S, M, E and F are working in shifts in a team to finish a project. M works with twice the efficiency of others but for half as many days as E worked. S and M have 6 hour shifts in a day, whereas E and F have 12 hours shifts. What is the ratio of contribution of M to contribution of E in the project?
Let the efficiency of M = 2 [ efficiency of S, E, and F]
The amount of work done by M in the project = x days × 6 hrs. ×2
The amount of work done by M in the project = 2x days × 12 hrs. ×1
The amount of work done by M: The amount of work done by M
x × 6 × 2 : 2x × 12 × 1
1 : 2 so option(b) is correct
‘M’ works with twice efficiency as E but worked for half as many days. So in this repsect they willdo equal work if their shifts would have been for same timings. But M’s shift is for hrs, while E’sshift for 12 hrs. Hence E will do twice the work as M.Ratio of contribution of M : E in work, 1 : 2
A flat is shared by four first year undergraduate students. They agreed to allow the oldest of them to enjoy some extra space in the flat. Manu is two months older than Sravan, who is three months younger than Trideep. Pavan is one month older than Sravan. Who should occupy the extra space in the flat?
Let Sravan s, Manu M, Pavan P , Trideep T
Manu is two months older than Sravan M = 2 + S
Sravan, is three months younger than Trideep T = 3 + S = M + 1
Pavan is one month older than Sravan P = 1 + S = M − 1 = T − 2
From this Trideep age > Man > Pavan > Sravan
∴ Trideep can occupy the extra space in the flat
