Total work is completed in 5 hrs

Part of work completed in 1 hr =1/5


TIME AND WORK

3. Ratio:
If A is thrice as good a workman as B, then:
Ratio of work done by A and B = 3: 1.
Ratio of times taken by A and B to finish a work = 1:
3.
EXERCISES
1) 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 15 man
Method -1:-
6x +8y =1/10
26x +48y =1/2
X=1/100
Y =1/200
15x +20b =15/100 +20 /200 =1/4
In 4 days
Method -2
(6m +8b )*10 = (26m +48b )*2
60m+ 80 b =52m +96b
8m =16b
m/b =2/1
m= 2b
(6m +8b)*10 = (15m +20b )*x
20b *10 = 50b x
200 =50x
X=4 days
2)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. How long will B
alone take to do it?
A=1/4
B+C =1/3
A+B+C =1/4 +1/3 =7/12
A+C =1/2
B+1/2 =7/12
B= 1/12
B =12 hrs
3)A can do a certain work in the same time in
which B and C together can do it. If A and B
together could do it in 10 days and C alone in
50 days, then B alone could do it in
A= B+C
A+B =1/10
C=1/50
A+B+C =1/10 + 1/50 =6/50
2A =6/50
A=3/50
3/ 50 +B =1/10
B =1/10 -3/50
B =1/25
B =25 days

4 ) A does 80% of a work in 20 days. He then calls in


B and they together finish the remaining work in 3
days. How long B alone would take to do the whole
work? 20 *100/80 =25
80 % ------20
100% -----25
A= 1/25
Rem work = 20% -3days
100 % -15 days
A+B =1/15
1/25 + B =1/15
B =2/75
B =75/2 days
5) A 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 them in 12 hours.
All the machines are started at 9 A.M. while machine
P is closed at 11 A.M. and the remaining two
machines complete work. Approximately at what
time will the work (to print one lakh books) be
finished?
P =1/8
Q=1/10
R =1/12
P+Q+R = 1/8 +1/10 + 1/12 =37 /120
For 2 hrs =74/120 =37/60
Rem =23/60
Q+R = 1/10 +1/12 =11/60
1-11/60
x- 23/60
x=23/60 )*(60/11) =23/11 = 2.09
2hrs + 0.09 hrs
2hrs +0.09*6 min
2hrs 0.54 min
2hrs 32.4 sec
Time 1:00:32sec
6 ) P can complete a work in 12 days working 8
hours a day. Q can complete the same work in 8
days working 10 hours a day. If both P and Q
work together, working 8 hours a day, in how
many days can they complete the work?
P =1/96
Q= 1/80
P+Q=1/96 + 1/80 =11/480
For 8 hrs = 11*8/480 =11/60
60/11 days.
7) 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?
A= 1/18
B=1/15
B =10/15
Rem =5/15 =1/3
1 ----1/18
x------1/3
x=6

8 ) 4 men and 6 women can complete a work in 8


days, while 3 men and 7 women can complete it in 10
days. In how many days will 10 women complete it?
9) A and B can together finish a work 30 days. They
worked together for 20 days and then B left. After
another 20 days, A finished the remaining work. In
how many days A alone can finish the work?
A +B =30
A+B =1/30
For 20 days =20/30
Rem =10/30
10 / 30 ----A
A = 1/3 -20
1-60 days
