A, B and C can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. In how many days can A do the work if he is assisted by B and C on every third day ?

A. 18

B. 12

C. 15

D. 14

Answer : C. 15

Explanation:

A’s 2 day’s work = 1/20 x 2
= 1/10
(A + B + C) 1 day’s Work = (1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60)
= 6/60
= 1/10
Now,
Work done in 3 days = (1/10) + (1/10)
= 1/5
Now 1/5 work is done in 3 days.
Now whole work will be done in 3 * 5 = 15 days.

Jake can dig a well in 16 days. Paul can dig the same well in 24 days. Jake, Paul and Hari together dig the well in 8 days. Hari alone can dig the well in ?

A. 48

B. 96

C. 24

D. 32

Answer : A. 48

Explanation:

As Jake , Paul and Hari can dig the well in 8 days,
Jack one day work = 1/16
Paul one day work = 1/24
Hari one day work = 1/x

Given,
(Jake, Paul and hari) 1 day work = 1/8

So, 1/16 + 1/24 + 1/x = 1/8
5/48 + 1/x = 1/8
1/x = 1/8 – 5/48
1/x = (6 – 5) / 48
= 1/48
1/x = 1/48

Therefore, Paul can finished work in 48 days.

A. 8 hours

B. 9 hours

C. 7 hours

D. 11 hours

Answer : A. 8 hours

Explanation:

    • Let a man can do 1 unit of work in 1 hour.
    • Total units of work = 4 * 8 * 5 = 160 units.
    • Now work = 2 * 160 = 320 units
    • Now 2 men work for 20 days. Let in x hours they have to work per day.
    • Now total work = 2 * x * 20 = 40x
    • 40x = 320
    • So x = 320/40
      • =

    8 hours
