AD Labour Welfare-17/Asst AH-18/Asst PESSI LHRD-21
A and B complete the job in = 15 days
One day’s work of A+B = 1/15
B complete the job in = 20 days
One day’s work of B = 1/20
Then, A’s one day’s work
= 1/15 – 1/20
= 4-3 / 60
= 1/60
Thus, A can complete the job in = 60 days
- A can do a piece of work in 4 hours. B and C together can do it in 3 hours, while A and C together can do it in 2 hours. B alone can do in:
A. 8 hours
B. 10 hours
C. 12 hours
D. 14 hours
Asst S&GAD-20
A’s 1 hour’s work = 1/4
(B+C)’s 1 hour’s work = 1/3
(A+C)’s 1 hour’s work = 1/2
∴ C’s 1 hour’s work = 1/2 – 1/4 = 1/4
B’s 1 hour’s work = 1/3 – 1/4
= 4-3 / 12
= 1/12
Hence, B will complete the whole work in = 60 hours

Time taken by 10 water pumps to make the water tank empty = y minutes
12 x 20 = 10 x y

Asst S&GAD-20
Fort had provision of food for 150 men for 45 days
After 10 days men left = 25
Remaining men in the fort = 150 – 25 = 125
Food left for the 125 men = x days
125 × y = 150 × 35
125y = 5250
y = 5250 ÷ 125
y = 42 days
