2. Four pipes A,B, C and D can
fill a cistern  in 20,25, 40 and 50 hours
respectively. The first pipe A was opened at 6:00 am, B at 8:00 am, C at 9:00

5. Pipe 1 can fill a tank in 12
hours and pipe 2 can fill in 15 hours, separately. A third pipe 3 can empty in

B) 10 hours

C) 6 2/3 hours

D) 5 hours

E) None

6. A group of boys decided to do
a piece of work in   4 days. But since,

boys were there at the beginning?

A) 240

B) 140

C) 150

D) 280

E) 400

7. After passing out from a
reputed fashion designing academy 5 friends A,B,C,D and E open a fashion store
of their own. If 5 of them can design 1800 dresses in 90 days working alternatively,
find the minimum possible number of dresses they can design in a single day by
working together?

A) 100

B) 20

C) 50

D) 4

E) None

8. In how many days can the  work be done by 8 men and 12 women?

i. 6 men and 5 women can do the
work in 6 days

ii. 3 men and 4 women can do the
work in 16 days

iii. 18 men and 15 women can do
the work in 5 days.

Which of the statements I, ii, iii
are required to answer the above question?

A) 2 only

B) All the three

C) Any one of the 3

D) Any 2 of the 3

E) None

1. Let x liter be the per day filling and v liter be the
capacity of the tank, then

90x + v = 40000 × 90    
—– (1)

60x + v= 32000 × 60    
—— (2)

Solving eq. (1) and (2), we get

x = 56000

Hence 56000 ltrs can be supplied everyday without
interruption.

2. Efficiency of P= 5%

Efficiency of Q= 4%

Efficiency of R= 2.5%

Efficiency of S= 2%

%

Thus, at 10 am pipe P,Q and R filled 30.5% of the cistern.

Now, the time taken by P,Q,R and S together to fill the
remaining capacity of the cistern

=69.5/13.5=139/27=5 Hours and 9 minutes(approx)

Therefore, total time =4 hrs + 5hrs 9 mins

= 9 hrs and 9 mins

It means cistern will be filled up at 3:09 pm

3. In ideal Case:

Time taken to fill the reservoir half by A and B =
50/41.66=6/5 hours

Time taken by A,B and C to fill rest half of the
reservoir=50/16.66 = 3 hours

Total time = 6/5  +3=
4 hours 12 min

In second case:

Time taken to fill 3/4 reservoir by A and B =75/41.66=9/5
hours

Time taken by A,B and C to fill rest 1/4 reservoir =
25/16.66=3/2 hours

Total time =9/5 + 3/2=   
18+15/10 =3 hours 18 min

Therefore , difference in time = 54 minutes

4. Efficiency of krishna = 100/20=5%

Efficiency of ram = 100/25=4%

Thus, in 10 days working together they will complete only
90% of the work.

[(5+4)×10] =90%

Hence, the remaining work will surely done by sudama, which
is 10%.

Thus, sudama will get 10% of Rs. 800, which is Rs.80

5. Pipe 1 eff= 8.33%

Pipe2=6.67%

Pipe3=5%

When pipe 3 was open, pipe 1 filled 16.66% capacity

Wen pipe 3 opened, pipe 2 filled  6.67% capacity

Therefore rest capcity filled by pipe3= 100-23.34=76.67%

Net eff of pipe 1, 2 and 3 = 10%

Hence 3 pipes will take= 76.66/10=7.66=7 2/3 hrs

 Total = 2 hrs= 7  2 /3 hrs= 9 
2/3 hours

6. Solve through options- 
lhs  140 x 4=
140+120+100+…+20)=560= rhs

7. Let  A,B,C,D,E  design a, b, c, d, e dresses per day
respectively

1/a+1/b+1/c+1/d+1/e=90/1800=1/20

When a=b=c=d=e we get min value 5×1/a=1/20=>a+b+c+d+e=100

8. Any of the 2 statements will give 2 equation in x and y
which can be solved simultaneously. For example I and ii give     6x+5y=1/6

And 3x+4y=1/16
