Question - 1

10 men can complete a piece of work in 15 days and 15 women can complete the same work in 12 days. 10 men and 15 women together would complete the work in

  • A \(6\frac{2}{3}\) days
  • B \(8\frac{1}{3}\)days
  • C \(7\frac{2}{3}\)days
  • D None of these

Question - 2

A can do a piece of work in 30 days while B can do it in 40 days. A and B working together can do it in

  • A \(15\frac{2}{7}\) days
  • B \(17\frac{1}{7}\) days
  • C \(18\frac{3}{7}\)days
  • D None of these

Question - 3

A, B and C can do a piece of work in 6, 12 and 24 days, respectively. They all together will complete the work in

  • A \(5\frac{2}{7}\)days
  • B \(4\frac{3}{7}\) days
  • C \(3\frac{3}{7}\) days
  • D None of these

Question - 4

Ramesh takes twice as much time as Mahesh and thrice as much time as Suresh to complete a job. If working together, they can complete the job in 4 days, then the time taken by each of them separately to complete the work is

  • B 20, 16 and 12 days
  • C 24,42 and 8 days
  • D None of these

Question - 5

Sneha takes twice as much time as Gitika to complete a work and Ritu does it in the same time as Sneha and Gitika together. If all three working together can finish the work in 6 days, then the time taken by each of them to finish the work is

  • C 40 days
  • D None of these

Question - 7

Anu can complete a work in 10 days. Manu is 25% more efficient than Anu and Sonu is 60% more efficient than Manu. Working together, how long would they take to finish the job?
