1 Answer

Answer :

work finished by 33 days = 33×117×8 = 30888 man hours
4/7th of the job is finished.
remaining work = 1-(4/7) = 3/7
if 4/7th of the work is 30888 hours, then 3/7th of the work = [30888 × (3/7)] / (4/7) =
23166 man hours
number of men required to finish 23166 man hours of work in 13 days, each now
working 9 hours a day = 23166 = (no of man) × 13 × 9
number of men = 198
since, 117 men are already working, additional men required = 198 – 117 = 81

Description : A train overtakes two persons walking along a railway track. The first one walks at 4.5 km/hr. The other one walks at 5.4 km/hr. The train needs 8.4 and 8.5 seconds respectively to overtake them. What is the speed ... as the train? A.59 km/hr B.65 km/hr C.70 km/hr D.81 km/hr E. None of these

Last Answer : Answer-D (81 km/hr) Explanation4.5 km/hr =(4.5 x 5/18)m/sec =5m/4sec = 1.25 m/sec, and 5.4 km/hr =(5.4 x 5/18)m/sec =3m/2sec = 1.5 m/sec. Let the speed of the train be x m/sec. Then, (x - 1.25) ... - 12.75 => 0.1x = 2.25 => x = 22.5 Therefore Speed of the train =(22.5 x18 /5)km/hr = 81 km/hr.
