Efficiency of Rashid and Danish are in the ratio 5:8. If Danish takes 51 days less than Rashid to complete the work, find the time taken by Rashid to complete the work.

A. 85 days
B. 126 days
C. 118 days
D. 136 days
Time taken is inversely proportional to their efficiency. So, time taken is in the ratio 8:5. Time taken by Rashid to finish the work = 8x Time taken by Danish to finish the work = 5x 8x-5x=51 3x=51 x=17 8x=136

A. 7 hour 15 minutes
B. 7 hour 30 minutes
C. 8 hour 15 minutes
D. 8 hour 30 minutes
Pages typed by Mansoor-Ul-Haque in 1 hour = 32/6 = 16/3
Pages typed by Aaqib in 1 hour = 40/5 = 8
Pages typed by Mansoor-Ul-Haque and Aaqib in 1 hour = 16/3 + 8 = 40/3
Time taken to type 110 pages when Mansoor-Ul-Haque and Aaqib work together = 110 × 3 /40 = 33/4
= 8 ¼ hours = 8 hour 15 minutes

Machine P can print one lakh books in 8 hours. Machine Q can print the same number of books in 10 hours while machine R can print the same in 12 hours. All the machines started printing at 9 A.M. Machine P is stopped at 11 A.M. and the remaining two machines complete work. Approximately at what time will the printing of one lakh books be completed?

Machine P is stopped at 11 A.M. and the remaining two machines complete work. Approximately at what time will the printing of one lakh books be completed?

A. 3 pm
B. 2 pm
C. 1:00 pm
D. 11 am
Work done by P in 1 hour = 1/8
Work done by Q in 1 hour = 1/10
Work done by R in 1 hour = 1/12
Work done by P,Q and R in 1 hour = 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/12 = 37/120
Work done by Q and R in 1 hour = 1/10 + 1/12 = 22/120 = 11/60
From 9 am to 11 am, all the machines were operating.
Ie, they all operated for 2 hours and work completed = 2 × (37/120) = 37/60
Pending work = 1- 37/60 = 23/60
Hours taken by Q an R to complete the pending work = (23/60) / (11/60) = 23/11
which is approximately equal to 2
Hence the work will be completed approximately 2 hours after 11 am ; ie around 1 pm

P is able to do a piece of work in 15 days and Q can do the same work in 20 days. If they can work together for 4 days, what is the fraction of work left?

A. 8/15
B. 7/15
C. 11/15
D. 2/11
Amount of work P can do in 1 day = 1/15
Amount of work Q can do in 1 day = 1/20
Amount of work P and Q can do in 1 day = 1/15 + 1/20 = 7/60
Amount of work P and Q can together do in 4 days = 4 × (7/60) = 7/15
Fraction of work left = 1 – 7/15= 8/15
