chitra) : (Bala + Chitra) = X:3X/2 = Chitra = 200
2X:3x; 160:120:200 =4:3:5
Efficiency ratio = 3X:2X 1/4:1/3:1/5= 15:20:12;
Efficiency of Angel = x. (1/15+1/12+1/20)×Y = 1
(480/3X) = Rs.160 Y = 5 days
 Angel can do a piece of work in 10 days, Balu in 15 days. They work together for 5
days, the rest of the work is finished by Chitra in two more days. If they get Rs. 6000
as wages for the whole work, what are the daily wages of Angel, Bala and Chitra
respectively?
Angel‘s 5 days work = 50% Chitra‘s 2 days work = 16.66% [100-
Balu‘s 5 days work = 33.33% (50+33.33)] Ratio of work of Angel,
Balu and Chitra = 3: 2: 1

Affairscloud
Angel‘s total share = Rs. 3000 Angel‘s one day‘s wage = Rs.600
Balu‘s total share = Rs. 2000 Balu‘s one day‘s wage = Rs.400
Chitra‘s total share = Rs. 1000 Chitra‘s one day‘s wage = Rs.500
 Ravi can do a piece of work in 16 days. Rakesh can do the same work in 64/5 days,
while Geeta can do it in 32 days. All of them started to work together but Ravi leaves
after 4 days. Rakesh leaves the job 3 days before the completion of the work. How
long would the work last?A. 6 days
Let the work lasted for x days, ⇒ 5(x – 3)/64 + x/32 = 1 – 1/4
Ravi‘s 4 day‘s work + Rakesh (x – 3) ⇒ [5(x – 3) + 2x] / 64 = 3/4
day‘s work + Geeta‘s x day‘s work = 1 ⇒ 7x – 15 = 48
⇒ (4/16) + (x – 3) / (64/5) + x/32 = 1 ∴ x = (48 + 15)/7 = 63/7 = 9 days
 Ramu, Hari and Sanjay are three typists, who working simultaneously, can type 228
pages in four hours. In one hour, Sanjay can type as many pages more than Hari as
Hari can type more than Ramu. During a period of five hours, Sanjay can type as
many passages as Ramu can, during seven hours. How many pages does each of them
type per hour?
Let Rohit, Harsh and Sanjeev can type x, i.e., 2y = x + z ……(ii)
y and z pages respectively in 1 h. 5z = 7x ……(iii)
Therefore, they together can type 4(x + y From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
+ z) pages in 4 h 3y = 57
∴ 4(x + y + z) = 228 ⇒ y = 19
⇒ x + y + z = 57 …..(i) From Eq. (ii), x + z = 38
Also, z – y = y – x x = 16 and z = 22
 Efficiency of A is 25% more then B and B takes 25 days to complete a piece of work.
A started a work alone and then B joined her 5 days before actual completion of the

Efficiency (A : B) = 5 : 4
Affairscloud
Number of days(A : B) = 4x : 5x = 4x : A and B work together for last 5 days =

25 5 x 9 = 45%
∴ Number of days required by A to Efficiency of A = 5% and B‘s efficiency
finish the work alone = 4x = 4%
= 4 x 5 = 20. ∴ No. of days taken by A to complete
55% work = 55/5 = 11days
 In a cucumber factory, there are equal number of women and children. Women work
for 8 h a day and children for 6 h a day. During festival time, the work load goes up
by 50%. The government rule does not allow children to work for more than 8 h a
day. If they are equally efficient and the extra work is done by women, then extra
hours of work put in by women every day are?
Let extra hours a day are x. ⇒ (3/2) x 14 = 16 + x
According to the formula, ⇒ 21= 16 + x
2 2
(M1D1T1) / W1 = (M D2T ) / W2 ∴ x = 21 – 16 = 5
⇒ [1 x 1 x (8 + 6)] / 1 = [1 x 1 x (8 + 8 +
x)] / 3/2
 A building contractor undertook to finish a certain work in 162 days and employed
150 men. After 72 days, he found that he had already done 2/3 of the work. How
many men can be discharged now, so that the work finish in time?A. 80
M1 = 150, M2 = 150 – n, D1 = 72, D2 = ⇒ [150 x 72] / 2 = [(150 – n) x 90] / 1
90 ⇒ (150 x 72) / (2 x 60) = (150 – n)
W1= 2/3 and W2 = 1/3 ⇒ (150 – n) = 60
According to the formula, ∴ n = 150 – 60 = 90
(M1D1) / W1 = (M2D2) / W2
 Sanjay can do a piece of work in 50 days. He started the work and left after some
days, when 25% work was done. After it Ajit joined and completed it working for 25
days. In how many days Sanjay and Ajit can do the complete work, working
together?

