1. A is twice efficient as B. A and B together do the same work in as much time as C 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?
A. 18 Days
B. 20 Days
C. 30 Days
D. 36 Days
E. Cannot be determined
Answer & Explanation
Answer – A. 18 Days
Explanation :
Assume working days
A = x, B = 2x, C = 2y, D = 3y
1/x+1/2x = 1/2y+1/3y
And 2x-2y = 16
Solving we get x = 18 days.
2. 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 many days does the
remaining work will be completed if both of them work with their full efficiencies?
A. 1 Day
B. 1.5 Days
C. 2 Days
D. 2.5 Days
E. None
Answer – B. 1.5 Days

Explanation :
15*(1/80+1/60) + 15*(1/120+1/40) + x*(1/40+1/60) = 1
X= 3/2 = 1.5
3. 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?
A. 21 Days
B. 21 7/8 Days
C. 21 5/6 Days
D. 21 4/9 Days
E. None
1|P ag e
Answer – C. 21 5/6 Days

Explanation :
First day = 1/30
Second day = 1/30+1/45
Third day = 1/30+1/60
3 days work = 3/30+1/45+1/60 = 25/180
3*7 = 21 days work = 175/180
Now 1/36 work is left which can be completed by A alone
1/36*30 = 5/6
21+5/6 = 21 5/6 Days
4. 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?

Aptitude Questions: Time And Work Set 15
1. 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
B. 31/3 days
C. 35/3 days
4|P ag e
D. 38/3 days
E. None of these
Answer – C. 35/3 days

Explanation :
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.
2. Kiran can do a work in 20 days, while Karan can do the same work in 25 days. They
started the work jointly. Few days later Suman 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 Suman?
A. 200
B. 400
C. 100
D. 300
E. 500
Answer – C. 100
Explanation :
Efficiency of Kiran = 5%
Efficiency of Karan = 4%
They will complete only 90% of the work = [(5+4)*10] =90
Remaining work done by Suman = 10%.
Share of Suman = 10/100 * 1000 = 100
3. 7 Indian and 4 American finish a job in 6 days. 7 African and 3 American finish the
same job in 8 days. The efficiency of each person of a particular nationality is same but
different from others. One Indian One American and One African will complete the
work in:
A. 10 days
B. 12 days
C. 24 days
D. 36 days
E. None of these
Answer – C. 24 days
Explanation :
Explanation:
7I + 4Am = 1/6
7Af + 4Am = 1/8
7I + 7Af + 7Am = 7/24
5|P ag e
1I + 1Af + 1Am = 1/24

One Indian One American and One African will complete the work in – 24 days.
4. 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?
A. 26/9 days
B. 46/9 days
C. 16/9 days
D. 56/9 days
E. None of these
Explanation :
No of days taken by Arun = 12 days
No of days(Arun:Bala:Chitra) = 2:3:1
1 day work of (Arun+Bala) = 5/36
1 day work of (Bala+Chitra) = 8/36
1 day work of (Chitra+Arun) = 9/36
5 days total work – 35/36
1/36 is done by Arun-Chitra
Number of days taken by Arun-Chitra for the rest of the work = (1/36)/(9/36) = 1/9
Total time taken to complete the work = 5 + 1/9 = 46/9 days
5. A work is done by 30 workers not all of them have the same capacity to work. Every day
exactly 2 workers, do the work with no pair of workers working together twice. Even
after all possible pairs have worked once, all the workers together works for six more
days to finish the work. Find the number of days in which all the workers together will
finish the work?
A. 22 days
B. 20 days
C. 24 days
D. 35 days
E. 32 days
Answer – D. 35 days
Explanation :
30 workers work in pairs, with no same pair of workers working together twice
29[1/w1 + 1/w2 ….. + 1/w30] + 6[1/w1 + 1/w2 ….. + 1/w30] = 1
[1/w1 + 1/w2 ….. + 1/w30] = 1/35
35 days.
6. Arun can do a piece of work in 10 days, Bala 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. 5000 as wages

