Some Important tips on Time and Work
1. If A can do a piece of work in n days, then As 1 day work
= 1/n
2. If As 1 days work = 1/n, then A can finish the work in n
days.
Example: If A can do a piece of work in 4 days,then As 1 days
work = 1/4. If As 1 days work = 1/5, then A can finish the
work in 5 days
3. If A is thrice as good workman as B,then: Ratio of work
done by A and B = 3:1. Ratio of time taken by A and B to finish
a work = 1:3
4. Definition of Variation: The change in two different
variables follow some definite rule. It said that the two variables
vary directly or inversely. Its notation is X/Y = k, where k is
called constant. This variation is called direct variation. XY = k.
This variation is called inverse variation.
5. Some Pairs of Variables:
i. Number of workers and their wages. If the number of workers
increases, their total wages increase. If the number of days
reduced, there will be less work. If the number of days is
increased, there will be more work. Therefore, here we have
direct proportion or direct variation.
ii. Number workers and days required to do a certain work is an
example of inverse variation. If more men are employed, they
will require fewer days and if there are less number of workers,
more days are required.
iii. There is an inverse proportion between the daily hours of a
work and the days required. If the number of hours is increased,
