Time and Work

R's 1-day work = 1/8, S's 1-day work = 1/12. Combined rate of R+S+K = 1/4. So K's 1-day work = 1/4 - 1/8 - 1/12 = 1/24. In 4 days, K completes 4 × 1/24 = 1/6 of total work. Therefore K's share = 7200 × 1/6 = Rs.1200. Option A is correct.

This is an inverse proportion problem. More hours per day means fewer men needed, and more days means fewer men needed. Total work = 40 × 12 × 8 = 3840 man-hours. New scenario: x men × 4 hours × 16 days = 3840. Solving: 64x = 3840, so x = 60 men.

A completes work in 48 days, so A's rate = 1/48. B is 20% more efficient, so B's rate = 1.2 × 1/48 = 1/40, meaning B completes in 40 days. C takes 10 more days than B, so C completes in 50 days (rate = 1/50). Combined rate of A and C = 1/48 + 1/50 = (50+48)/(48×50) = 98/2400 = 49/1200. Time = 1200/49 days. Option A is correct.

Let total work be LCM(10,15,30) = 30 units. A does 3 units/day, B does 2 units/day, C does 1 unit/day. In 3 days: day 1 (A) = 3 units, day 2 (A) = 3 units, day 3 (B+C) = 3 units. Total per 3 days = 9 units. For 30 units: 30/9 = 3.33 cycles of 3 days = 10 days. After 9 days, 27 units done, 3 remain. Day 10: A completes 3 units, finishing the work.

Let T = time for group 2 to complete work. Group 1: 4 men do (4/3) work in T/2 time, so 4 men's 1-day work = (4/3)/(T/2) = 8/(3T). One man of group 1: 2/(3T) per day. Group 2: 3 men do 1 work in T time, so 3 men's 1-day work = 1/T. One man of group 2: 1/(3T) per day. Required ratio: 3 men of group 1 = 3 × 2/(3T) = 2/T; 4 men of group 2 = 4 × 1/(3T) = 4/(3T). Ratio = (2/T) : (4/(3T)) = 3:2.

A takes 21 days, so A's efficiency is 1/21 work per day. Since A is twice as efficient as B, B takes 42 days (efficiency 1/42). Since A is half as efficient as C, C takes 10.5 days (efficiency 2/21). Together, their combined efficiency is (1/21 + 1/42 + 2/21) = 7/42 = 1/6 work per day, so they complete the work in 6 days. None of the given options (12.5, 10.5, 8.25, 4.75) match 6 days.

This is a work-rate problem using the concept of man-hours. Original work: 38 men x 6 hours x 12 days = 2736 man-hours. New work is double: 5472 man-hours. New arrangement: 57 people x 8 hours x D days = 456D man-hours/day. Equating: 456D = 5472, so D = 5472/456 = 12. The key formula is M1 x H1 x D1 = M2 x H2 x D2 for the same work, adjusting for 'double work' factor. Option D (12) is correct. Option A (10), B (15), and C (14) don't satisfy the equation.

First find individual work rates: 16 men = 40 days, so 1 man = 640 man-days. Similarly, 1 woman = 800 woman-days, 1 boy = 1280 boy-days. Combined work per day from 8 men + 30 women + 16 boys = 8/640 + 30/800 + 16/1280 = 0.0125 + 0.0375 + 0.0125 = 0.0625. Days needed = 1/0.0625 = 16 days. The calculation is correct.

Calculate work rates: Kamlesh = 1/36 work per day. Vimlesh does 50% in 24 days, so 100% in 48 days = 1/48 per day. Suresh + Kamlesh do 25% in 4 days, so 1/16 per day together, meaning Suresh alone = 1/16 - 1/36 = 5/144 per day. Suresh + Vimlesh combined rate = 5/144 + 1/48 = 8/144 = 1/18 per day. For 12.5% (1/8) of work: time = (1/8) / (1/18) = 18/8 = 2.25 days.

Let A's 1 day work = 1/a, B's 1 day work = 1/b. Normal: 1/a + 1/b = 1/12. Modified: 1/(2a) + 3/b = 1/9. Multiply first eq by 18: 18/a + 18/b = 3. Multiply second eq by 36a: 18 + 108a/b = 4a. Substituting and solving gives a = 18, so A alone takes 18 days.

A's work per day: 1/3. B's work per day: 1/7. Combined work per day: 1/3 + 1/7 = 7/21 + 3/21 = 10/21. Work done in 2 days: 2 × (10/21) = 20/21. Work remaining: 1 - 20/21 = 1/21.

Let efficiency of 1 man = m work/day, 1 boy = b work/day. Then 3m + 4b = 1/6 and 6m + 3b = 1/4. Solving these equations: from the first, 6m + 8b = 1/3. Subtracting the second: 5b = 1/3 - 1/4 = 1/12, so b = 1/60. Substituting: 6m = 1/4 - 3/60 = 1/4 - 1/20 = 4/20 = 1/5, so m = 1/30. The ratio m:b = (1/30):(1/60) = 2:1.

A's work rate = 1/20 per day. B's rate = 1/12 per day. A works alone for 4 days, completing 4/20 = 1/5 of work. Remaining work = 4/5. Combined rate = 1/20 + 1/12 = 8/120 = 1/15 per day. Time for remaining work = (4/5) / (1/15) = 12 days. Total time = 4 + 12 = 16 days. Wait, this doesn't match any option. Let me reconsider - if A worked for 4 days, then B joined: Combined work in 4 days by A = 4/20 = 1/5. Remaining = 4/5. Combined rate = 1/20 + 1/12 = 2/15. Time = (4/5) / (2/15) = 6 days. Total = 4 + 6 = 10 days. Option C is correct.

Let total work = LCM of 40,120,180 = 360 units. P+Q = 360/40 = 9 units/day. Q+R = 360/120 = 3 units/day. Q = 360/180 = 2 units/day. So P = 9-2 = 7 units/day, R = 3-2 = 1 unit/day. P+R = 8 units/day, taking 360/8 = 45 days. Answer D is correct.

Using the work formula M1 × D1 × H1 = M2 × D2 × H2: 16 × 27 × 12 = 18 × 24 × H2. Solving gives 5184 = 432 × H2, so H2 = 12 hours. The man-hours required remain constant.
