Q1. A can complete a piece of work in 4 days. B takes double the time taken by A, C takes double that of B, and D takes double that of C to complete the same task. They are paired in groups of two each. One pair takes two-thirds the time needed by the second pair to complete the work. Which is the first pair?
(a) A and B
(b) A and C
(c) B and C
(d) A and D
(e) C and D

Directions (2-6): Read the passage below solve the questions based on it.

There are infinite pipes attached to a very big tank. Pipes are numbered like P1,P2,P3………… and so on. Its also known that efficiency of every subsequent pipe is half the efficiency of earlier pipe, i.e., efficiency of P2 pipe is half the efficiency of P1 pipe and so on. However, in case of P1 pipe, this rule is not true since there is no earlier pipe. When all the pipes are working together, the tank gets filled in 2 hours.

Q2. How much time will P4 take of fill the tank working alone?
(a) 8 h
(b) 16 h
(c) 32 h
(d) 4 h
(e) Cannot be determined

Q3. What is difference in the time taken by P5 and P6?
(a) 32 h
(b) 64 h

(d) 16 h
(e) Cannot be determined

Q4. How many pipes can fill the tank within 100 hours working alone?
(a) 4
(b) 5
(c) 6
(d) 7
(e) Infinite

Q5. Due to some technical problem, only four pipes P1,P2,Pand P4 are in working condition. These pipes are now paired up to obtain two pairs of pipes. Now it is found that one pair of pipe is taking 2/3rd of the time taken by the other pair to fill the tank independently. Which of the following is one of the two pairs?
(a) P1,P2
(b) P1,P3
(c) P1,P4
(d) P2,P4
(e) Cannot be determined

(e) 12

Q7. Ram finishes a work in 7 days. Rahim finishes the same job in 8 days and Robert in 6 days. They take turns to finish the work. Ram worked on the first day, Rahim on the second day and Robert on the third and then again Ram and so on. Who was working on the last day when work got finished?
(a) Ram
(b) Rahim
(c) Robert
(d) Rahim and Robert
(e) Cannot be determined

(c) 80
(d) 24
(e) None of these

Q9. Two workers earned Rs. 225 first worked for 10 days and the second for 9 days. How much did each of them get daily if the first worker got Rs. 15 more for working 5 days than the second worker got for working 3 days?

Tank at a water supply station is filled with water by several pumps. At first, three pumps of the same capacity are turned on; 2.5 h later, two more pumps (both the same) of a different capacity are set into operation. After 1 h, the additional pumps were set into operation; the tank was almost filled to its capacity (15 m^3 were still lacking); in another hour the tank was full.
