Chapter - 12

Time and Work

Three main factors of Time and Work

There is a definite relationship between Time and Work. In this concept, there are only three factors:
 Time taken to complete a certain job
 Unit of work done
 Number of persons doing the job

There is a mental relationship between these three, discussed as follows:

Work done (W) = Number of days (Time taken) (T or D) × Number of men (M)
W=D×M

Some basic points

More number of men can do more work i.e. both are directly proportional
More number of men take less time to complete certain job i.e. both are inversely proportional
By summarizing, we get
= ×
Let us start solving some examples:

Example 1: 10 men can cut 8 trees in 16 days. In how many days can 6 men cut 10 trees?
Solution: This is a very simple example. You are given:
W1 = 8
W2 = 10
M1 = 10
M2 = 6
D1 = 16
D2 = ?

Using formula,
= ×
= ×
⇒D2 = 33.3

Concept of efficiency
This means, "How much work one person can do in one day (expressed in percentage)"
For example: A person can do a job in 2 days
⇒ He can do 50% work in one day
Therefore, his efficiency will be 50%
Just a 2-step concept
This concept involves two steps to calculate efficiency:

 Convert into fraction i.e. per day work

 Multiply with 100 i.e. convert into percentage

Try the following example first, then re-read above points

Example 2: If a person can complete his work in 5days. What will be his efficiency?
Solution: Number of days a person take to complete his work = 5
⇒ He is doing 1/5 th work per day (converted into fraction)
Convert it into percentage:
100/5 = 20%
Therefore, his efficiency is 20%.
Summarizing, If a person can do his job in n days, efficiency will be

Efficiency = %
Note: Negative efficiency cancels the positive efficiency
For Example: Positive efficiency = 5%
Negative efficiency = 1.5%
Net efficiency = 5- 1.5 = 3.5%
As we all know, in competitive exams time management is very important. I suggest you to learn the
fractions till 15.

Number of days required to Work/Day Efficiency (%)

complete work
N 1/n 100/n
1 1 100
2 1/2 50
3 1/3 33.33
4 1/4 25
5 1/5 20
6 1/6 16.66
7 1/7 14.28
8 1/8 12.5
9 1/9 11.11
10 1/10 10
11 1/11 9.09
12 1/12 8.25
13 1/13 7.69
14 1/14 7.14
15 1/15 6.66

Example 3: A can do a job in 10 days. B can do a job in 5 days. In how many days they can complete
the job if they work together?

Solution: Consider the above table

A's efficiency = 10%
B's efficiency = 20%
A+ B efficiency = 10 + 20 = 30%
This means, In one day A and B together can do 30% of work.
Therefore, Number of days A and B together take to do 100% of work =
⇒3.33 days

Example 4: A and B together can do a job in 4 days. If A can do job in 12 days if he works alone, then
how many days B alone take to complete the job?

Solution: A+B take = 4 days

⇒ A+B's efficiency = 25% i.e. they together do 25% of work in one day
A takes = 12 days
⇒ A's efficiency = 8.33%
B's efficiency = (A+B) - (A)

⇒ 25% - 8.33% = 16.66%

This means, B can do 16.66% work in one day
Therefore, to complete the job he will take = .
days
⇒ 6days

Example 5: A and B can do job in 8 days. B and C can do same job in 12 days. A, B and C together can
do same job in 6 days. In how many days A and C together can complete the job?

Solution: You are given that:

A+B's efficiency = 12.5%
B+C's efficiency = 8.33%
A+B+C's efficiency = 16.66%
we need to find A+C
Consider, 2(A+B+C) = (A+B) + (B+C) + (C+A)
⇒2(16.66) = 12.5+ 8.33 + (C+A)
⇒ C+A = 12.49 = 12.5%
Therefore, A and C takes= = 8 days
.
Hope you all understand this topic. I will soon update questions for your practice.

Trick
One simple technique is using days in denominator while solving questions. For example, A can do a
job in 3 days and B can do the same job in 6 days. In how much time they can do the job together.

Solution - 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2, hence 2 days is the answer.

Examiner can set the question in opposite way and can ask you how much time A or B alone will take
to complete the job. It is quite easy to calculate said question by putting values in equation we
arrived in above question.

You need to understand one simple concept - If A can do a job in 10 day then in one day A can do
1/10th of job.

Now let's solve questions with this trick

Question 1 - A take 5 days to complete a job and B takes 10 days to complete the same job. In how
much time they will complete the job together?

Solution - A's efficiency = 20%, B's efficiency = 10%. If they work together they can do 30% of the job
in a day. To complete the job they need 3.33 days.

Question 2 - A is twice as efficient as B and can complete a job 30 days before B. In how much they
can complete the job together?

Solution - Let efficiency percentage as x

A's efficiency = 2x and B's efficiency = x
A is twice efficient and can complete the job 30 days before B. So,
A can complete the job in 30 days and B can complete the job in 60 days

A's efficiency = 1/30 = 3.33%

B's efficiency = 1/60 = 1.66%
Both can do 5% (3.33% + 1.66%) of the job in 1 day.
So the can complete the whole job in 20 days (100/5)

Question 3 - A tank can be filled in 20 minutes. There is a leakage which can empty it in 60 minutes.
In how many minutes tank can be filled?

