Useful Formulae of Time and Work :
1. If P1 persons working H1 a day can complete W1 units of work in D1 days, and P2 persons working for H2 a day can complete W2 units of work in D2 days then
(P1.H1.D1) / W1 = (P2. H2. D2) / W2
2. If the amount of work is not mentioned in either of the two cases then it should be treated as same in both the cases then
P1. D1. H1 = P2. D2. H2
3. Even if the working hours not mentioned in both the cases then H1 & H2 can be dropped
=> P1. D1 = P2. D2
4. A can do a work in X days. If B is K times as efficient as A then B can do the work in X/K days. Both A and B together can do the work in ((X / (K + 1)) days
Now lets work with some practice problems. Try to solve these on your own and check with the given answers. You will get detailed solutions with explanations soon.

ReplyDeleteDoubt in Question No. 6. Kindly guide me in this ques Admin. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteIs this for ibps clerk or po?
ReplyDeleteAnyone explain 3rd question plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
ReplyDeletewhere are the detailed solutions ?
ReplyDeletegr8 qustns
ReplyDelete150 men worked for 20 days
ReplyDeleteso unit of work done is 150*20 =3000
another 80 men joined after 20 days and the work finished in 50 days means 230 men worked for 30 days
so work done by 230 men 230*30=6900
so total unit. of work is 6900+3000=9900
so if the additional workers were not employed the work would finish in 9900/150=66
66-50=16 days behind schedule
given 3w=2m
ReplyDelete1w=2/3m
21w=21*2/3
=14m
now applying the formulaM1D1H1=M2D2H2
15*21*8=14*6*D
D=30 days
150 men worked for 20 days 150*20=3000 unit
ReplyDeleteanother 80 men added means 230 men worked for 30 days 230*30=6900
total 6900+3000=9900 unit if additional men not joined
150 men would take 9900/150=66 days 66-50 = 16 days behind
ss,,,u r crct :)
ReplyDeletePut the solution....
ReplyDeletecorrect
ReplyDelete150 men did 150*20=3000 unit work
ReplyDelete230 men did 230*30=6900 unit
total 9900 unit work
150 men would hv done the work in 9900/150=66 days
66-50 =16 behind

ReplyDeletethnx mam
ReplyDeletePlz sumone explain 7,8,10 ques no...
ReplyDelete2 MEN OR 3 WOMEN =4 DAYS
ReplyDeleteTHEY WORK 1 MEN AND 1 WOMEN
SO TAKE AS 1/2 FOR MEN AND 1/3 FOR WOMEN
TAKING LCM YOU GET 5/6 AND TAKE RECIPROCAL 6/5*4=ANS 24/5 DAYS
1m=3w=5b
ReplyDelete1w=1/3m
1b=1/5m
1m+1b+1w
=1+1/3+1/5=23/15 m
1 man does in 46 days
23/15 man ll do in 46/23/15=30 days
1 w does in 18 days
ReplyDeletein 1 day 1/18 part
3 w in1 day ll do 1/6 part
1 c does in 24 days
in 1 day 1/24 part
4 c in 1 day 1/6 part
total work done by c and w =1/6+1/6=2/6 =1/3 part
remauning work 1-1/3=2/3
applying M1D1H1/W1=M2D2H2/W2
1*12/1=M*1/2/3=8 DAYS
2nd ques wrong ans given,ans is 14
ReplyDelete7men 12 days work is 84 then double d work is 168 and 168 work done in 8 days so 168/8 is 21 now 7 men already thr so 14 more required for d task.....do reply whether um right or wrong if wrong plz give explaination....thaks.....
Thankss ...jack
ReplyDeleteQ10 and Q12....anyone...please post the solution..
ReplyDeleteTY in advance
correct. becoz total 18 days and 18-12=6
ReplyDeleteu r right about it but what about 2nd quess it is 14 i think ....
ReplyDelete2men take 6 days it means 1 man take 12 days for d same task similarly 1 women take 18 days & 1child take 24 days lcm of 12:18:24 is 72 now divide
ReplyDeletemen 72/12 - 6
women 72/18 - 4
children 72/24 - 3
total work is to do now is 72 the lcm
3women × 4 + 4 children ×3
12 +12 =24 work done in one day
remaining work 72-24 =48
48/6 men case so ans is 8....
hey jack can u explain question no 10
ReplyDeletei hv explained below chk kimi kaur comment
ReplyDeleteques 12 please.
ReplyDeleteans 12 days will be correct if they calculated from 7th day onwards
ReplyDeletethey r doing work with 150 men for 20 days and 230 men for 30 days .if we employ 150 for 30 days including 80 men it will be 46 days, excluding 80 men (ie) 46-30= 16 more days will be required. do u understand?
