X can do 1/4 of a work in 10 days, Y can do 40% of the work in 40 days and Z can do 1/3 of the work in 13 days. Who will complete the work first ?

X can do 1/4 of a work in 10 days, Y can do 40% of the work in 40 days and Z can do 1/3 of the work in 13 days. Who will complete the work first ?

A. y
B. z
C. x
D. X and Z both












Answer: Option B

Explanation:
x can do 1/4 of work in = 10 days
so x can do whole work in = (10 x 4) = 40 days.

Y can do (40% or 40/100)of work in = 40 days
so Whole work can be done by Y = (40x100/40)= 100 days.

Z can do 1/3 of work in = 13 days
Whole work will be done by Z in (13 x 3) = 39 days.

so compare x , y ,z work compare = y > x > z
so Z can complete the work first.

Find the number of perfect squares in the given series 2013, 2020, 2027,.

Find the number of perfect squares in the given series 2013, 2020, 2027,................, 2300   (Hint 44^2=1936) a. 1   b. 2    c. 3   d. Can’t be determined Answer: a Explanation: The given series is an AP with common difference of 7. So the terms in the above series are in the form of 2013 + 7k.  We have to find the perfect squares in this format in the given series. Given that 44^2 = 1936. Shortcut: To find the next perfect square, add 45th odd number to 44^2. So 45^2 = 1936 + (2 x 45 -1) = 2025 46^2 = 2025 + (2 x 46 - 1) = 2116 47^2 = 2116 + (2 x 47 - 1) = 2209 Now subtract 2013 from the above numbers and divide by 7. Only 2209 is in the format of 2013 + 7k.  One number satisfies.

It takes 10 days for digging a trench of 100 m long, 50 m broad and 10 m deep. What length of trench, 25 m broad and 15 m deep can be dug in 30 days ?

 It takes 10 days for digging a trench of 100 m long, 50 m broad and 10 m deep.  What length of trench, 25 m broad and 15 m deep can be dug in 30 days ?       a) 400 m          b) 200 m          c) 100 m          d) 89m Expl : More days, more length (Direct)       Less breadth, more length (Indirect)       More depth, less length (Indirect       Days      10 : 30;       Breadth  25 : 50;                  : : 100 : x       Depth    15 : 10;                     :. 10 * 25* 15 * x = 30 *50 * 10 *100             x= (30*50*10*100)/10*25*15 = 400      So the required length = 400m
