2 × 38 × 9 × 6 × 12 = 57 × 4 × 8 × x 16. (C) Men Work Time
 x = 27 days 250 1 5 × 20
13.(B) 11 A 12 M 1 8 × 10
132
12 B 11 250 × 1 × 8 × 10 = M × 1 × 5 × 20
 M = 312.5  313

T(A+B) = 11 12 23 1 1
Let they put x bricks with full efficiency 17. (B) 1 girl's 1 days work =
8 4 32
So,
1 1
132 1 boy's 1 days work =
x = 6 [x – 300] 3 2 6
23
 22x = 23x – 6900 11
1 woman's 1 days work =
 x = 6900 bricks 5 4 20
So, Total bricks in wall = 6 [6900 – 300] Clearly, girls are less efficient i.e., they are
= 6 × 6600 taking the most time.
= 39,600 bricks
14.(C) Let efficiency of each men = 1
total work = 25 × 1 × 20 = 500
Let after x days 15 men left the work.
So,
75
25x + 10 × 1 = 500
2
 25x + 375 = 500
125
x= = 5 days
25
So, After 5 days 15 men left the work.

15. (C) Let number of men who left the job is x

1
Clearly, 1 day's work of 30 men =
40

1
1 day's work of 1 man =
30 40

24
24 day's work of 30 men =
40

40 x
and 40 days, work of x men =
30 40
The work is completed in 64 days
24 40x
 + =1
40 30 40

24 x x 16
 + = 1 =
40 30 30 40
x = 12
Thus, 12 men left the job
