Solve D2 = 4
 If 20 people can complete 2/5th of a work in 6 days working 4 hours each day, then how
much work will be completed by 30 people in 2 days working 8 hours each day?
Explanation:-
M1×D1×H1×W2 = M2×D2×H2×W1
20×6×4×W2 = 30×2×8×(2/5)
Solve W2 = 2/5

 10 people complete 2/5th of work in 8 days working 5 hours each day. How many
additional men are needed to complete the work in a total of 14 days working same number
of hours each day as earlier?
Explanation:-
Total work to be completed in 14 days, so (additional men+10 men already employed) will have
to complete remaining work (1 – 2/5 ) = 3/5 of work in (14-8) = 6 days.. let x is additional men
M1×D1×H1×W2 = M2×D2×H2×W1
10×8×5×(3/5) = (10+x)×6×5×(2/5)

  A camp can provide food to 150 men for 45 days. After 10 days, 25 left the camp. What is
the number of days for which the remaining food will last now?
Explanation:-
After 10 days, there is (45-10) = 35 days food for 150 men. But 25 men left, so there are 125
men left, and let now the same food is for x days for 125 men. So

 A certain piece of work was to be completed in 50 days for which 200 men were employed.
After working for 40 days, additional 100 men were employed to complete the work on
time. Had additional men were not employed, how many days behind schedule the work
would be finished?
Explanation:-
Let 200 men complete x work in 40 days after which (200+100) = 300 men complete the
remaining (1-x) work in remaining 10 days [Total work to be completed in 50 days] So,
M1×D1×W2 = M2×D2×W1
200×40×(1-x) = 300×10×x
Solve, x= 8/11
This means that initially employed 200 men can finish 8/11th of work in 40 days, so let they will
complete 1 whole work in x days.
M1×D1×W2 = M2×D2×W1
200×40×1 = 200×x×(8/11)
Solve, x = 55
This means extra (55-50) = 5 days will be required if additional men are not employed after 40
days.

Explanation:-
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)
Solve, D2 = 45 days

So 1m = 3/2 b
6m + 8b = 6 × (3/2) b + 9b = 18 b
So we have to find the number of days for 18 boys
3 boys do 1 work in 14 days working 6 hours, let 18 boys do twice work in x days working 2 hrs
each day, then
B1×D1×H1×W2 = B2×D2×H2×W1
3×14×6×2 = 18×x×2×1
Solve x = 14 days

 20 people can eat 100 burgers in 2 hours. In how many hours 200 burgers will be eaten by

work in 5 hours. If one man can do twice work in one hour as compared to one woman,
find the number of hours to type 200 pages by 10 women.
Explanation:-
Given 1 m = 2 w. So 2 m = 4w
2m+3w 100 pages in 5 hrs, so 4w+3w = 7 women 100 pages in 5 hours. So
M1×H1×W2 = M2×D2×H2×W1
7×5×200 = 10×H2×100
Solve H2 = 7

 Fruits were purchased for Rs 350. 9 boys ate 3/5th of them in 2 hours. 6 boys feel their

Explanation:-
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 after 10
days.

 If 2 men or 5 women can complete a work in 15 days, then in how many days 4 men and 5
women will complete the same work?
Explanation:-

Cross multiply and put in denominator
Days = 15×2×5/ [2×5 +5×4]

 To do a certain work in 9 days, some men were employed. All came on the first day, but
after seeing that there is too much labor for the work, 6 men left the work after 1 day. If the
work is now completed in 6 days more than the scheduled time, how many men were
initially employed?
Explanation:-
After 1 day, x men were to work for 8 days, but 6 men left, now (x-6) men will complete the
same remaining work in (8+6) = 14days.
So x×8 = (x-6)×14
Solve, x = 14

 A pipe filled 4/5th of a cistern in 10 minutes. How much more time will it take to fill the

Explanation:-
30×40×6×(3/5) = 20×D2×8×(2/5)
D2 = 54

 In a refugee camp, 20 people are provided food which was given for 5 days. 10 people left
this group after 2 days, and it was found that the remaining food lasted for 3 days for
remaining people. If the people would not have left, how many days the food would have
been lasted?
Explanation:-
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
000000000000000000000000000000000000000

 10 machines can wash 20 cars in 6 hours. In how many hours can 15 machines wash 40
cars?
Explanation:-
Washing cars is a work, so
M1×H1×W2 = M2×H2×W1
10×6×40 = 15×H2×20
Solve, H2 = 8 hrs

 To build a house, 5 men take 60 days working 8 hours each day. In how many days 2 such
houses can be built by 8 men working 10 hours each day?
Explanation:-
Building 1 house is 1, 2 houses is 2, so
M1×D1×H1×W2 = M2×D2×H2×W1
5×60×8×(2) = 8×D2×10×(1)
Solve, D2 = 60

 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 completed by 3 men
and 3 women?
Explanation:-
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.
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?
Explanation:-
2m + 6w = 10 D
Or 2(1m + 3w) = 10D
Or 1m + 3w = 20D
So 5(1m + 3w) = 20/5
Or 5m + 15w = 4D

 There is sufficient food for 40 men for a 15 days picnic. If after 6 days 4 men leave, how
many more days can the remaining men intake food?
Explanation:-
After 6 days, now food is left for 40 men for (15-6) = 9 days, now same food is eaten by (40-4) =
36 men, let it last for x days, so
40×9 = 36×x
Solve, x = 10
The food which was to last for 9 days for 40 men, now will last for 10 days for 36 men, so extra
1 day.

 A job is completed by 5 men or 7 women in 40 days, then in how many days thrice the job
as previous will be completed by 5 men and 3 women?
Explanation:-
5 m or 7 w
5m + 3w
Cross multiply and put in denominator
Days = 40×5×7/ [5×3 +7×5] = 28
so for thrice work, days = 28×3

 10 women completed 2/7th of work in 18 days working 6 hours each day. After this 5
women left and 2 men joined. In how many days working same number of hours, the
remaining work will get completed if 1 man is equal to 2 women?
Explanation:-
Remaining work = 1 – 2/7 = 5/7
After 18 days, 5 women left and 2 men joined so 4 women joined (1m = 2w), now number of
women is 5+4 = 9, so
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?
Explanation:-
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

 A work is to completed. 10 men started the work and completed 1/6th of the work in 5 days
working 3 hrs each day. 2 more men are employed. In how many days will the total number
of men complete four times work as before working 5 hours each day?
Explanation:-
M2 = (10+2) = 12 men, W2 = 4×(1/6) = 4/6
So,10×5×3×(4/6) = 12×D2×5×(1/6)
Solve, D2 = 10

 2 men or 4 women or 5 children can complete a piece of work in 38 days. In how many
days will 1 man, 1 woman and 1 child complete the same work?
Explanation:-

grams per head. At the end of 14 days, a troop arrives and it was found that the provisions
will last 34 days more, when given 825 grams per head. What is the strength of new troop?
Explanation :
6600×64×850 = 6600×14×850 + M×34×825
we get M = 10000
so new troops = 10000 – 6600 = 3400

 In a school there is a meal for 60 girls and 100 boys. If 50 boys have taken their meal, how
