Q8: C’s 1 day work is 1/8 NOT 1/18. The 3 payment calculations are the ones to do but their results all say 1610 instead of the values: 560, 420, and 630 for A, B, and C respectively.
Thanks for bringing this to my notice. I have corrected the typing error. This is what i call, power of democratization.
Q9: A, B, and C working together will take 20 days NOT 5 days. The answer to the 2nd part of the question (working alone) is missing. A, B, and C will take 120, 40, and 60 days working alone (respectively).
That’s 2 answers in a row wrong – I’m not going to do any more. I suggest anyone reading this moves to a page with correct answers.
Corrected the typing error. Thanks for bringing this up.
thanks
Very easy to understand
Answer of 13 is wrong: See the : 3days before completion of work- which means if A+B both’s worked together the work would have been completed by next 3 days. so when B works alone, the rest of work will take more time: Starting from backward
(A+B) working in 1 day: 5/42 work
in 3 days A+B could have done=(5/42) x 3= 5/14 work which was done by B.
B will finish the work=(5/14) x (21/1)=15/2…………………………………………(a)
Initial A+B work: 9/14 works which would take= (42/5) x (9/14)=27/5 …………………….(b)
Total days taken=(A+B’s days)+ B’s days =(15/2)+(27/5)=129/10
I checked it… seems correct to me. Last three days only B is working.
yes i agrre with mr patra….
I checked and it is right. All it says is that A worked for 3 days in the end alone and the rest of the time A+B worked together. hence the total days is 10 1/2 days. please check once again.
check your solution to Q13. It seems to be incorrect. Please comment on it
