Q3. A and B together can complete a work in 12 days. B and C together can complete the same work in 15 days. A and C together can complete it in 20 days. In how many days can A alone complete the work?

  1. A. 24 days
  2. B. 30 days
  3. C. 20 days
  4. D. 40 days
  5. E. None of these
Show answer

B. 30 days

A + B = 1/12, B + C = 1/15 and A + C = 1/20. Adding gives 2(A + B + C) = 1/12 + 1/15 + 1/20 = 1/5, so A + B + C = 1/10. Then A = 1/10 – 1/15 = 1/30, so A alone takes 30 days.

Quantitative Aptitude · Time and Work

Q4. A boat covers 48 km upstream in 6 hours and 60 km downstream in 4 hours. What is the speed of the stream (km/h)?

  1. A. 3
  2. B. 4
  3. C. 5
  4. D. 2.5
  5. E. None of these
Show answer

E. None of these

Upstream speed = 48/6 = 8 km/h and downstream = 60/4 = 15 km/h, so the stream flows at (15 – 8)/2 = 3.5 km/h, which is not listed.
