A is 40% less efficient than B.

B can make a helmet in 16 days.

Formula Used:

Time taken by A = Time taken by B × (1 + Efficiency difference)

Calculation:

Efficiency of A = 100% - 40% = 60% of B's efficiency

Time taken by A = 16 × (100/60)

⇒ Time taken by A = 16 × (5/3)

⇒ Time taken by A = 80/3

A will take 80/3 days to make the same helmet.

Given:

Average marks of 11 students = 53

Average marks of 13 students = 48

Total number of students = 11 + 13 = 24

Formula Used:

Average marks of all students = (Sum of marks of group 1 + Sum of marks of group 2) / Total number of students

Calculation:

Sum of marks of group 1 = 53 × 11

⇒ 583

Sum of marks of group 2 = 48 × 13

⇒ 624

Total marks = 583 + 624

⇒ 1207

Average marks = 1207 ÷ 24

⇒ 50.29

The average marks obtained by all 24 students is approximately 50.29.

Given:

Expression: 1.4 × 1.4 + 1.2 × 1.2 + 1.3 × 1.3

Concept Used 

Calculation:

1.4 × 1.4 = 1.96

1.2 × 1.2 = 1.44

1.3 × 1.3 = 1.69

Sum = 1.96 + 1.44 + 1.69

⇒ 5.09

The value of the expression is 5.09.

Given:

Total mixture = 220 litres

Initial ratio of water to milk = 6 ∶ 5

New ratio of water to milk = 5 ∶ 4

Formula Used:

Water = (Water ratio / Total ratio) × Total mixture

Calculation:

Initial water = (6 / (6 + 5)) × 220

⇒ (6 / 11) × 220

⇒ 120 litres

Initial milk = (5 / 11) × 220

⇒ 100 litres

Let the amount of water to be added be X litres.

After adding X litres, new total water = 120 + X

According to the new ratio,

(120 + X) / 100 = 5 / 4

⇒ (120 + X) × 4 = 5 × 100

⇒ 480 + 4X = 500

⇒ 4X = 500 - 480

⇒ 4X = 20

⇒ X = 20 / 4

⇒ X = 5 litres

The amount of water to be added is 5 litres.

Shortcut Trick

Work done by A in 20 days = 20 ÷ 55 = 4/11.

Remaining work = 1 − 4/11 = 7/11.

Time taken by B for total work = 49 × (11/7) = 77 days.

Time taken by both together = (A × B) ÷ (A + B) = (55 × 77) ÷ (55 + 77) = 4235 ÷ 132 = 385/12 days.

∴ The correct answer is 385/12 days.

Alternate Method

Given:

Time taken by A to complete the work = 55 days

Days worked by A = 20 days

Time taken by B to finish remaining work = 49 days

Formula Used:

Work Done = Efficiency × Time

Calculation:

⇒ Work done by A in 20 days = 20/55 = 4/11 of the total work

⇒ Remaining work = 1 − 4/11 = 7/11 of the total work

⇒ Time taken by B alone to complete the whole work = 49 × (11/7) = 77 days

Now, finding the total work by taking LCM of days taken by A and B.

⇒ Total efficiency of A and B = 7 + 5 = 12 units/day

⇒ Time taken by A and B together = Total Work ÷ Total Efficiency = 385/12 days

∴ The correct answer is 385/12 days.

Additional Information

Total Work Concept

Total Work is universally assumed as the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of the individual times. This makes the calculation of daily efficiency an integer value, which significantly simplifies further calculations.

Work & Wages

Wages are always distributed in the ratio of the actual work done by each person. If multiple individuals work for the same number of days, their wages are simply distributed in the ratio of their efficiencies.

Pipes & Cisterns Connection

Pipes and Cisterns work on the exact same logic as Time & Work. The only difference is that a filling pipe has a positive efficiency, while an emptying pipe (or a leak) has a negative efficiency.

Combined Time Formula

If two individuals A and B can complete a task individually in 'x' and 'y' days respectively, their combined time to finish the same work together is directly given by (x × y) ÷ (x + y) days.

Given:

Final amount = 3 times the principal

Time = 34 years

Formula Used:

Simple Interest (SI) = (P × R × T) / 100

Calculation:

3P = P + SI

SI = 2P

2P = (P × R × 34) / 100

2 = (R × 34) / 100

R = (2 × 100) / 34

R = 200 / 34

R ≈ 5.88%

The rate of simple interest is approximately 5.88%.

