A Correct answer
Explanation

Rambo finishes 3/5 of the work in 9 days, so he does 1/15 of the work per day. In the next 4 days, Rambo and Shaun finish the remaining 2/5 of the work. Thus, (Rambo + Shaun) rate = (2/5) / 4 = 1/10 per day. Shaun's rate = 1/10 - 1/15 = 3/30 - 2/30 = 1/30. Shaun takes 30 days to finish the work alone.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Chainu rate = 1/30. Pinky rate = 1/40 (half in 20 days). Work done: Chainu (10/30) + Pinky (8/40) = 1/3 + 1/5 = 8/15. Remaining work = 7/15. Disha does 7/15 in 21 days, so Disha rate = (7/15) / 21 = 1/45. Disha takes 45 days.

C Correct answer
Explanation

8M = 17W, so 1M = 17/8 W. 12M + 24W = 12*(17/8)W + 24W = 25.5W + 24W = 49.5W. 17 women take 33 days for 1 house, so 1 woman takes 17*33 days for 1 house. 49.5 women take (17*33)/49.5 days for 1 house = 11.33 days. For 3 houses, time = 11.33 * 3 = 34 days.

A Correct answer
Explanation

If Akash is 3 times as fast as Baldev, the ratio of time taken is 1:3. Let Baldev take 3x and Akash take x. 3x - x = 40, so x = 20. Akash takes 20 days, Baldev takes 60. Together, they take (20*60)/(20+60) = 1200/80 = 15 days.
