1. A certain number of men take 45 days to complete work. If there are 10 men less
then they will take 60 days to complete the work. Find the original number of men.
A. 50
B. 60
C. 30
D. 40
Answer – D. 40
Explanation:
Let us assume initially there are X men. Then x*45 = (x-10)*60. So we get x = 40
2. 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 a boy.
A. 5:1
B. 4:5
C. 6:1
D. 7:3
Answer – C. 6:1
Explanation:
Given that, 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
3. 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 a woman.
A. 1:1
B. 3:2
C. 1:2
D. 2:1
Answer – A. 1:1
Explanation:
Given
4w + 5m = 3*(2w + m)
i.e. 2w = 2m
so the ratio of work done by man to woman is 1:1
4. Manoj can do a work in 20 days, while Chandu can do the same work in 25 days.
They started the work jointly. A few days later Suresh also joined them and thus all of
them completed the whole work in 10 days. All of them were paid total Rs.1000. What
is the share of Suresh?
A. 100
B. 300
C. 200
D. 400
Answer – A. 100
Explanation:
Efficiency of Manoj = 5%
The efficiency of Chandu = 4%
They will complete only 90% of the work = [(5+4)*10] =90
Remaining work was done by Suresh = 10%.
Share of Suresh = 10/100 * 1000 = 100
5. Nagarjuna lends Rs 30,000 of two of his friends. He gives Rs 15,000 to the first at
6% p.a. simple interest. He wants to make a profit of 10% on the whole. The simple
interest rate at which he should lend the remaining sum of money to the second friend
is
A. 8%
B. 12%
C. 14%
D. 16%
Answer - C. 14%
Explanation:
Simple Interest on Rs 15000
=(15000×6×1)/100 = Rs. 900
Profit to made on Rs 30000
= 30000×10/100=Rs 3000
Simple Interest on Rs.15000 = 3000-900 = Rs.2100
Rate=(S.I.* 100)/(P * T)=(2100×100)/15000
=14% per annum
Therefore, the simple interest rate at which he should lend the remaining sum of money to
the second friend is 14%