Given:

Marked price is 28% higher than the cost price.

Discount of 15% is given on the marked price.

Formula Used:

Gain or Loss % = (Selling Price - Cost Price) / Cost Price × 100

Calculation:

Let the cost price (CP) = 100

Marked price (MP) = 100 + 28% of 100

⇒ MP = 100 + 28 = 128

Selling price (SP) = MP - 15% of MP

⇒ SP = 128 - 15% of 128

⇒ SP = 128 - 19.2

⇒ SP = 108.8

Gain % = (SP - CP) / CP × 100

⇒ Gain % = (108.8 - 100) / 100 × 100

⇒ Gain % = 8.8%

The gain percentage is 8.8%.

Given:

$\frac{144}{33} \times \frac{11}{12} - \frac{132}{13} \times \frac{52}{12}$

Concept Used 

Calculation:

$\frac{144 \times 11}{33 \times 12} - \frac{132 \times 52}{13 \times 12}$

⇒ $\frac{1584}{396} - \frac{6864}{156}$

⇒ 4 - 44

⇒ -40

The value of the expression is -40.

Given:

30% of E = 60% of F

Calculation:

0.30E = 0.60F

Divide both sides by 0.30:

E = 2F

E ∶ F = 2 ∶ 1

The value of E ∶ F is 2 ∶ 1.

Given:

Selling price (SP) = Rs. 640

Discount = 60%

Formula Used:

Selling Price = Marked Price × (1 - Discount %)

Calculation:

640 = Marked Price × (1 - 0.60)

640 = Marked Price × 0.40

Marked Price = 640 / 0.40

Marked Price = 1600

The marked price of the car is Rs. 1600.

Given:

Length of each train = 160 metres

Time taken to cross each other = 32 seconds

Both trains are running in opposite directions with the same speed.

Formula Used:

Relative Speed = (Total Distance) / Time

Speed of each train = Relative Speed / 2

Calculation:

Total Distance = 160 + 160 = 320 metres

Relative Speed = 320 / 32

Relative Speed = 10 m/s

Speed of each train = 10 / 2 = 5 m/s

Convert m/s to km/h:

Speed of each train = 5 × 18/5 = 18 km/h

The speed of each train is 18 km/h.

Given:

P sells a chair to Q at a profit of 40%.

Q sells the chair to R at a profit of 80%.

Formula Used:

Selling Price = Cost Price × (1 + Profit %)

Calculation:

Let the cost price of P be CP_P = 100

Selling price for Q = CP_P × (1 + 40/100)

⇒ Selling price for Q = 100 × 1.40 = 140

Cost price of Q = 140

Selling price for R = CP_Q × (1 + 80/100)

⇒ Selling price for R = 140 × 1.80 = 252

Cost price of R = 252

Ratio of cost prices of P and R = CP_P ∶ CP_R

⇒ 100 ∶ 252

⇒ 25 ∶ 63

The ratio of the cost prices of P and R is 25 ∶ 63.

Given:

Man spends 58% of his income.

Income increases by 30%.

Expenditure increases by 25%.

Formula Used:

Savings = Income - Expenditure

Calculation:

Let the initial income = 100

Initial expenditure = 58% of 100 = 58

Initial savings = 100 - 58 = 42

New income = 100 + 30% of 100 = 130

New expenditure = 58 + 25% of 58 = 58 + 14.5 = 72.5

New savings = 130 - 72.5 = 57.5

Percentage increase in savings = ((New savings - Initial savings) / Initial savings) × 100

⇒ ((57.5 - 42) / 42) × 100

⇒ (15.5 / 42) × 100

⇒ 36.9%

The percentage increase in his savings is 36.9%.

Given:

38% of the class are boys.

Number of girls = 31

Formula Used:

Total number of students = Number of boys + Number of girls

Calculation:

Let the total number of students in the class be T.

Number of girls = 62% of T (since 100% - 38% = 62%)

⇒ 31 = 62% of T

T = 31 / 0.62

T = 50

Number of boys = 38% of 50

⇒ Number of boys = 0.38 × 50

⇒ Number of boys = 19

The number of boys in the class is 19.

Given:

Length of the side of the cube = 13 cm

Formula Used:
