Time and work Tricks for Competitive Exams Part – 7th

Time & Work more Questions with their tricky conceptual solutions continues...................

Type 2nd  :- Questions based One day work Concept:-
In these type of questions you just have to read the questions carefully to analyse the given data in the question and then calculate the required answer with the help of one day work concept or formula given in this post, which ever you feel more comfortable to solve the question.
Q12. A, B and C can do a work in 8 days, 16 days and 24 days respectively. They all began to do the same work together. A continuous with the work till the end of the work while C left the work before 2 days and B left the work 1 day before the work got completed. Calculate in how many days does the work got completed.

Solution:- First of all you should read this question carefully and analyse it carefully in such manner:-
Method 1st :- The work in this question is same means it is constant and always be considered as 1 (one) work only.
Let the work got completed in “x” days
worker “A” can do a piece of work in “8 days”

Therefore the one day work of worker “A” = (1/8) work
According to question “A” worked till the end therefore total work done by “A” = (x/8).
worker “B” can do a piece of work in “16 days”
Hence the one day work of worker “B” = (1/16) work
“B” worked only till 1 day before therefore total work done by “B” = {(x – 1)/16}.
worker “C” can do a piece of work in “24 days”
Hence the one day work of worker “C” = (1/24) work
“C” worked only till 2 days before therefore total work done by “C” = {(x – 2)/24}
Now we know that;
Total work done by “A” + Total work done by “B” + Total work done by “C” = 1 (Total work).
(x/8) + {(x – 1)/16} + {(x – 2)/24} = 1
Taking LCM (48) and Solving we get,
[6x + 3(x - 1) + 2(x - 2)]/48 =1
6x + 3x – 3 + 2x – 4 = 48
11x – 7 = 48
11x = 55
x = 5 days.
Hence the work got completed in 5 days.

Q13. A is thrice as fast as B and A can do a work in 60 days less than B. Find the number of days in which they can do the same work, working together?

Sol. The work in this question is same means it is constant and always be considered as 1 (one) work only.
Worker                  A                              B                                              
Efficiency             3x                               x
In these questions the frequencies are interchanged to get the number of days of respective workers. Therefore the number of days in which workers “A” and “B” can do the same worker in following number of days.
No. of days           x                               3x
According to the question worker “B” completes the same work in 60 days less.
Therefore, difference between the number of days taken by the workers = 60.
No. of days taken by “B” alone to do the same work – No. of days taken by “A” alone to do the same work = 60
3x – x = 60.
2x = 60.
x = 60/2 = 30 days.
Hence the worker “A” can do the same work in x days = 30 days.
The one day work of worker “A” = (1/30) work.
The worker “B” can do the same work in 3x days = 3 × 30 = 90 days.
The one day work of worker “B” = (1/90) work.
The one day work done by workers “A” and “B” together = (1/30) + (1/90)
= {(3 + 1)/90} work.
= (4/90) work.
Now number of days taken by workers “A” and “B” together to do the same work = total work / one day work of workers “A” and “B” together.
Number of days = {1/(4/90)} days.
Number of days = (45/2) days = 22.5 days.
OR
Number of days taken by workers “A” and “B” together to complete the work
= (D1 × D2)/( D1 + D2) = (30 × 90)/ (30 + 90)
= (30 × 90)/120 = (90/4) days.
= 22.5 days.
Hence the workers “A” and “B” can do the same work in 22.5 days.

(Note you may say that this is so long but dear this is the only way to explain the whole concept of the question to you now its upto you that how fast and short handedly you can solve these type of questions)                                                                        

The Various Questions related to this and other concept which are frequently asked in the examinations will be presented to your for self study on this blog soon, so keep visiting and sending your suggestions and requirements too to us through the forum.

More types of questions will be followed soon on this blog........................
