9. X and Y can do a work in 20 days and 25 days, respectively. How long will they take to complete the same work together?
a) 7.77 days
b) 8.88 days
c) 9.99 days
d) 11.11 days
View Answer
Explanation: Let the total work be 20 * 25 = 500 units.
The efficiency of x = 25 and the efficiency of y = 20
The total efficiency = 20 + 25 = 45
The time taken = 500 / 45 = 11.11 days
10. P can do a piece of work in 22 days. Q is twice as efficient as p. Find the time required by Q to complete 4 times the work done by P.
a) 12 days
b) 24 days
c) 44 days
d) 96 days
View Answer
Explanation: Let the efficiency of P be x.
The efficiency of Q = 2 * x = 2x
The total work = x * 22 = 22x
The work to be done by Q = 4 times the total work = 22x * 4 = 88x
The time taken by Q to complete the work = 88x / 2x = 44 days