Affairscloud
Efficiency of Sanjay = (100/50) = 2% ∴ Number of days required by Sonu and
Rest work = 75% Abhijeet, to work together = 100/5 = 20
∴ Efficiency of Ajit = 75/25 = 3% days.
∴ Combined efficiency of Sanjay and
Ajit = 5%
 Kiran can do a piece of work in 9 days and Kumar can do the same work in 18 days.
They started the work. After 3 days Sanjay joined them, who can complete alone the
same whole work in 3 days. What is the total number of days in which they had

Efficiency of Kiran and Kumar = 11.11 + 5.55 = 16.66%
Work done in 3 days = 3 x 16.66 = 50%
Rest work done by Kiran, Kumar and Sanjay = 50/50 = 1 day
Work can be completed in 4 days.
 Arun can do a piece of work in 40 days, but Bala can do the same work in 5 days less,
than Arun, when working alone. Arun and Bala both started the work together but
Bala left after some days and Arun finished the remaining work in 30 days with half
of his efficiency but he did the work with Bala with his complete efficiency. For how
many days they had worked together?
A. 25/3 days
1 day work of Arun and Bala = 1/40 + 1/35 = 15/280
Arun finished the remaining work in 30 days = 30 × 1/40 × 2 = 3/8
Remaining work done by Arun and Bala = 5/8
Worked together = (5/8)/(15/280) = 35/3 days.
 Kiran can do a work in 20 days, while Karan can do the same work in 25 days. They

7I + 4Am = 1/6 One Indian One American and One
7Af + 4Am = 1/8 African will complete the work in – 24
7I + 7Af + 7Am = 7/24 days.
1I + 1Af + 1Am = 1/24
 Chitra is twice efficient as Arun. Bala takes thrice as many days as Chitra. Arun takes
12 days to finish the work alone. If they work in pairs(i.e Arun-Bala, Bala-Chitra,
Chitra-Arun) starting with Arun – Bala on the first day, Bala – Chitra on the second
day and Chitra – Arun on the third day and so on, then how many days are required to
finish the work?
No of days taken by Arun = 12 days 1/36 is done by Arun-Chitra
No of days(Arun:Bala:Chitra) = 2:3:1 Number of days taken by Arun-Chitra
1 day work of (Arun+Bala) = 5/36 for the rest of the work = (1/36)/(9/36) =
1 day work of (Bala+Chitra) = 8/36 1/9
1 day work of (Chitra+Arun) = 9/36 Total time taken to complete the work =
5 days total work – 35/36 5 + 1/9 = 46/9 days

and D can do together. If the ratio of the number of alone working days of C to D is
2:3 and if B worked 16 days more than C then no of days which A worked alone?
Assume working days And 2x-2y = 16
A = x, B = 2x, C = 2y, D = 3y Solving we get x = 18 days.
1/x+1/2x = 1/2y+1/3y
 A can do a piece of work in 40 days B can do the same piece of work in 60 days. A
and B started the work together in the first 15 days A worked with 50% of his
efficiency, in the next 15days B worked with 50% of his efficiency. Now in how

Affairscloud
many days does the remaining work will be completed if both of them work with
their full efficiencies?
15×(1/80+1/60) + 15×(1/120+1/40) + x×(1/40+1/60) = 1
X= 3/2 = 1.5
 A can do a piece of work in 30 days, B can do in 45 days and C can do same work
alone in 60 days. If on the first day A worked alone and on the second day A and B
worked together and on the third day A and C worked together. If they repeat the
cycle as follows then in how many days total work can be completed?
First day = 1/30 Now 1/36 work is left which can be
Second day = 1/30+1/45 completed by A alone
Third day = 1/30+1/60 1/36×30 = 5/6
3 days work = 3/30+1/45+1/60 = 25/180 21+5/6 = 21 5/6 Days
3×7 = 21 days work = 175/180
 Ramu completes 30% of work in 7.5 days. Raju is 50% as efficient as Ramu, Venu is
50% as efficient as Raju. Now Raju and Venu joined with Ramu for the rest of the
work then in how many days will take to complete the work?
Ramu takes 25 days to complete work. They can complete whole work in
Raju = 50 days Venu = 100 days = 1/ 1/25+1/50+1/100
Now 70% work is left 100/7 days then 70% in 10 days
 A can do a piece of work in 21days. B is 50% more efficient than A. C is twice
efficient than B. A started the work alone and worked for some days and left the work
then B and C joined together and completed the work in 2 days. Then how many days
does A worked alone?
A = 21 B = 14 C =7 x = 12.
x/21+2×(1/14+1/7) = 1

