2. Question : A work is done by two people in 24 min. one of them can do this work a lonely in 40 min. how much time required to do the same work for the second person.
Answer : In 1 minute (A+B) can do 1/24 work. A alone can 1/40 work in 1 minute
B alone can do in 1 minute = (A+B)’s – A’s = 1/24 – 1/40 = 1/60 work
Therefore, b can do the same work in = 60 min
3. Question : A car is filled with four and half gallons of oil for full round trip. Fuel is taken 1/4 gallon more in going than coming. What is the fuel consumed in coming up?
Answer : Before the trip, car is filled with = 4 ½ gallon of oil.
Let ‘X’ be the quantity of fuel consumed for the trip in one direction
The fuel consumed while going = X + ¼
The fuel consumed while coming = X
Therefore, the fuel consumed for the trip = (X + ¼) + X = 4 ½
2X + ¼ = 4 ½ => 2X = 4 ½ - ¼ => 2X = 4 ¼ => X= 2 1/8 . approx
Therefore the fuel consumed while coming = 2.125 gallon
