Rahul and Sham together can complete a task in 35 days, but Rahul alone can complete same work in 60 days. Calculate in how many days Sham can complete this work ?

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

In this type of question, where we have one person work and together work done. Then we can easily get the other person work just by subtracting them. As,

Son's one day work =
\begin{aligned}
\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{5} \right) \\
=\left(\frac{5-3}{15} \right) \\
= \frac{2}{15}
\end{aligned}

So son will do whole work in 15/2 days
which is =

\begin{aligned} 7\frac{1}{2}days \end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

To calculate the answer we need to get 1 man per day work and 1 woman per day work.

Let 1 man 1 day work =x
and 1 woman 1 days work = y.
=> 6x+5y = 1/6
and 3x+4y = 1/10
On solving, we get x = 1/54 and y = 1/90

(9 men + 15 women)'s 1 days work =
(9/54) + (15/90) = 1/3

9 men and 15 women will finish the work in 3 days

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

In this type of questions, first we need to calculate 1 hours work, then their collective work as,

A's 1 hour work is 1/8
B's 1 hour work is 1/10

(A+B)'s 1 hour work = 1/8 + 1/10
= 9/40

So both will finish the work in 40/9 hours
= \begin{aligned} 4\frac{4}{9} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Please note in this question, we need to answer part of work for a day rather than complete work. It was worth mentioning here because many do mistake at this point in hurry to solve the question

So lets solve now,
A's 1 day work = 1/18
B's 1 day work = 1/9 [because B take half time than A]

(A+B)'s one day work =

\begin{aligned}
\left(\frac{1}{18}+\frac{1}{9} \right) \\
=\left(\frac{1+2}{18} \right) \\
= \frac{1}{6}
\end{aligned}

So in one day 1/6 work will be done.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Do not be confused, Take this question same as that of work done question's. Like work done by 1st puncture in 1 minute and by second in 1 minute.
Lets Solve it:

1 minute work done by both the punctures =
\begin{aligned}
\left(\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{6} \right) \\
=\left(\frac{5}{18} \right) \\
\end{aligned}

So both punctures will make the type flat in
\begin{aligned}
\left(\frac{18}{5} \right)mins \\
= 3\frac{3}{5} mins
\end{aligned}
