SSC CGL Tier1 Quantitative Aptitude Time and Work Test 4

1391.X can do ¼ of a work in 10 days, Y can do 40% of work in 40 days and
Z can do 1/3 of work in 13 days. Who will complete the work first?
Z
X
Y
X,Y
Explanation:

Whole work will be done by X in 10*4 = 40 days.
Whole work will be done by Y in (40*100/40) = 100 days.
Whole work will be done by Z in (13*3) = 39 days
Therefore, Z will complete the work first.
1392.If A can complete a work in 10 days and B is 100 faster than A.
How much time B will take to complete the work?
20days
21days
22days
30days
Explanation:

Men at work earlier = 10
Men at work later = 5
Ration of workers = a : b = 2 : 1
10 men can perform the complete task = 10 days
5 men will perform the same task in = b : a time = 1 : 2 => 20 days.
1393.A group of men completes a work in 10 days, but five of them are
absent and so the rest do the work in 12 days. Find the original number of Men.
26
28
30
32
Explanation:

More men, less days.
= Total men at work =30
1394.A can do a certain work in 12 days. B is 60% more efficient than A. How many
days does B alone take to do the same job?
15/2days
12/7days
14/9days
None of these
Explanation:

Ratio of time taken by A & B = 160:100 = 8:5
Suppose B alone takes x days to do the job.
Then, 8:5::12:x
= > 8x = 5*12
= > x = 15/2 days.
1395.A can do a piece of work in 7 days of 9 hours each and B alone can do it in 6 days
of 7 hours each. How long will they take to do it working together 8 2/5 hours a day?
2days
3days
5days
11days
Explanation:

A can complete the work in (7*9) = 63 days
B can complete the work in (6*7) = 42 days
= > As one hours work = 1/63 and
Bs one hour work = 1/42
(A+B)s one hour work = 1/63+1/42 = 5/126
Therefore, Both can finish the work in 126/5 hours.
Number of days of 8 2/5 hours each = (126*5/(5*42)) = 3 days
1412.It was calculated that 75 men could complete a piece of work in 20 days.
When work was scheduled to commence, it was found necessary to send 25
men to another project. How much longer will it take to complete the work?
30
33
15
20
Explanation:

Before:
One day work = 1 / 20
One mans one day work = 1 / ( 20 * 75)
Now:
No. Of workers = 50
One day work = 50 * 1 / ( 20 * 75)
The total no. of days required to complete the work = (75 * 20) / 50 =
30
1415.A man was engaged on a job for 30 days on the condition that he would get a
wage of Rs. 10 for the day he works, but he have to pay a fine of Rs. 2 for
each day of his absence. If he gets Rs. 216 at the end, he was absent for work
for ... days
8 days
7 days
5 days
4 days
Explanation:

The equation portraying the given problem is:
10 * x – 2 * (30 – x) = 216 where x is the number of working days.
Solving this we get x = 23
Number of days he was absent was 7 (30-23) days.
3203.If 6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days while 26 men and 48 boys can do the same in 2 days, the time taken by 15 men and 20 boys in doing the same type of work will be:
4 days
5 days
6 days
7 days
Explanation:

Let 1 mans 1 days work = $ x $ and 1 boys 1 days work = $ y $.

Then, 6$ x $ + 8$ y $ =$ \dfrac{1}{10} $and 26$ x $ + 48$ y $ =$ \dfrac{1}{2} $.

Solving these two equations, we get : $ x $ =$ \dfrac{1}{100} $and $ y $ =$ \dfrac{1}{200} $.

[15 men + 20 boy]s 1 days work =$ \left(\dfrac{15}{100} +\dfrac{20}{200} \right) $=$ \dfrac{1}{4} $.

$\therefore$ 15 men and 20 boys can do the work in 4 days.

3204.10 women can complete a work in 7 days and 10 children take 14 days to complete the work. How many days will 5 women and 10 children take to complete the work?
3
5
7
Cannot be determined
Explanation:

1 womans 1 days work =$ \dfrac{1}{70} $

1 childs 1 days work =$ \dfrac{1}{140} $

$\left(5 women + 10 children\right)$s days work =$ \left(\dfrac{5}{70} +\dfrac{10}{140} \right) $=$ \left(\dfrac{1}{14} +\dfrac{1}{14} \right) $=$ \dfrac{1}{7} $

$\therefore$ 5 women and 10 children will complete the work in 7 days.

3206.A can finish a work in 18 days and B can do the same work in 15 days. B worked for 10 days and left the job. In how many days, A alone can finish the remaining work?
5
5$ \dfrac{1}{2} $
6
8
Explanation:

Bs 10 days work =$ \left(\dfrac{1}{15} \times 10\right) $=$ \dfrac{2}{3} $.

Remaining work =$ \left(1 -\dfrac{2}{3} \right) $=$ \dfrac{1}{3} $.

Now,$ \dfrac{1}{18} $work is done by A in 1 day.

$\therefore$ $ \dfrac{1}{3} $work is done by A in$ \left(18\times\dfrac{1}{3}\right) $= 6 days.
