Time and Work

If 12 men and 15 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days. Then in how many days can 15 men and 25 boys do thrice of this work , it being given that 3 men can do as much work in 2 hours as 5 boys can do in 3 hours.

If 12 men and 15 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days. Then in how many days can 15 men and 25 boys do thrice of this work , it being given that 3 men can do as much work in 2 hours as 5 boys can do in 3 hours.

6 man hours=15 boy hours

12m+ 15b= 45b

15m+25b=62.5b

there is 39% increase in man power

work lod increased by 200%.

time required is 21.6 days

two men and a woman are entrusted with a task. the second man needs three hours more to cope with the job than the first man and the woman would need working together. the first man, working alone, would need as much time as the second man and the woman working together. the first man, working alone, would spend eight hours less than the double period of time the second man would spend working alone. how much time would the two men and the woman need to complete the task if they all worked together?

A takes twice the time taken by B & C together need to complete a certain amount of work, where as B takes 3 time tat of A & C taken together. If A increases his rate of doing the work by 50% and C by 80% then find how many days A,B,C together take to complete 4 times the original work tat B alone do tat work in 72 days to complete?

Pls share teh approach...

A contractor estimates that he will finish the road construction project in 100 days by employing 50 men.

Ahluwalia and Bimal together take 6 days to finish work. Bimal and Jalan take 10 days to finish it. what is the difference between no of days taken by ahluwalia and jalan when they worked alone to complete work

A,B,C,D can finish a work together in a certain no. of integral days. However they work two in a day and it is found that the work gets completed when (A,B), (B,C), (C,D) worked for respectively 5, 9 and 4 days or 7, 6 and 5 days. They couldn't have all together done the work in:

(1) 8 days

Please explain the approach for above question ?

The efficiency of work done by A gets reduced by 10% on each successive days he works consecutively while his efficiency spring backs to normal if he takes the rest for one day. For doing a work which takes a long time to complete he should take rest after working consecutively for every ....... to complete the work in minimum time ???????


Please explain the approach for above riddle !!

The options given are :
1) 1 day
2) 2 days
3) 4 days
4) 10 days

A and B can do a work alone exactly in 20 and 25 days respectively. However when they work together, they do 25% more work than is expected. If they work for a few days alone and for a few days together (both being integers only), then the work could not have been completed in exactly:

1) 10 days
2) 14 days
3) 16 days
4) 17 days
