D. Comparative Efficiency and Comparative Time

Different efficiencies working together D. Comparative Efficiency and Comparative Time
Q.1. A is twice as good work man as B and takes 8 days less to do a work than B takes. In how many days A and B
together can do the work?
Q.2. A is 20% more efficient than B, so takes 5 days less than B to complete a work. C is 40% less efficient than A.
Find the total time taken by A, B and C to complete the work working together.
Q.3. A takes 5 days less than B and 10 days more than C to complete a work. What could be the ratio of their
efficiencies?
A.3:5:10 B. 6:5:10
C. 12:4:15 D. None of these

Different Types of Questions
Man-Days extended to output:

25 men working 8 hours a day produce 200 toys in 10 days. In how many days will 1000
toys be produced by 100 men, if they work 10 hours a day?
Input or Effort ∝ Output
(Input)1 (Output)1
So, =
(Input)2 (Output)2
25 × 8 × 10 200
=
100 × 10 × d 1000
Solving: we get d = 10

2/3rd of the original work if they work 8 hrs. each day?

A. 56 men
B. 65 men
C. 46 men
D. None of these
Ex 7. A contract is to be completed in 50 days and 105 men were set to work, each working 8
