A can finish a work in 18 days and B can do same work in half the time taken by A. then working together, what part of same work they can finish in a day

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Work done by A in 20 days = 80/100 = 8/10 = 4/5

Work done by A in 1 day = (4/5) / 20 = 4/100 = 1/25 --- (1)

Work done by A and B in 3 days = 20/100 = 1/5 (Because remaining 20% is done in 3 days by A and B)

Work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/15 ---(2)

Work done by B in 1 day = 1/15 – 1/25 = 2/75

=> B can complete the work in 75/2 days = 37 (1/2) days

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1:3
Means B will take 3 times which A will do in 1 time

If difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days
If difference of time is 10 days, B takes (3/2) * 10 =15 days

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

A+B 1 day work = 1/8
B+C 1 day work = 1/12
A+B+C 1 day work = 1/6

We can get A work by (A+B+C)-(B+C)
And C by (A+B+C)-(A+B)

So A 1 day work =
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{6}- \frac{1}{12} \\
= \frac{1}{12}
\end{aligned}

Similarly C 1 day work =
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{6}- \frac{1}{8} \\
= \frac{4-3}{24} \\
= \frac{1}{24}
\end{aligned}

So A and C 1 day work =

\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{24} \\
= \frac{3}{24} \\
= \frac{1}{8}
\end{aligned}

So A and C can together do this work in 8 days

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Firstly we will find 1 day work of both A and B, then by adding we can get collective days for them,
So,
A's 1 day work = 1/10
B's 1 day work = 1/15

(A+B)'s 1 day work =
\begin{aligned}
\left(\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15} \right) \\
=\left(\frac{3+2}{30} \right) \\
= \frac{1}{6}
\end{aligned}

So together they can complete work in 6 days.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let 1 man's 1 day work = x
and 1 woman's 1 days work = y.
Then, 4x + 6y = 1/8
and 3x+7y = 1/10
solving, we get y = 1/400 [means work done by a woman in 1 day]

10 women 1 day work = 10/400 = 1/40

10 women will finish the work in 40 days
