 Practice Questions

Q1. A completes work in 10 days. Find one day work.

Solution:

1 ÷ 10

✅ Answer = 1/10

Q2. B completes work in 5 days. Find one day work.

Solution:

1 ÷ 5

✅ Answer = 1/5

Q3. A can complete work in 10 days and B in 15 days. Find combined work in one day.

Solution:

1/10 + 1/15

(3 + 2)/30

✅ Answer = 5/30 = 1/6

Q4. If one day work is 1/20, find total days.

Solution:

Total Days = 20

✅ Answer = 20 days

Q5. A completes work in 8 days. How much work in 2 days?

Solution:

One day work = 1/8

2 day work = 2/8

✅ Answer = 1/4

Q6. A and B complete work in 12 days together. Find one day work.

Solution:

1 ÷ 12

✅ Answer = 1/12

Q7. A alone completes work in 25 days. Find work done in 5 days.

Solution:

5 × 1/25

✅ Answer = 1/5

Q8. A does twice the work of B. Find efficiency ratio.

Solution:

A : B = 2 : 1

✅ Answer = 2 : 1

Q9. If efficiency increases, time taken will?

Solution:

Efficiency ↑ → Time ↓

✅ Answer = Decrease

Q10. A completes work in 6 days. B completes in 3 days. Who is more efficient?

Solution:

Less days = More efficiency

✅ Answer = B

 Observation Tricks

• Convert days into one-day work quickly
• Add efficiencies directly
• Less time means higher efficiency
• Practice fraction simplification daily

📖 Important Time & Work Formulas

Topic	Formula
One Day Work	1/Days
Total Work	Efficiency × Time
Combined Work	1/a + 1/b
Efficiency	Work/Time

🎯 Daily Practice Strategy

• Practice one day work problems
• Practice combined work questions
• Revise efficiency concepts
• Improve fraction calculations

This improves:

• Logical solving speed
• Arithmetic accuracy
• Competitive exam confidence

“Time & Work Becomes Easy When Efficiency Concepts Are Practiced Daily.”