D. 600, 500, 300
E. 400, 300, 200
Answer – A. 600, 400, 500

Explanation :
A’s 5 days work = 50%
B’s 5 days work = 33.33%
C’s 2 days work = 16.66%[100- (50+33.33)] Ratio of contribution of work of Arun, Bala and Chitra =
3:2:1
Arun’s total share = Rs. 3000
Bala’s total share = Rs. 2000
Chitra’s total share = Rs. 1000
Arun’s one day’s earning = Rs.600
Bala’s one day’s earning = Rs.400
Chitra’s one day’s earning = Rs.500
7. A Contractor employed a certain number of workers to finish constructing a building in

a certain scheduled time. Some time later, when a part of work had been completed, he
realized that the work would get delayed by half of the scheduled time, so he at once
doubled the no of workers and thus he managed to finish the building on the scheduled
time. How much work he had been completed, before increasing the number of
workers?
A. 200/3 %
B. 100/3 %
C. 300/3 %
D. Can’t be determined
E. None of these
Answer – B. 100/3 %
Explanation :
Explanation:
D * x +(100- D) * 2x= 150x
=> D= 50 days
work done in 50 days = 50x
Total work = 150x
50x/150x * 100 = 100/3
8. (x-2) person can do a work in x days and (x+7) person can do 75% of the same work in
(x-10)days. Then in how many days can (x+10) person finish the work?
A. 27 days
7|P ag e
B. 12 days
C. 25 days
D. 18 days
E. None of these
Explanation :
3/4 * (x-2)x = (x+7)(x-10)
x – 6x – 280 = 0
x = 20; x = -14
(x-2)x = 18 * 20 = 360
360 = 30 * y
y = 12 days
9. The ratio of efficiency of Arun is to Chitra is 5:3. The ratio of number of days taken by
Bala is to Chitra is 2:3. Arun takes 6 days less than Chitra, when Arun and
Chitra complete the work individually. Bala and Chitra started the work and left after 2
days. The number of days taken by Arun to finish the remaining work is?
A. 4 days
B. 5 days
C. 6 days
D. 9 days
E. None of these
Answer – C. 6 days
Explanation :
Ratio of number of days = 9:10:15
Work done By B and C in first two days = 2*1/6 = 1/3
Rest of the work = 2/3
Number of days = (2/3)/(1/9) = 6 days
10. Arun is twice efficient as Bala and together they do the same work in as much time as
Chitra and David together. If Chitra and David can complete the work in 20 and 30
days respectively, working alone, then in how many days A can complete the work
individually?
A. 12 days
B. 18 days
C. 24 days
D. 30 days
E. None of these
Explanation :

1. 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?
A. Rs.360
B. Rs.385
C. Rs.240
D. can’t be determined
E. None of these
Answer – C. Rs.240
Explanation :
Efficiency of Kiran = 4%
Efficiency of Ravi = 2%
[(4+2)*10] = 60%
The remaining work done by Sumit = 40%.
40% of 600 = 240
2. 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?
A. 2 days
B. 4 days
C. 6 days
D. 8 days
E. 5 days
Answer – E. 5 days
Explanation :
The days ratio of (Angel + Bala + Chitra) : (Bala + Chitra) = X:3X/2 = 2X:3x;
Efficiency ratio = 3X:2X
Efficiency of Angel = x.
(480/3X) = Rs.160
Amount received by Bala = Rs.120 & Chitra = 200
160:120:200 =4:3:5
1/4:1/3:1/5= 15:20:12;
(1/15+1/12+1/20)*Y = 1
Y = 5 days

C. 600, 400, 200
D. 600, 400, 500
E. None of these
Answer – D. 600, 400, 500

Explanation :
Explanation:
Angel’s 5 days work = 50%
Balu’s 5 days work = 33.33%
Chitra’s 2 days work = 16.66% [100- (50+33.33)] Ratio of work of Angel, Balu and Chitra = 3: 2: 1
Angel’s total share = Rs. 3000
Balu’s total share = Rs. 2000
Chitra’s total share = Rs. 1000
Angel’s one day’s wage = Rs.600
Balu’s one day’s wage = Rs.400
Chitra’s one day’s wage = Rs.500
4. 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
B. 9 days
C. 18 days
D. 5 days
E. None of these
Explanation :
Let the work lasted for x days,
Ravi’s 4 day’s work + Rakesh (x – 3) day’s work + Geeta’s x day’s work = 1
⇒ (4/16) + (x – 3) / (64/5) + x/32 = 1
⇒ 5(x – 3)/64 + x/32 = 1 – 1/4
⇒ [5(x – 3) + 2x] / 64 = 3/4
⇒ 7x – 15 = 48
∴ x = (48 + 15)/7 = 63/7 = 9 days
5. 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
10 | P a g e
passages as Ramu can, during seven hours. How many pages does each of them type per
hour?
A. 16, 18, 22
B. 14, 17, 20
C. 15, 17, 22
D. 15, 18, 21
E. 16, 19, 22
Answer – E. 16, 19, 22