Solution -
Method 1
⇒ Efficiency of filling pipe = 20 minutes = 1/3 hour = 300%
⇒ Efficiency of leakage = 60 minutes = 100%

We need to deduct efficiency of leakage so final efficiency is 200%. We are taking 100% = 1 Hour as
base so answer is 30 minutes.

Method 2
⇒ Efficiency of filling pipe = 100/20 = 5%
⇒ Efficiency of leakage pipe = 100/60 = 1.66%
⇒ Net filling efficiency = 3.33%
So, tank can be filled in = 100/3.33% = 30 minutes

You can change the base to minutes or even seconds.

Question 4 - 4 men and 6 women working together can complete the work within 10 days. 3 men
and 7 women working together will complete the same work within 8 days. In how many days 10
women will complete this work?

Solution - Let number of men =x, number of women = y

⇒ Efficiency of 4 men and 6 women = 100/10 = 10%
⇒ So, 4x+6y = 10
Above equation means 4 men and 6 women can do 10% of a the job in one day.

⇒ Efficiency of 3 men and 7 women = 100/8 = 12.5%

So, 3x+7y = 12.5

By solving both equations we get, x = -0.5 and y = 2

⇒ Efficiency of 1 woman(y) = 2% per day

⇒ Efficiency of 10 women per day = 20%
So 10 women can complete the job in 100/20 = 5 days

Question 5 - A and B together can complete a task in 20 days. B and C together can complete the
same task in 30 days. A and C together can complete the same task in 30 days. What is the
respective ratio of the number of days taken by A when completing the same task alone to the
number of days taken by C when completing the same task alone?

Solution - ⇒ Efficiency of A and B = 1/20 per day = 5% per day ___________1

⇒ Efficiency of B and C = 1/30 per day = 3.33% per day_________2
⇒ Efficiency of C and A = 1/30 per day = 3.33% per day_________3

Taking equation 2 and 3 together

⇒ B + C = 3.33% and C + A = 3.33%
⇒ C and 3.33% will be removed. Hence A = B
⇒ Efficiency of A = B = 5%/2 = 2.5% = 1/40
⇒ Efficiency of C = 3.33% - 2.5% = 0.833% = 1/120
⇒ A can do the job in 40 days and C can do the job in 120 days he they work alone.
⇒ Ratio of number of days in which A and C can complete the job 1:3.

Net efficiency = 50 ⎯(16.66 + 8.33) = 25%
Time required = = 4 hours

61. Option B

Work done by A = 1⎯[ ]=

So, A : (B + C) = : = 15 : 8

So, A’s share = Rs. [ ]

× 529 = Rs.345

62. Option B

(A’s 1 day’s work) : (B’s 1 day’s work) = : 1 = 7 : 4

Let A’s and B’s 1 day’s work be 7x and 4x respectively.
Then, 7x + 4x = 11x = x=

Quantitative Aptitude Made Easy

So, A’s 1 day’s work = [ ×7 =]

63. Option D

Suppose the work was finished in x days.

Then, A’s (x ⎯8) day’s work + B’s (x ⎯12) day’s work + C’s x day’s work = 1
⎯ ⎯
+ + =1 6(x ⎯8) + 4 (x ⎯12) + 3x = 216
So, 13x = 312 or x = 24

64. Option C
B’s 1 day’s work = [ ⎯ ]= =
Now, (A + B)’s 1 day’s work =[ + ]== [
B works for half day only ]
So, A and B together will complete the work in 15 days.

65. Option C

1 woman’s 1 day’s work = ; 1 child’s 1 day’s work =

(5 women + 10 children)’s 1 day’s work = + [

= + =] [ ]
So, 5 women and 10 children will complete the work in 7 days.

66. Option A

1 man’s 1 day’s work =

12 men’s 6 day’s work =[ ]

×6 = [
Remaining work = 1 ⎯ ]=
18 men’s 1 day’s work =[ × 18 = ]
work is done by them in 1 day.

So, work is done by them in 6 × [ ] = 2 days

67. Option A

B’s daily earning = Rs. (300 ⎯188) = Rs.112

A’s daily earning = Rs. (300 ⎯152) = Rs.148

C’s daily earning [

Solutions for the above Time and Work Aptitude Questions:

1).A is 30% more efficient than B. How much time will they, working together, take to complete

a job which A alone could have done in 23 days?

Ratio of times taken by A and B = 100: 130 = 10: 13,

Suppose B takes x days to do the work.

23×13 299
Then, 10: 13:: 23 : x => x =( ) => x =
10 10

1 10
A’s 1 day’s work =23 ; B’s 1 days work =299.

A and B together can complete the job in 13 days.

Answer: b

2).A does half as much work as B in three-fourth of the time. If together they take 18 days to

complete the work, how much time shall B take to do it?

Suppose B takes x days to do the work

Answer: a

3). A is 50% as efficient as B.C does half of the work done by A and B together. If C alone

does the work in 40 days, then A, B and C together can do the work in?

(A’s 1 day’s work) : (B’s 1 day’s work)=150:100=3:2.

