Q:

A man can row against the current three fourth of a kilometer in 15 min and returns same distance in 10 min, then ratio of his speed to that of current?

A) 5:1 B) 3:1
C) 4:1 D) 2:1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5:1

Explanation:

Let the speed of the man in still water = p kmph

Speed of the current = s kmph

Now, according to the questions

(p + s) x 10 = (p - s) x 15

2p + 2s = 3p - 3s

=> p : s = 5 : 1

 

Hence, ratio of his speed to that of current = 5:1.

Q:

5 men and 3 boys can together cultivate a 23 acre field in 4 days and 3 men and 2 boys together can cultivate a 7 acre field in 2 days. How many boys will be needed together with 7 men, if they cultivate 45 acre of field in 6 days.

A) 6 B) 4
C) 2 D) 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2

Explanation:

Let work done by 1 man in i day be m

and Let work done by 1 boy in 1 day be b

From the given data,

4(5m + 3b) = 23

20m + 12b = 23....(1)

2(3m + 2b) = 7

6m + 4b = 7 ....(2)

By solving (1) & (2), we get

m = 1, b = 1/4

Let the number of required boys = n

6(7 1 + n x 1/4) = 45

=> n = 2.

Q:

P alone can do a piece of work in 24 days. The time taken by P to complete one-third of work is equal to time taken by Q to complete half of the work. How many days are required to complete by P and Q working together ?

A) 9 3/5 days B) 7 days
C) 6 3/7 days D) 8 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 9 3/5 days

Explanation:

Let the total work be 'W'

As per the given information,

P can complete the work 'W' in 24 days.

=> one day work of P = W/24

And also given that,

The time taken by P to complete one-third of work is equal to time taken by Q to complete half of the work

=> PW/3 = QW/2

=> P's

1 day =    W/24

   ?    =      W/3

=>  ?  = 24W/3W  = 8

=> QW/2 = 8 days

=> Q alone can complete the work W in 16 days

=> P + Q can complete the work in

1/24 + 1/16 = 5/48

=> 48/5 days = 9 3/5 days.

A) 2 yrs B) 12 yrs
C) 18 yrs D) 6 yrs