Explanation :
Let Rohit, Harsh and Sanjeev can type x, y and z pages respectively in 1 h.
Therefore, they together can type 4(x + y + z) pages in 4 h
∴ 4(x + y + z) = 228
⇒ x + y + z = 57 …..(i)
Also, z – y = y – x
i.e., 2y = x + z ……(ii)
5z = 7x ……(iii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
3y = 57
⇒ y = 19
From Eq. (ii), x + z = 38
x = 16 and z = 22
6. 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 work.
For how many days A worked alone?
A. 9
B. 11
C. 10
D. 25
E. 12
Answer – B. 11
Explanation :
Efficiency (A : B) = 5 : 4
Number of days(A : B) = 4x : 5x = 4x : 25
∴ Number of days required by A to finish the work alone = 4x
= 4 x 5 = 20.
A and B work together for last 5 days = 5 x 9 = 45%
Efficiency of A = 5% and B’s efficiency = 4%
∴ No. of days taken by A to complete 55% work = 55/5 = 11days
7. 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
11 | P a g e
they are equally efficient and the extra work is done by women, then extra hours of
work put in by women every day are?
A. 5
B. 3
C. 4
D. 9
E. None of these
Answer – A. 5
Explanation :
Let extra hours a day are x.
According to the formula,
(M1D1T1) / W1 = (M2D2T2) / W2
⇒ [1 x 1 x (8 + 6)] / 1 = [1 x 1 x (8 + 8 + x)] / 3/2
⇒ (3/2) x 14 = 16 + x
⇒ 21= 16 + x
∴ x = 21 – 16 = 5
8. 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
B. 75
C. 90
D. 70
E. 65
Answer – C. 90
Explanation :
M1 = 150, M2 = 150 – n, D1 = 72, D2 = 90
W1= 2/3 and W2 = 1/3
According to the formula,
(M1D1) / W1 = (M2D2) / W2
⇒ [150 x 72] / 2 = [(150 – n) x 90] / 1
⇒ (150 x 72) / (2 x 60) = (150 – n)
⇒ (150 – n) = 60
∴ n = 150 – 60 = 90
9. 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?
A. 6
B. 8
C. 10
12 | P a g e
D. 12
E. 20
Answer – E. 20
Explanation :
Efficiency of Sanjay = (100/50) = 2%
Rest work = 75%
∴ Efficiency of Ajit = 75/25 = 3%
∴ Combined efficiency of Sanjay and Ajit = 5%
∴ Number of days required by Sonu and Abhijeet, to work together = 100/5 = 20 days.
10. Kiran can do a piece of work in 9 days and Kumar can do the same work in 18 days.

same whole work in 3 days. What is the total number of days in which they had
completed the work?
A. 12
B. 8
C. 4
D. 6
E. None of these
Answer – C.4 days

Explanation :
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.

13 | P a g e
So 3/5 = 3/x
x=5
2. 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:
A.15 days
B.20 days
C.25 days
D.30 days
E.35 days
Answer – C.25 days

Explanation :
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
3. 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?
A.25 days
B.20 days
C.30 days
D.35 days
E.15 days

Explanation :
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

4. 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?
A.39 days
B.37 days
C.37 ½ days
D.40 days
E.39 ½ days
Answer – C.37 ½ days

Explanation :
Dinesh work done = 20*5/4 = 25 days
1/5 workdone by Dinesh and gokul in 3days.
Whole work done = 15 days
Dinesh 1 days work = 1/25
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.
5. 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?
A.45
B.60
C.35
D.50
E.65
Answer – B.60
Explanation :
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.
6. 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?
A.50/97 days
B.87 days
C.50/29 days
D.78 days
E.62 days
15 | P a g e
Answer – C.50/29 days

Explanation :
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.
7. 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?
A.30hrs
B.40hrs
C.25hrs
D.45hrs
E.50hrs
Answer – B.40hrs
Explanation :
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.
8. 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?
A.8 hours
B.8 hours 15 minutes
C.9 hours
D.8 hours 25 minutes
E.9 hours 15 minutes
Answer – B.8 hours15 minutes

Explanation :
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
9. 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.
16 | P a g e
A.Rs 44, Rs 80 and Rs 264

