For PSGKSR
10 people working 8 hours a day
complete a work in 24 days.
How many persons will be
required to complete the work in
16 days working 10 hours a day?

= 10 * 8/10* 24/16
=12 persons

For PSGKSR
 QUANTITATIVE - WORK
MDW FORMULA
If M1 persons can do W1 works in D1 days
and M2 persons can do W2 work in D2 days,
then we have M1D1W2 = M2D2W1

If we include the working hours say T1 and

T2 for the two groups, then the relationship is
M1D1 T1 W2 = M2D2 T2W1

A, B and C can do a piece of work in 11 days, 20 days and 55 days
respectively, working alone.
How soon can the work be done if A is assisted by B and C on
alternate days?
a) 7 days b) 8 days c) 9 days d) 10 days. 1 1 31
(A + B)s 1 days work = 11 20 220
1 1 6

(A + C)s 1 days work = 11 55 55
31 6 55 1

Work done in 2 days = 220 55 220 4

Therefore, Whole work will be done in 4 x 2 = 8 days.

If A is thrice as good a workman as
B, then
Ratio of work done by A and B =
3:1 and
Ratio of time taken by A and B to
finish a work = 1:3

 Alternate days

P can complete a piece of work, working alone

in 3 days. Q can complete the work working
alone in 5 days. If they work on alternative
days, the work would be completed in the
1)Least number of days if P starts the work.
2)Least number of days if Q starts the work.
3)In the same time irrespective of who starts
the work. For PSGKSR
 Alternate days

For PSGKSR
 Alternate days

For PSGKSR
 10men+6boys=20days,
12m+4boys=18days, in what time
will 8m+8b do the work?
12m+4b=1/18
10m+6b=1/20
solving it we get: m=240, b=720
thus 8men + 8boys will do it in 22.5 days

For PSGKSR
 3300 men have provision for 32 days if 850
gram per head. After 7 days X more persons
came and now the provision will last for 8days
less if given 825 gm per head. What is X?

Total = 3300*32*.85=89760
7 days=19635,left= 70125=
70125/(17*.825)=5000
X=1700 ans.
For PSGKSR
A can do in 12 and B in 15 days,
if they work together, how many
days are required?
1/12+1/15 = 27/180
reverse it = 6.67 days.

For PSGKSR
A+B can do a work in 10 days, A
can do it in 15 days. In how many
days B alone can do the work?
1/10 1/15
= 5/150
=1/30 or 30 days are required by B

For PSGKSR
A and B can do a job in X days. A
alone take 8 days more than X and
B can take 18 days more than X,
what is X?
Formula = sqrt (8 *18)
= 12 Answer

For PSGKSR
A works twice as fast as B. If B
can do it in 12 days, how many
days are required by A+B?
1/6 +1/12 =
= 4 days

For PSGKSR
A is thrice as good as B and can
do a work in 60 days less than B.
In how many days can they do it
together?
1/30 + 1/90 = 4/90
= 22.5 days.

For PSGKSR
 A can do it in 25 days, B in 20
days. They work together for 5
days. A leaves. How much time
more is required?
Work done by A = 5/25 = 1/5
B has to do 4/5 , 20*4/5 =16
B has worked for 5 days, so 11 more days are
required.

For PSGKSR
A moves @ 90 KM per hour from
X to Y. Returns from Y to X @ 60
KM per hour. He agains goes to Y
@ 30 KM per hour. What is his
average speed?
1/3(1/90+1/60+1/30)
=49
or assume distance between X and Y 180, total
time = 2+3+6 = 540/11 = 49
For PSGKSR
 X travels from A to B and Y start
from B to A. X travels at 75 km
per hour. They finish the
remaining journey after cross over
in 2.66 and 3 hours respectively.
What is the speed of Y?
Ratio of speed = opposite ratio of sq. Root of
remaining time
75:X = sqrt(3): Sqrt(2.66)
X = (75 * 1.63) / 1.73) = 70 km
For PSGKSR
 Theif run 50 km from police.
Speed of theif is 60 km, what
should be the minimum speed of
police to catch them before next
120 KM?

=(50)/(X-60)=2
2X-120=50
X=170 or X = 85 Ans.
