Time & Work
• Work (Effort) = Manpower x time.
• If A can do a piece of work in x days then work done by A in one day is
equal to 1/x of the entire work.
• If A is twice as good a workman as B then A will take half the time
taken by B to do a same piece of work.
• If number of people to do a certain work is increased (or decreased)
the time taken to do the same work will decrease (or increase)
• Total work = LCM
• Efficiency = (Total work)/(Total time)
• OR
• Total work = Efficiency x Total time

Time & Work
Q. A, B & C can complete a certain work in 10, 12 & 15 days
respectively. If all of them work together in how many days will the
work get completed?

Time & Work
Q. A, B & C can complete a certain work in 10, 12 & 15 days respectively. If all of them work together in
how many days will the work get completed?
Soln:
We know, Total work = Days x units/day
LCM(10,12,15) = 60
60 (Total Work)
units/day 6 5 4
days 10 12 15
(A) (B) (C)
In one day, A+B+C = 6+5+4 = 15units
So to complete TW = 60 units, days = ?
60
days = = 4. So 4 days are needed to complete the work.

Time & Work
Q. Two persons A & B can complete a work in 20 & 30 days respectively. If both of them start together
but A stops after 10 days then how many days will the work last?
A.7 days B. 8 days C. 15 days D. 10 days
Soln: LCM(20,30) = 60
60 (Total Work)
units/day 3 2
days 20 30
(A) (B)
A after 10 days, 3 x 10 = 30 units & B after 10 days = 2 x 10 = 20units
Total units =60 , Remaining units = total – A + B(after 10 days)
= 60-50=10units

Q. Two persons A & B can complete a work in 20 days , B & C can complete it in 24 days & C and A can
complete it in 40 days. Find in how many days will B complete the work alone?

varied.
• In chain rule problems all entities are of the same efficiency or work
capacity.
• The entities may be men, women, tractors, engines, pumps, horses,
lawn mowers etc.
• Work Done = No. of Men x Days x Hrs/day
• W = MxDxH
• W1 = M1xD1xH1, W2=M2xD2xH2
• W1 = M1xD1xH1

broad in 91 days. In how many days will 80 men working for 9 hours a day build a
wall 50 mt long, 72 mt high & 30 mt broad ?
Men x Days x Hrs/day = Work Done (Volume of Wall)
Case 1
36 x 91 x 12 = 45 x 52 x 63
Case 2
80 x D x 9 = 50 x 72 x 30
36 x 91 x 12 45 x 52 x 63
D = 40 days

Chain Rule
Q. 20 men or 40 women working for 9 hours a day can finish a work in 80 days. In how many
days will 10 men & 10 women working together for 12 hours a day finish the work?
Men x Days x Hrs/day = Work Done
Also 20 Men = 40 Women  1M = 2 W(convert to one unit i.e. women or children)
20 men ---- 40 women
1men ------ ? (2women)
Case 1
40W x 80 x 9 = work
Case 2
(20W +10W) x D x 12 = work

many days will 1 man & 1 woman & 1 child working together for 8 hours a day finish the work?
• A. 180 days B. 192 days C. 216 days D. 164 days
• Men x Days x Hrs/day = Work Done
• Also 8 Men = 16 children  1M = 2 C
• And 12 Women = 16 children  1W = 4/3 C
• Case 1
• 16C x 52 x 8 = work
• Case 2
• (2C +4/3C+C) x D x 8 = work
• (2C +4/3C+C) x D x 8 = 16C x 52 x 8

Chain Rule
Q. 12 men and 16 boys can do a piece of work in 5 days. 13 men and 24 boys can do
it in 4 days. The ratio of the daily work done by a man and a boy is –
A. 2 : 1 B. 3 : 1 C. 3 : 2 D. 5 : 4
Soln:
W=MxD and W=MxD
W= (12m+16b) x 5 W = (13m+24b) x 4
= 60m + 80b = 52m + 96b
As , work done is same, equating both sides ,we get,
60m + 80b = 52m + 96b
60m – 52m = 96b – 80 b
8m = 16b
m = 2b m:b=2:1

Interest
If P = Principal, R = Rate of interest, N = Time in years, I = Interest, A = Amount

Then A = P + I
Simple Interest
S.I. = (P x R x N) / 100
Basic principal remains constant.
S.I. is good example of AP(Arithmetic Progression)
Compound Interest
A = P ( 1+ R/100)T T = periods of compounding,
C.I. = A – P R = rate for compounding period
Basic principal keeps on increasing as we get interest on interest.
C.I. is good example of GP(Geometric Progression)

Q. A sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs. 815 in 3 years and to Rs. 854 in 4
years. The sum is:
A. Rs. 650 B. Rs. 690 C. Rs. 698 D. Rs. 700
Soln:-
amount after 4 years = amount after 3 years + simple interest in one year

• If the difference between compound and simple interest is of two years than,
Difference = P(R)²/(100)²
Where P = principal amount, R = rate of interest

Q. When annual compounding is done, a sum amounts to Rs 5000 in 6 years and 7200 in 8 years.
What is the int rate?
A. 10% B. 15% C. 20% D. 25%
Soln
Let P be the principal & R the int rate
 5000 = P(1+R/100)^6……(1)
 7200 = P(1+R/100)^8……(2)
 36/25 = (1+R/100)^2
 Taking square roots of both sides
 1+R/100 = 6/5
 R/100 =1/5
 R = 20%

year was Rs.326. How much did he borrow at 14%?
A. Rs 1000 B. Rs 1200 C. Rs 1300 D. Rs 1500

Probability
• How likely an event is supposed to happen.
Favourable outcome
• Probability =
Total number of outcomes
• AND  multiply(x) e.g:- 1green and 1 blue ball in a box
• OR  Add (+) e.g:- 1 red or 1 blue ball in a box
• 1 bag has 3 balls, what is the probability of you picking up 2 balls?

Favourable outcome
Probability =
Total number of outcomes

Points to Remember
• The probability of an event will not be less than 0.
• This is because 0 is impossible (sure that something will not happen).
• The probability of an event will not be more than 1. This is because 1 is certain that
something will happen.
• The probability of an event is a number describing the chance that the event will
happen.
• An event that is certain to happen has a probability of 1.
• An event that cannot possibly happen has a probability of 0.
• If there is a chance that an event will happen, then its probability is between 0 & 1.

Probability
• Atleast – min to max
• Eg:- 2 bags out of 3
min max
So various probabilities to be done is 2 and 3
• Atmost - max to min

• Eg:- 1 bag has 3 balls out of which probability to pick up 2 balls
atmost 2  max 2 , 1 , 0 (min)

of occurrence of both A and B is 0.1. what is the probability that none of A and B occur?
A. 0.4 B. 0.5 C. 0.2 D. 0.1
Soln:
probability of sure event = 1
• Given P(A) = 0.5 and P(B) = 0.2
• P(A or B) = P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
= 0.5 + 0.2 – 0.1 = 0.6
• And P(neither A nor B) = P(A’ ∩ B’) = 1 – P(A ∪ B) = 1 – 0.6 = 0.4.
Ans: A
• Note: P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
• This is also known as the addition theorem of probability.
