Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

Assume that Pooja completes the job in ‘x’ days.
So, Aarti will take ‘2x’ days to complete the same job.

As Pooja takes 90 days less than Aarti, we get
x = 2x – 90
By solving this equation, we get x = 90 .
Thus, 2x = 2 x 90 = 180

Part of job done by Pooja in 1 day = 1/ 90
Part of job done by Aarti in 1 day = 1/180

(Part of job done together in 1 day) = (Part of job done by Pooja in 1 day) + (Part of job done by Aarti in 1 day)
= (1/90) + (1/180)
= 3/180
=1/60
(1/60)th part of whole job will be completed by Pooja and Aarti together in one day.

Therefore, the whole job will be completed in 60 days together.

Answer 6:

Correct answer : (b)
Hint: If ‘A’ is ‘x’ times as good a workman as ‘B’, then ratio of work done by A & B = x: 1
Monika’s 1 day work : Sonika’s 1 day work = 2:1
(Monika’s + Sonika’s ) 1 day work = 1 /20
Divide 1/20 in the ratio 2:1 ———( To divide the number ‘a’ into ratio x & y , we have first part = ax / x + y )

Therefore, Monika’s 1 day work = 1/20 x (2/2+1) = 1/30. Hence, Monika will alone finish the work in 30 days.

Answer 7:

Answer 8

Assume 1 man’s 1 day work = x & 1 boy’s 1 day work = y
From the given data, we can generate the equations as : 4x + 5y = 1/20 —(1) & 5x + 4y = 1/16 —(2)
By solving the simultaneous equations (1) & (2),
x = 1/ 80 & y = 0

Therefore, (4 men + 3 boys ) 1 day work = 4 x 1/80 + 3 x 0 = 1/20
