3. Given that
6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days
26 men and 48 boys can do the same in 2 days
As the work done is equal,
10(6M + 8B) = 2(26M + 48B)
60M + 80B = 52M + 96B
=> M = 2B
=> B = M/2 ……(1)
Now Put (1) in 15M + 20B
=> 15M + 10M = 25M
Now, 6M + 8B in 10 days
=> (6M + 4M) 10 = 100M
Then D(25M) = 100M
=> D = 4 days.
⇒ x = 16 days
Hence, Tanya takes 16 days to complete the work
10. A and B can complete a work in 15 days and 10 days respectively.
=> The amount of work done by them together in 1 day = 1/15 + 1/10 = 1/6
Given, they worked together for 2 days.
=> The amount of work done by them together = 2*(1/6) = 1/3
The amount of work to be completed by A alone = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3
The number of days taken by A alone to complete the remaining work = (2/3)/(1/15) = 30/3
= 10
=> The whole work was completed in (2+10) i.e., 12 days.
11. If A works twice as fast as B then he do the work in half the time B take which is 12 days,
so A can complete the work in 6 days.
In one day B can do 1/12 of the work
Therefore in one day A can do 1/6 of the work so together in one day they can do=
1/12+1/6=3/12=1/4
Thus, both can together complete the work in 4 days
15. This question is equivalent to saying A & B work together for 16 days completing 16/30
part of work.
Remaining 14/30 part of work is completed by B alone in = 44 - 16 = 28 days.
=> B alone can complete work in 28 x 30/14 = 60 days.
