qunpten TIME AND WORK CONCEPT OF EFFICIENCY Efficiency means rate of doing work. This means that more the efficiency, less will be the number of days required to complete a certain work and less the efficiency, more will be the number of days required to complete a certain work. Aliza is twice as efficient as Binny. = Aliza does twice as much work as Binny in the same time interval = Aliza will require half the time as required by Binny to do the same work. CONCEPT OF NEGATIVE WORK ‘Suppose two persons 4 and B are working to build a wall while Cis ‘working to demolish the wall. Ifwe consider the work asthe build~ ing of the wall, then breaking the wall (by C) is negative work. ‘The concept of negative work generally appears in the problems based on pipes and cisterns, where there are inlet pipes and outlet pipes‘leaks, which are working against each other. If.we consider the work of filling a tank, the inlet pipe does positive work while the outlet pipe/leaks does negative work. Illustration 1: 4 can build a wall in 15 days and B can build it in 10 days, while C can completely demolish the wall in 12 days, Ifthey start working at the same time, in how many days will the work be completed. Solution: Work per day by A = 1 Work per day by B = + per day by B= 75 Work per day by C= = prey 2 (negative sign is taken for negative work) The net combined work per day by 4, B and C rot iait = 441-1. Isto 1212 Total work done = (Work done per day) x (No. of days required to complete the work) Since, No. of days required to complete the work Total workdone 1, Work done perday I *” 2 CONCEPT OF MAN-DAYS If MF men working together can complete a work in *D* days, then the product of number of men (.M) and number of days (D) i.e. M » Dis known as the number of MAN-DAYS. Number of man days to complete a specific task always remains constant, Suppose 30 persons working together for 20 days to complete a job, then the total work done is equal to (30 * 20 = 600) man-days. If we change the number of days in which the work is to be completed, then the other factor ie. the number of persons will change accordingly, so that the product ofthe factors becomes equal to 600 man-days. WORK DONE Consider a whole work as the unit work 1, Work Done by Two Persons Let 4 can do a whole work in x days and B can do the same one unit work in y days 1 Hence work done by 4 in one day = — y rs and work done by B in one day = y ‘Then work done in one day when 4 and B work together yee or y y Whole work = (Work done in one day) * (Number of days, required to complete the whole work)158 © Time and Work Hence, number of days required to complete the whole work Whole work Work done in one day = Number of days required to complete the whole work when 4 and B are working together 1 y - 2 because a whole work is considered as one ety rey » unit of work Illustration 2: 1f4 can do a work in 10 days and B can do the same work in 15 days, then how many days will they take to complete the work both while working together? 1 Solution: Work done by 4 in one day = => 10 Work done by iin one day = 15 Work done in one day when 4 and B work together 11 342 5 1 “1071S 30 30 6 1 T 6 We can find the required number of days directly by using the formula, Hence required number of days x» Number of days = =? derived above 10x15 _ 150 1o+15 25 Illustration 3: “4° completes a work in 12 days. ‘B’ completes the same work in 15 days. ‘4” started working alone and after 3 days B joined him.

Work Done by Three Persons ‘As we derived the formula for two persons, you can also derived the formula for three persons in the same way, If, B, C can do a work in-x, y and z days respectively, then all of them working together can finish the work in days. ax istration 4: If 4, B, C can do a work in 12, 15 and 20 days respectively, then how many days will they take to complete the work when all the three work together.

Solutio, 1 Work done by 4 and B working together in one day = Work done by 4 in one day = 7 Work done by B in one day = 2-4 = 32-1 fork done by B in one day = 5 — 55 = "34° = 34 Hence number of days in which B alone can do the whole work You can find required number of days directly by using the above formula as ay _ 8xI2_ 8x12 n-sa Required number of days = yox EXTENSION OF THE CONCEPT OF TIME AND WORK Problems related to Pipes and Cistens are almost the same as those of Time and Work. Statement ‘pipes 4 and B can fill a tank in 2 hours and 3 hours working individually’ is similarto the state~ ment ‘4 and B can do a work in 2 hours and 3 hours respectively working individually’ IF pipe fills tank in 3 hours, then the pipe fills 1rd ofthe same tank in 1 hour. 3 ‘The only difference with the pipes and cisterns problems is that there are inlets as well as outlets. Inlet is a pipe connected with a tank (or a cistern or a reservoir) that fills it. Outlet is 4 pipe connected with a tank (or a cistern or a reservoir) that empties it, Hence, if we consider filling the tank by inlet as positive work, then empting the tank by outlet will be considered as negative work,(a) Let a pipe fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours.

Alternate Work In some problems two or more people of different efficiencies work alternatively or in some particular pattern. You can under- stand the method to solve these types of problems through the following illustration. Illustration 10: Sanjeev can build a wall in 20 days and Parveen can demolish the same wall in 30 days. If they work on alternate days with Sanjeev starting the job on the Ist day, then in how many days will the wall be built for the first time Solution: Let us assume the total units of work = 60 units (ie. LCM of 20 and 30) So, the wall built by Sanjeev in one day = 3 units ‘And wall demolished by Parveen in one day = 2 units So, effectively in two days, total wall built = 1 unit Now, they work on alternate days, so days taken to built $7 units = 57 days ‘On 58th day Sanjeev will add another 3 units and so completing the construction of wall in 58 days.
