41. A tyre has two punctures. The first puncture alone would have made subtracting them. As, Suppose B takes x dys to do the work.
the tyre flat in 9 minutes and the second alone would have done it in 6 Son's one day work = As per question A will take
minutes. If air leaks out at a constant rate, how long does it take both the (1/3 1/5 )=(53/15 )=2/15 23/4 x
punctures together to make it flat? So son will do whole work in 15/2 days =3x/2 days
(a) 3 min which is =7 days (A+B)s 1 days work= 1/18
44. A can do a job in 16 days, B can do same job in 12 days. With the 1/x + 2/3x = 1/18 or x = 30 days
(b) 3 min
help of C they did the job in 4 days. C alone can do the same job in 47. A is thrice as good a workman as B and takes 10 days less to do a
(c) 3 min how many days ? piece of work than B takes. B alone can do the whole work in
(d) 3 min (a) 6 1/2 days (a) 15 days
Answer: Option C (b) 7 1/2 days (b) 10 days
Explanation:
Do not be confused, Take this question same as that of work done (c) 8 3/5 days (c) 9 days
question's. Like work done by 1st puncture in 1 minute and by second in 1 (d) 9 3/5 days (d) 8 days
minute. C's 1 day work = 48. A can do a piece of work in 15 days and B alone can do it in 10
Lets Solve it: 1/4 (1/16 +1/12 )=(1/4 7/48 )=5/48 days. B works at it for 5 days and then leaves. A alone can finish the
1 minute work done by both the punctures = So C can alone finish the job in 48/5 days, remaining work in
(1/9 +1/6 )=(5/18 ) Which is = (a) 5 days
So both punctures will make the type flat in 9 day
(b) 6 days
(18/5 )mins 45. To complete a work A and B takes 8 days, B and C takes 12 days,
=3 mins A,B and C takes 6 days. How much time A and C will take (c) 7.5 days
42. A is twice as good as workman as B and together they finish a (a) 24 days (d) 8.5 days
piece of work in 18 days. In how many days will B alone finish the Answer: Option C
(b) 16 days
work. Explanation:
(a) 27 days (b) 54 days (c) 12 days B's 5 days work =
(c) 56 days (d) 68 days (d) 8 days 1/10 5=1/2 Remaining work =11/2 =1/2 A can finish work =151/2
Answer: Option B Answer: Option D =7.5days
Explanation: Explanation: 49. A can do a piece of work in 4 hours . A and C together can do it in
As per question, A do twice the work as done by B. A+B 1 day work = 1/8 just 2 hours, while B and C together need 3 hours to finish the same
So A:B = 2:1 B+C 1 day work = 1/12 work. In how many hours B can complete the work ?
Also (A+B) one day work = 1/18 A+B+C 1 day work = 1/6 (a) 10 hours
To get days in which B will finish the work, lets calculate work done by B in We can get A work by (A+B+C)-(B+C)
1 day =
(b) 12 hours
And C by (A+B+C)-(A+B)
=(1/18 1/3 )=1/54 So A 1 day work = 1/6 1/12 =1/12 (c) 16 hours
[Please note we multiplied by 1/3 as per B share and total of ratio is Similarly Cs 1 day work = 1/6 1/8 =43/24 =1/24 (d) 18 hours
1/3]So B will finish the work in 54 days So A and Cs 1 day work =1/12 +1/24 =3/24 =1/8 Answer: Option B
43. A man can do a piece of work in 5 days, but with the help of his So A and C can together do this work in 8 days Explanation:
son he can do it in 3 days. In what time can the son do it alone? 46. A does half as much work as B in three-fourth of the time. If Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/4
(a) 7 1/2 days together they take 18 days to complete the work, how much time Work done by B and C in 1 hour = 1/3
(b) 6 1/2 days shall B take to do it Work done by A and C in 1 hour = 1/2
(c) 5 1/2 days (a) 40 days Work done by A,B and C in 1 hour = (1/4)+(1/3) = 7/12
(b) 35 days Work done by B in 1 hour = (7/12)(1/2) = 1/12
(d) 4 1/2 day => B alone can complete the work in 12 hour
Answer: Option A (c) 30 days

(d) 19 km/hr Answer: Option B then (Distance moved by first in x hrs) + [Distance moved by second in (x-
Answer: Option C Explanation: 1) hrs]
Explanation: We know Time = Distance/speed = 330 So, 60x+75(x-1) = 330
Speed=Distance/Time Distance=750meter So total time taken = x=3. So,they meet at (8+3). i.e 11a.m.

(d) 1 hour Average speed = Explanation:
Answer: Option D 2xy/(x+y) =24060/(40+60 )=4800/100 =48Km/hr Time taken to cover 600 km = 6 hours [because train speed is 100 km/hr]
Explanation: stops = 600/75 1 = 8 1 = 7 ------------ subtracted 1 as at 600 km the last
Let the duration of the flight be x hours. 8th stop.
Then extra time = 7 3 = 21 minutes

Relative speed of the thief and policeman = (11 10) km/hr = 1 km/hr [Because distance = speedtime] Note: - The equator passes through 13 countries: Ecuador, Colombia,
Distance covered in 6 minutes = (27x+17y)/(x+y )=23 Brazil, Sao Tome & Principe, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Democratic
1/60 6=1/10 =100meters =>27x+17y=23x+23y Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Maldives, Indonesia
