4. 5 men = 10 women
9. Number of bolts produced by type A in 10 days
∴ 1 man = 2 women
∴ 1 man + 1 woman = 3 women. 10

10 women can complete the job in 10 days. 30
∴ job (in woman days) = (10) (10) = 100 Type B produces 1000 bolts in 10 days.
Required time (in days) = time in which 3 women can ⇒ 3000 bolts are produced in 30 days by type B.

Rajan alone can complete the work in 72 days. Since the Q and R started and worked for 3 days, the work
Raman and Rajan complete half the work in 18 days. completed = (3 + 2) 3 = 15 units.
Amount of work done by them together in one day = (1/36)th. When P joined them. The remaining work = 165 units.

Choice (2)
(8 x ) × (12 x )
x units of work in = 4.8x days
20 x 19. Let the times taken by the pipes X, Y and Z to fill the tank
be x, y and z (in hours) respectively.
Given that 4.8x = 36 ⇒ x = 7.5 Given that, 1/x + 1/y = 1/9 --- (1)
∴ To do x units of work, Pan working alone, takes 1/y + 1/z = 1/12 --- (2)
(12) (7.5) = 90 days. 1/z + 1/x = 1/16 --- (3)
Choice (2) (2) − (3) ⇒ 1/y − 1/x = 1/12 − 1/18
