a) 30 days
b) 33 days
c) 36 days
d) 39 days
View Answer
Explanation: The total amount of work done = 25 * 20 = 500 units
The number of men available = 15
The time taken = 500 / 15 = 33.33 days
2. 15 men can do a piece of work in 17 days, working 7.5 hours daily. Find the time in which 11 men can do the same work, working 2.1 hours daily.
a) 85 days
b) 86 days
c) 87 days
d) 88 days
View Answer
Explanation: The total amount of work done = 15 * 18 * 7.5 = 2025 units
The number of men available = 11
The daily working hours = 2.1 hour
Number of days taken = 2025 / (11 * 2.1) = 87.66 days
3. 24 men can complete 35% of the work in 20 days, working 2.5 hours daily. Find the number of days in which 10 men can do the remaining work, working 9 hours daily.
a) 27.46 days
b) 24.76 days
c) 26.74 days
d) 22.77 days
View Answer
Explanation: The total work done = 35% of the total work
The work remaining = 65% of the total work
The total work completed = 24 * 20 * 2.5 = 1200 units
1200 units is 35% of the work
65% of the work = 1200 / 35 * 65 = 2228.57 units
The days to complete the work:
2228.57 / (10 * 9) = 24.76 days
4. 25 men can do a piece of work in 19 days. Find the time required by 33 men to do thrice the work.

c) 43 days
d) 44 days
View Answer
Explanation: the total work done = 25 * 19 = 475 units of work
The new work = thrice the previous work = 475 * 3 = 1425 units
The number of days required by 33 men to do the work = 1425 / 33 = 43.181 days