Affairscloud
 A can do a piece of work in 60days working 14 hours. B has the same efficiency as of
A. A and B started working together. A works 5,6,7 and 8 hours respectively on first
four days and repeats the cycle again. Then B has to work how many hours daily if
they together completed the work in 80 days?
20×(5+6+7+8+4x)/840 = 1
x= 4 hours
 Sruthi, Swetha and Swati together can cut 216 Apples of the same size in 3 hours.
Number of Apples cut by Sruthi in 9 hours is same as the number of Apples cut by
Swati in 7 hours. In one hour, Swati can cut as many Apples more than Swetha as
Swetha can cut more than Sruthi.Then the number of Apples cut by Swetha in one
hour?
U+v+W = 72 W-V = V-U
9U = 7W V = 24
 A can type 100 letters in 5 minutes. B and C typing together can type 50 letters in 2

 The sum of ages of family members (both children and parents) is 360 years.The total
ages of children and parents are in the ratio 2:1 and the ages of wife and husband are
in the ratio 5:7.What will be the age of husband?
ব্যাখ্যা -
Sum of ages is 360 years.The ratio of children and parents ages is 2:1.
Total age of parents = 360 × 1 / 3 = 120 years
Ratio of wife and husband age is 5:7. Therefore, the age of husband = 120 × 7 / 12 = 70

Affairscloud
Hence the age of husband is 70 years.

 The ratio between the present ages of A and B is 6:7. If B is 4 years old than A. What
will be the ratio of the ages of A and B after 4 years?
Let A‘s age and B‘s age be 6X years and 7X years respectively
Then, 7X – 6X = 4
X=4
Required ratio = (6X + 4) : (7X + 4) = (6×4+4) : (7×4 +4) =28 : 32 = 7 : 8

ব্যাখ্যা -
Sum of ages is 360 years.The ratio of children and parents ages is 2:1.
Total age of parents = 360 × 1 / 3 = 120 years
Ratio of wife and husband age is 5:7. Therefore, the age of husband = 120 × 7 / 12 = 70
Hence the age of husband is 70 years.
 Sush was thrice as old as Poonam 6 years back. Sush will be 5/3 times as old as
Poonam 6 years hence. How old is Poonam today?
Let Poonam age 6 years back = x. So 5(x+ 12) = 3(3x+ 12),
Then, Sush age 6 years back = 3x. so x=6.

Rs. 4200 including his certain commission on total profit since he is a working
partner and rest profit is received by B. What is the commission of A as a percentage
of the total profit?
Ratio of profit of A : B (excluding commission of A) = 54000 : 90000 =>3 : 5
Now the share of profit of B = 4200 – 1200 = Rs. 3000
So the share of profit A (excluding commission) = Rs. 1800
So the commission of A = 3000 – 1800 = 1200
 A shopkeeper bought 150 pen drives at the rate of Rs. 500 per pen drive. He spent Rs.
500 on transportation and packing. If the marked price of pen drive is Rs. 520 per pen
drive and the shopkeeper gives a discount of 5% on the marked price then what will
be the percentage profit gained by the shopkeeper?
C.P. of 150 calculators = 150 × 500 = Rs. 75000
∴ Total C.P. = 75000 + 500 = Rs. 75500
Marked price of 150 calculator = 150 × 570 = Rs. 82500
Selling price after discount = 82500 × 95 / 100 = Rs. 78375
∴ percentage profit = [(78375 – 75500) / 75500] × 100 = 3.8%

Basic Formula:
Speed of the stream = ½ (a-b) km/hr
Let the speed in still water be x m/hr
Speed of stream be y m/hr
Then, speed upstream = x-y m/hr and
Speed downstream = x+y m/hr
12/x-y – 12 / x+y = 6 so,6 (x2 – y2) = 24 y
x2 – y2 = 4y
x2 = y2 + 4y…………..1
also
12/ 2x-y – 12/2x +y = 1 4x2 – y2 = 24y
x2 = [24y + y2] / 4 ……………….2
16y + 4y2 = 24y + y2 [put X2 value from 1] 3y2 = 8 y so, y = 8/3

So 48/x + 56/y = 12 Solve the equations, u = 1/6, v = 1/14
And 54/x + 70/y = 14 So upstream speed = 6 km/hr,

km =(9/54) x 60 = 10 minutes.
 The ratio between the rate of speed of travelling of A and B is 2:3 and therefore A

