Question : A and B together can do a job in 15 days and A alone could do the same job in 20 days. How many days would B take to do half the job if he worked alone?

Option 1: 60

Option 2: 30

Option 3: 45

Option 4: 40

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 30


Solution : A's job in one day can be expressed as $\frac{1}{20}$ of the total job.
Assume that B completed $\frac{1}{y}$ of the entire job in a single day.
According to the question,
$\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{y}=\frac{1}{15}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{y}=\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{20}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{y}=\frac{4-3}{60}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{y}=\frac{1}{60}$
⇒ $y=60$
So, B will take 60

Question : A covered a distance of 240 km at a certain speed. Had his speed been 8 km/hr less, then the time taken would have been one hour more for covering the same distance. How much time (in hours) will he take to cover a distance of 480 km at his original speed?

Option 1: 9

Option 2: 11

Option 3: 10

Option 4: 8

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10


Solution : Let the original speed be S and the original time T.
Then, according to the question
⇒ (S – 8) × (T + 1) = 240  [Speed × Time = Distance]
Also, T = $\frac{240}{S}$
Now, (S – 8)×($\frac{240}{S}$ + 1) = 240
⇒ 240S