Let A’s and B’s 1 day’s work be 3x and 2x respectively.

3x+2 5x

4) Answer (C)

The speed in still water is 20 m/min

Speed of the water current is 0.24 km/hr = 4 m/min
=> Speed of the boat upstream = 16 m/min => Time upstream = 576/16 = 36 min
Speed of the boat downstream = 24 m/min => Time downstream = 576/24 = 24 min
=> Difference in time = 36-24 = 12 min

5) Answer (C)

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed of the train = 480/32 = 15 m/s
To convert m/s to km/hr we need to multiply by 18/5
So Speed = 15*18/5 = 54 km/hr

6) Answer (A)

Let us assume that each man does 1 unit of work each day.
So, the total work to be done is 10 X 4 = 40 units
Now, on the first day 10 workers will work, on the second day 9 workers will work, on third 8 and
so forth.
Since each man does 1 unit of work, the work done on each day can be written as-
10(1st day) + 9(2nd day) + 8(3rd day) + 7(4th day) + 6 (5th day) = 40 units
Thus, the assignment will get completed on the 5th day.

7) Answer (D)

Marked Price = Rs. 100

After successive discount of 10% and 20% ,
Therefore, Cost Price becomes => ( 0.90 ) x ( 0.80 ) x 100 = 72
Since, there is a Transportation Cost as well
Total Cost Price => ( 1.10 ) x 72 = Rs. 79.20
To gain 5%, Selling Price of the dealer should be => Rs.( 1.05 ) x ( 79.20 ) = Rs. 83.16

8) Answer (C)

Let his normal speed be ‘s’.

So, the distance will be 180s. (3 hours = 180 minutes)
But he leaves his house 45 minutes late. So, the time left is 135 minutes.
Let the speed in this case be s’.
=> 135s’ = 180s
=> s’/s = 4/3
Thus, he needs to increase his speed by a factor of 1/3 or 33.33%

9) Answer (B)

The amount of work done by Amit in 3 days is equal to the amount of work done by Vinod in 2
days. Hence if Amit does 1 unit of work in 3 days, Vinod can do it in 2 days. In 15 days, Amit
would do 15/3 = 5 units of work.
The time needed by Vinod to complete 5 units of work = 5*2 = 10 days.

10) Answer (D)

Let the total work to be done be 60 units. So Ram does 4 units of work in a day and Shyam does
3 units of work in a day. Hence when they work together, they will be able to do 7 units in 1 day.
Hence in 5 days, they will do 35 units of work. Thus, the remaining 25 units will have to be done
by Shyam. The time taken by Shyam to do the remaining 25 units of work = 25/3 = 8.33 days.
Hence the total time taken = 5 + 8.33 = 13.33 days.
Hence the work will be completed on 14th day.

Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (D)

All the three friends will meet at the starting point again after X seconds, such that X is the LCM of
the times taken by J, K and L to complete one round.
=> LCM of 12, 18 and 20 = 180 seconds = 3 minutes.
Hence 3 minutes is the answer.

2) Answer (E)

Let the speed of boat in still water be v and the speed of water be x.
Boat speed while going upstream = v-x = 28
Boat speed while going downstream = v+x = 32
=> 2v = 60 => v = 30
Hence, none of these is the correct answer.

3) Answer (A)

Suppose the required distance be d km/h

Then, d/4 - d/5 = 15min = 1/4 h ⇒ d 1/20 = 1/4 ⇒ d = 5km

4) Answer (D)

Speed downstream = (15 + 3) kmph = 18 kmph.

Distance traveled =(18×12/60)km = 3.6 km.

5) Answer (D)

Time taken to cover 375 km = (375 / 75)h = 5h

Number of stoppages = 375 / 125 - 1 = 2
Total time to stoppages = (5 × 2 ) min = 10 min
Hence, total time taken = 5 h 10 min

6) Answer (C)

With the current => downstream

Against the current => upstream
Let the speed of the boat be ‘s’ and the speed of the river be ‘r’.
So, s - r = 5 and s + r = 15
=>2s = 20 => s = 10 and r = 5 kmph
Speed of the current = 5 kmph

7) Answer (C)

Speed of train = x
Relative speed = x + 9(5 / 18) = x + 2.5
Speed = 210 / 6 = 35 m/s
x + 2.5 = 35 => x = 32.5 m/s = 32.5 * (18/5) = 6.5 * 18 = 117 kmph

8) Answer (E)

We know the formula of speed which is Speed = Distance/Time

Speed of a truck = 640/10 = 64
Speed of a car = 640/8 = 80
Ratio of speed of truck and car = 64:80 = 4:5

9) Answer (B)

Number of days in 4 weeks = 4*7 = 28

Since Faisal walks 325 m every day
Distance walked in 28 days = 325*28 = 9100 m
9100 m = 9.1 km

10) Answer (C)

Length of the train = 280 m

Length of the platform = (280*3) m
Since the train passes the platform completely
Total distance traveled by train = 280 + (3*280) = 4*280
Time take = 6 min 40 s = 360 + 40 = 400 s
Speed = 4*280 / 400 = 2.8 m/s.
