SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Time and Work (Pipe & Cisterns) - 1 - Question 10

Two inlet pipes can fill a cistern in 10 and 12 hours respectively and an outlet pipe can empty 80 gallons of water per hour. All the three pipes working together can fill the empty cistern in 20 hours. What is the capacity (in gallons) of the tank?    (SSC Sub. Ins. 2017)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Time and Work (Pipe & Cisterns) - 1 - Question 10

Part filled by first pipe in 1 hour = 1/10
Part filled by second pipe in 1 hour = 1/12
Suppose, the waste pipe can empty the full tank in x hours.
Then, part emptied by waste pipe in 1 hour = 1/x
All the three pipes can fill the tank in 20 hours i.e. part filled by all three pipes in hour = 1/20
Now,

i.e, the waste pipe can empty the full tank in 15/2 hours
Given that the waste pipe can empty 80 gallons per hour.
Therefore, in 15/2 hours, it can empty

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Time and Work (Pipe & Cisterns) - 1 - Question 11

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Time and Work (Pipe & Cisterns) - 1 - Question 11

According to question,
If P can complete a work in 1 day,  Q can complete the same work in 4 days.
Hence, if the difference is 3 days, Q can complete the work in 4 days
⇒ If the difference is 45 days, Q can  complete the work in 60 days

∴ P and Q together can do work in 12 days.

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Time and Work (Pipe & Cisterns) - 1 - Question 12

A certain number of men complete a piece of work in 60 days. If there were 8 men more, the work can be finished in 10 days less. The number of men originally is:    (SSC MTS 2017)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Time and Work (Pipe & Cisterns) - 1 - Question 12

Here,
M1 = x, D1 = 60 days
M2 = (x + 8), D2 = 50 days
Now,
M1D1 = M2D2
⇒ x × 60 = (x + 8) × 50
⇒ 60x = 50x + 400
⇒ 10x = 400
⇒ x = 40
∴ The number of men originally = 40.

A + B = 60%  and B + C = 70%
∴ (A + B) + (B + C) – (A + B + C) = B
(60 + 70 – 100) = 30
∴ B = 30%
A = 30%  and C = 40%
Hence, C is most efficient.
