Q31.

A can complete a workpiece in 12 days. B requires 18 days to finish the same workpiece, whereas C can do it in 24 days. All three of them started working on the same workpiece, but due to some reason, C left work after working for 3 days with A and B. What should be the overall time taken to complete this workpiece ?

1)	5-3/10 days	2)	6-7/10 days
3)	6-3/10 days	4)	7-3/10 days
5)	None of these

Answer : 6-3/10 days
Explanation : A,B and C altogether work for 3 days = 3 (1/12+1/18+1/24) = 13/24 parts

So, remaining (1-13/24) = 11/24 parts

B and C can do in 1 day (1/12+1/18) = 5/36 parts

Now, B & C can do this in (11/24 )/(5/36) = 33/10 days = 3-3/10 days

So, overall time taken to complete this workpiece = 6-3/10 days

Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions.
In a bag X there are some identical green balls and rest other are blue balls (blue balls greater
than the green balls).
(i) Probability of getting 1 green and 1 blue ball without replacement is 40/87.
(ii) Probability of getting both green is A.
(iii) If there is another bag (Y) in which some blue balls and rest others are green.
(iv) If a number of blue balls taken out from Y is 4 more than the green balls taken out from bag Y and added to bag X. Then the probability of getting both green from bag X is 13/123.

Find the number of blue balls taken out from bag Y.

1)	2	2)	4
3)	5	4)	6

Answer : 8
Explanation :

Bag X:

Two balls taken from bag x, total probability,

According to the question,

40/87 = (Probability of getting 1st green and second blue * Probability of getting 1st blue and second green)

Take green = 10 and blue = 20

According to the question,

40/87 = 10 * 20 * 2/(30 * 29)

40/87 = 40/87

Let us take number of green balls taken out from bag Y be a

Number of blue balls taken out from bag Y = a + 4

According to the question,

(10 + a)C₂/(30 + 2a + 4)C₂ = 13/123

(10 + a) * (9 + a)/[(34 + 2a) * (33 + 2a)] = 13/123

Simplify the equation we get, a = 4

Number of blue balls taken out from bag Y = a + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8

Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the given
questions.
In a bag X there are some identical green balls and rest other are blue balls (blue balls greater
than the green balls).
(i) Probability of getting 1 green and 1 blue ball without replacement is 40/87.
(ii) Probability of getting both green is A.
(iii) If there is another bag (Y) in which some blue balls and rest others are green.
(iv) If a number of blue balls taken out from Y is 4 more than the green balls taken out from
bag Y and added to bag X. Then the probability of getting both green from bag X is 13/123.

What should be total number of balls in bag X ?

1)	10	2)	20
3)	29	4)	30

Answer : 30
Explanation :

Bag X:

Two balls taken from bag x, total probability,

According to the question,

40/87 = (Probability of getting 1st green and second blue * Probability of getting 1st blue and

second green)

Take green = 10 and blue = 20

According to the question,

40/87 = 10 * 20 * 2/(30 * 29)

40/87 = 40/87

This satisfies the given condition.

So, total number balls in box X should be 30.

What should be the value of A ?

1)	2/29	2)	3/29
3)	4/29	4)	5/29

Answer : 3/29
Explanation :

Bag X:

Two balls taken from bag x, total probability,

According to the question,

40/87 = (Probability of getting 1st green and second blue * Probability of getting 1st blue and second green)

Take green = 10 and blue = 20

According to the question,

40/87 = 10 * 20 * 2/(30 * 29) or 40/87 = 40/87

This satisfies the given condition.

Probability of both green ball (A) = 10C2/30C2

= (10 * 9)/(29 * 30) = 3/29

Q35.	Direction: Data below represent the number of people required for various projects to be completed in various days: Project Situation 1 Situation 2 Number of workers Days required Number of workers Days required A X 88 X+8 66 B Y Y-1 Y+6 Y-6 C Z² 75 M² 108

1)	60 days	2)	80 days
3)	90 days	4)	120 days
5)	None of these

Answer : 90 days
Explanation : Total workers = 0.5Z * 2 M = 0.5 * (1.2 M) * 2 M = 1.2 M2 Total work = M2 * 108 = 1.2 M2 * No of days = > No of days = (M2 * 108) / (1.2 M2 ) = 90 days

B Y Y-1 Y+6 Y-6
C Z² 75 M² 108

If 64 people were working for Project A, how many days did it take to complete the work?

1)	33 days	2)	22 days
3)	36 days	4)	44 days
5)	None of the

Answer : 33 days
Explanation :

Solutions:

Project A:

X * 88 = (X + 8) * 66

= > 88X = 66X + 8 * 66 = > 22X = 8 * 66 = > X = 24

Project B:

Y * (Y - 1) = (Y + 6) * (Y - 6)

Y² � Y = Y² � 6²

= > Y = 36

Project C:

Z² * 75 = M² * 108

= > Z² / M² = 108/75

= > Z² / M² = 36/25

= > Z / M = 6/5

= > Z = 6/5 * M

= > Z = 1.2 M

M₁ * D₁ = M₂ * D₂

24 * 88 = 64 * D2

= > D₂ = (24 * 88)/64

= > D₂ = 33 days

Q38.

Direction: Each question below is followed by three statements I,II and III. You have to determine whether the data given in the statement/statements is sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose the best possible answer.

What is the speed of boat in still water ?
I. The boat can cover 25 km downstream distance in 5 hours.
II. Speed of the stream us two-third of the speed of boat in still water.
III. The boat can cover 25 km upstream distance in 10 hours.

1)	I and II together	2)	Only II
3)	I and II together	4)	I and either II or III
5)	Any two statements together.

Answer : Any two statements together.
Explanation : Explanations : Let speed of boat in sill water be x kmph and velocity of stream be y kmph respectively.

So, from I , we get x+y = 5kmph

From II, it given y = 2x/3 , we get x = 3kmph and y = 2kmph

From III, w get, x - y = 2.5 kmph

Therefore, to find out the speed of the boat any two statements together is sufficient.