B.Rs 40, Rs 87 and Rs 276
C.Rs 36, Rs 81 and Rs 243
D.Rs 42, Rs 86 and Rs 232
E.Rs 37, Rs 89 and Rs 284
Answer – C.Rs 36, Rs 81 and Rs 243

Explanation :
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.
10. 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?
A.20 days
B.10 days
C.15 days
D.25 days
E.30 days

Explanation :
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
So after 2+13 = 15 days works will be completed
1. 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?
a) 20 days
b) 30 days
c) 40 days
d) 10 days
e) None of these
17 | P a g e
Answer – b) 30 days
Explanation :
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
2. 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?
a) 100
b) 200
c) 300
d) 400
e) None of these
Answer – b) 200
Explanation :
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
3. 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

alone.
a) 20 days
b) 30 days
c) 40 days
d) 50 days
e) None of these
Answer – c) 40 days
Explanation :
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

5. 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
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.
a) 32 minutes
b) 20 minutes
c) 25 minutes
d) 40 minutes
e) None of these
Answer – a) 32 minutes
Explanation :
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
6. 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?
a) 6.2 days
b) 7.2 days
c) 8.2 days
d) 9.2 days
e) None of these
Answer – b) 7.2 days

Explanation :
19 | P a g e
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
7. 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?
a) 30
b) 35
c) 40
d) 45
e) None of these
Answer – c) 40
Explanation :
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
8. 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?

a) 32
b) 36
c) 44
d) 48
e) None of these
20 | P a g e
Answer – d) 48
Explanation :
1/A + 1/B = 1/24 , 1/B + 1/C = 1/32
10/A + 14/B + 26/C = 1
10(1/A + 1/B) + 4(1/B + 1/C) + 22/C = 1
10/24 + 4/32 + 22/C = 1, we get C = 48 days
10. 50 men could complete a work in 200 days. They worked together for 150 days, after

should be employed so as to complete the work in time?
a) 25
b) 35
c) 50
d) 60
e) None of these
Answer – c) 50
Explanation :
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

20 days to finish the work then what will be the share of A if 1000 rupees is given for the
whole work?
a) 400
b) 500
c) 600
d) 700
e) None of these
23 | P a g e
Answer – c) 600
Explanation :
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
9. 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.
a) 80/3 days
b) 100/3 days
c) 60/3 days
d) 140/3 days
e) None of these
Answer – a) 80/3 days

Explanation :
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
10. P can do a piece of work in 20 days. Q is 25 percent more efficient than P. In how many

them start working together then the time in which the work can be done?
a) 12.1/9 days
b) 11.1/9 days
c) 11.2/9 days
24 | P a g e
d) 12.4/9 days
e) None of these
Answer – b) 11.1/9 days

Explanation :
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
2. 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.
a) 80 days
b) 100 days
c) 120 days
d) 140 days
e) None of these
Answer – a) 80 days
Explanation :
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
3. 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?
a) 20men
b) 25men
c) 30men
d) 40men
e) None of these
Answer – c) 30men
Explanation :
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)
4. 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?
a) 25
b) 35
c) 50
25 | P a g e
d) 60
e) None of these
Answer – c) 50
Explanation :
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
5. 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.
a) 100
b) 120
c) 140
d) 160
e) None of these
Answer – b) 120
Explanation :
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
6. 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) 150/13 days
b) 160/13 days
c) 170/3 days
d) 190/3 days
e) None of these
Answer – b) 160/13 days

Explanation :
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
7. 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?
a) 50 days
b) 60 days
c) 70 days
26 | P a g e
d) 80 days
e) None of these
Explanation :
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
8. X and Y can do a piece of work in 12 and 15 days respectively. They began their work

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)
4. 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?
a) 7/3 days
b) 8/3 days
c) 10/3 days
d) 11/3 days
e)None of these

Explanation :
1/6 + 1/8 + 1/12 = 1/d.
D = 8/3 days
5. 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.
a) 42 days
b) 44 days
c) 46 days
d) 48 days
e)None of these
Answer – d) 48 days
Explanation :
1/a + 1/b + 1/c = 1/20 (given)
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
6. 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.
a) 200/33 days
b) 200/31 days
c) 200/35 days
29 | P a g e
d) 200/37 days
e)None of these

