8 children and 12 men complete a certain piece of work in 9 days. If each child takes twice the time taken by a man to finish the work, in how many days will 12 men finish the same work ?

A. 6 days
B. 8 days
C. 10 days
D. 12 days
2 children = 1 man
(8 children + 12 men ) = 16 men
Now, less men, more days
12 : 16 : 9 : x
x = 16×9/12=12 days

15 men can build a 500m long wall in 30 days. In how many days can 30 men build a 1.2 km long wall?

A. 48 days
B. 24 days
C. 40 days
D. 36 days
No. of days is
directly proportional to the length of the wall and
inversely proportional to the number of men No. of days = (1200/500)*(15/30)*30 = 36 days

If 28 men can finish a work in 15 days, 21 men can finish the same work in___________?

A. 24 days

P,Q and R together earn Rs.1620 in 9 days. P and R can earn Rs.600 in 5 days. Q and R in 7 days can earn Rs.910. How much amount does R can earn per day?

A. Rs.40
B. Rs.70
C. Rs.90
D. Rs.100
Amount Earned by P,Q and R in 1 day = 1620/9 = 180 —(1)
Amount Earned by P and R in 1 day = 600/5 = 120 —(2)
Amount Earned by Q and R in 1 day = 910/7 = 130 —(3)
(2)+(3)-(1) => Amount Earned by P , Q and 2R in 1 day
– Amount Earned by P,Q and R in 1 day = 120+130-180 = 70
=>Amount Earned by R in 1 day = 70

P and Q can complete a work in 20 days and 12 days respectively. P alone started the work and Q joined him after 4 days till the completion of the work. How long did the work last?

A. 5 days
B. 10 days
C. 15 days
D. 12 days
Work done by P in 1 day = 1/20
Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/12
Work done by P in 4 days = 4 × (1/20) = 1/5
Remaining work = 1 – 1/5 = 4/5
Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/20 + 1/12 = 8/60 = 2/15
Number of days P and Q take to complete the remaining work = (4/5) / (2/15) = 6
Total days = 4 + 6 = 10

P can lay railway track between two stations in 16 days. Q can do the same job in 12 days. With the help of R, they completes the job in 4 days. How much days does it take for R alone to complete the work?

A. 9(3/5) days
B. 9(1/5) days
C. 9(2/5) days
D. 10 days
Amount of work P can do in 1 day = 1/16
Amount of work Q can do in 1 day = 1/12
Amount of work P, Q and R can together do in 1 day = 1/4
Amount of work R can do in 1 day = 1/4 – (1/16 + 1/12) = 3/16 – 1/12 = 5/48
=> Hence R can do the job on 48/5 days = 9 (3/5) days