ব্যাখ্যা Let B and A takes T minutes and (T + 20) minutes respectively.
Speed Inversely proportional to time, So time taken by A and B is
(T + 20) : T = 1/2 : 1/3 = 3 : 2
=> (T + 20)/T = 3/2
=> 2T + 40 = 3T
T = 40
A takes (T + 20) = (40 + 20) = 60 min. If A had walked at double the speed then

Number System Mixtures and Alligations Time and Work

Direction & Owner:

Number System -সংখ্যা পদ্ধতি

By reversing the digits, number obtained is (2x)10 + 3x = 23x

Since the difference is 27, we have 9x = 27 or x = 3

hence digits are 6 and 9 and original number is 69

∴The least number which should be subtracted from 427398

so that it becomes divisible by 15 = 3.

Given that Remainder = 46 230

Shovho(DU), Maya (RU) ATIQUR RAHMAN Page 2

=> Divisor = 10 × Quotient = (Divisor × Quotient) +

=> Quotient = 230/10=23 = 5290 + 46

third of that number?

let number be X => 2/3X= 48

=>X-48 = X/3, so 2/3th of number=48

=> X-X/3 =48,

 One-fifth of a number is equal to 5/8th of another number. If 35 is added to the first

(1/5)x =(5/8)y………..1 put in eq 1… (1/5)( 4y-35) = (5/8)y

if 35 is added to first no. , x + 35= 4y y=40 =second number

=> sum is 269

2x2 + 7x = 15 => 2x(x+5)-3(x+5) = 0,

2x2+ 7x – 15 = 0, => (x+5)(2x-3) = 0

=> 2x2 + 10x-3x – 15 = 0 => x = -5 or x = 3/2

the third together make 182. The numbers in question are

let number be x, x+1, x+2 x=19, so numbers are 19,20,21

=> x2= (25×3)/(216×2) = 25/144,

Shovho(DU), Maya (RU) ATIQUR RAHMAN Page 4

(9X/2)+(45/4)+3 = 25×(6/5) =>X=7/2 or 3(1/2)

=> X2+ 2X = 6723

Shovho(DU), Maya (RU) ATIQUR RAHMAN Page 5

 If the number obtained on interchanging the digits of a 2 digit number is 18 more

=> 12x+12 = 72, Largest number = 4(5)+8 = 20+8 = 28

 What is the number if 60% of it added to 60 gives the number itself ?

=> 90+60 = 150

Shovho(DU), Maya (RU) ATIQUR RAHMAN Page 6

No of 10p = 1600×16/285 = 89.82 = 90

ব্যাখ্যা a3+ b3– c3 = -3(abc) = -3(30) = -90

 A2 + b2 + c2 = ab + bc + ca then the value of (a+b)/(b+c) is

Shovho(DU), Maya (RU) ATIQUR RAHMAN Page 7

(8-x)(20-x) = (12 – x)(12 –x ) x2

3x = 1956 – 3 = 1953 23% of largest num = 23×653/100 =

X = 1953/3 = 651 150.19

 If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 100% and the denominator is

2x/3y = 16/15, =>x/y = (16×3) / (15×2) = 8/5 = 1(3/5)

 Which of the following number is divisible by 11 ?

ব্যাখ্যা (9+3+4+7) – (2+4+5+1) = 11

Shovho(DU), Maya (RU) ATIQUR RAHMAN Page 8

120y/100 = another no = 6y/5 = 600/20 = 30%

Third = 4, =>Four = 2, =>First = 4×2 =8

ব্যাখ্যা 100/5 + 100/25 = 20+4 = 24

 x+y = 8 and x/y = 7 ,find y

Z+x = 23, =>X+y+z = 25 z = 25 – 11 = 14

Shovho(DU), Maya (RU) ATIQUR RAHMAN Page 9

3x+6 = 40+ (3x+6)/3, =>(9x+18 – 3x-6)/3= 40

6x + 12 = 120, =>X = 108/6 = 18, =>18+2 = 20

 x+(1/x) = 2, then find the value of x10 + (-1/x)10

x10 + (-1/x)10 = 1+1 = 2

Avg of 9 no = (9+1)/2 = 5, =>5- 4 = 1

Shovho(DU), Maya (RU) ATIQUR RAHMAN Page 10

 When a positive number n is divided by 7 leaves the remainder 2, when 3n is

 The number of prime factors of 510510

ব্যাখ্যা 2×3×5×7×11×13×17 = 510510