Explanation :
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)
7. 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.
a) 5:1
b) 6:1
c) 7:3
d) 4:5
e)None of these
Answer – b) 6:1
Explanation :
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
8. 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.
a) 30
b) 40
c) 50
d) 60
e) None of these
Answer – b) 40
Explanation :
Let initially there are X men. Then x*45 = (x-10)*60. So we get x = 40
9. 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?
a) 25 days
b) 20 days
c) 30 days
d) 35 days
e) None of these
30 | P a g e
Explanation :
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
10. 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.
a) 1:2
b) 2:1
c) 1:1
d) 3:2
e) None of these
Answer – c) 1:1
Explanation :
4w + 5m = 3*(2w + m)
i.e. 2w = 2m
so ratio of work done by man to woman is 1:1
1. 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) 6 5/9 days
B) 5 days
C) 10 7/9 days
D) 10 9/7 days
E) 6 2/9 days
C) 10 7/9 days
Explanation:
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
2. 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?
31 | P a g e
A) 35 days
B) 33 days
C) 43 days
D) 40 days
E) 45 days
D) 40 days
Explanation:
(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
3. 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?
A) 18 days
B) 20 days
C) 8 days
D) 12 days
E) 10 days
E) 10 days
Explanation:
Let (7+7) complete remaining work in x days. So
20*14 = 7*20 + 14*x
x = 10 days
4. 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
B) 3/7
C) 4/7
D) 3/8
E) None of these
B) 3/7
Explanation:
32 | P a g e
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
5. 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?
A) 6 5/9 days
B) 6 2/9 days
C) 6 days
D) 5 4/9 days
E) 7 2/9 days
B) 6 2/9 days
Explanation:
(A+C) = (1/10 + 1/15) = 1/6. They worked for 4 days so did (1/6)*4 = 2/3rd of work
Remaining work = 1 – 2/3 = 1/3
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
6. 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?
A) 2/3
B) 3/4
C) 1/3
D) 3/5
E) 2/5
A) 2/3
Explanation:
Let work completed in x days, so A and C worked for all x days, and B for (x-3) days. So
(1/10 + 1/15)*x + (1/12)*(x-3) = 1
Solve, x = 5 days
In 5 days, A did 5/10 = 1/2 of work
In (5-3) = 2 days, B did 2/12 = 1/6 of work
So total by A and B = (1/2 + 1/6) = 2/3
7. 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?
A) 9 days
B) 6 days
33 | P a g e
C) 7 days
D) 12 days
E) 10 days
B) 6 days
Explanation:
2m + 3w = 4, 3m + 2w = 3
So 4(2m + 3w) = 3(3m + 2w)
8m + 12w = 9m + 6w
6w = 1m
Given 2m + 3w = 4, so 2*(6w) + 3w = 4, so 15 women in 4 days, so 10 women in (15*4)/10 = 6 days
8. 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?
A) 16 days
B) 21 days
C) 15 days
D) 20 days
E) 25 days
C) 15 days
Explanation:
Shortcut = √5×45 = 15
OR
Let (A+B) can do in x days, so
1/(x+5) + 1/(x+45) = 1/x
Solve, x2 = 225, x = 15
9. 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?
A) 18
B) 24
C) 20
D) 16
E) 15
D) 16
Explanation:
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
Remaining work = 1 – 3/5 = 2/5
34 | P a g e
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
10. 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?
A) 8 1/4 days
B) 8 3/4 days
C) 9 days
D) 10 3/4 days
E) 11 1/3 days
B) 8 3/4 days
Explanation:
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

together. Find the days required to complete the remaining work.
a) 36/7
b) 35/6
c) 36/5
d) 32/5
Answer & Solution
Answer – c) 36/5
Solution:
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
41 | P a g e
10. 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.
a) 28
b) 32
c) 34
d) 35
Answer & Solution
Answer – a) 28
Solution:
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)32days
B)27days
C)22days
D)25(1/2)days
E)None of these
Answer
B)27days
Explanation :
A’s one day’s work:B’s one days work = 125:100 = 5:4
Let A’s & B’s one day’s work be 5x and 4x days
Then C’s one day’s work = 9x/2
= > 9x/2 = 1/30
= > x = ((1/30)*(2/9)) = 1/135
A’s one day’s work = 5/135 = 1/27
2. P can finish a work in 27 days, Q in 9 days and C in 12 days. Q & R start the work but

A)6 days
B)9 days
C)10 days
D)12 days
E)None of these
Answer
42 | P a g e
A)6 days
Explanation :
(Q+R)’s one day’s work = 1/9+1/12 = 7/36
Q & R in 3 days = 4*7/36 = 7/9
