Solutions




















S11. Ans.(d)
Sol. Mohan’s 20 days work = Bhim’s 30 days work
⇒ entire work can be finished by Bhim in 25×30/20= 37.5 days
Bhim left after 15 days
⇒ Work of 22.5 days was remaining
Mohan can complete it in 30/20×22.5 = 15 days

(12-13): 
Let, fencing the entire will be equivalent to 108 units of work.
⇒ Rakesh does 9 units per hour, Shiv does 86 units per hour and Ramu does 4 units per hour.
In 2 hrs (9 + 6 + 4) × 2 = 38 units were done.
Reaming = 70 units
In the last 5 hrs, Shiv has done = 5 × 6 = 30 units
The other 40 units were done by Shiv and Vijay together in


S12. Ans.(a)
Sol. Total number of hrs taken = 2 + 5 + 4 = 11 hrs.

S13. Ans.(a)
Sol. The pair which does the work in least time, will be able to fence the wall quicker than any other pair
