Answer : 2. "225 days"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 225 days Explanation: Given that (10M + 15W) x 6 days = 1M x 100 days => 60M + 90W = 100M => 40M = 90W => 4M = 9W. From the given data, 1M can do the work in 100 days => 4M can do the same work in 100/4= 25 days. => 9W can do the same work in 25 days. => 1W can do the same work in 25 x 9 = 225 days.   Hence, 1 woman can do the same work in 225 days.

Answer : 3. "24min"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 24min Explanation: Given taps X and Y can fill the tank in 30 and 40 minutes respectively. Therefore,   part filled by tap X in 1 minute = 1/30   part filled by tap Y in 1 minute = 1/40   Tap Z can empty the tank in 60 minutes. Therefore,   part emptied by tap Z in 1 minute = 1/60   Net part filled by Pipes X,Y,Z together in 1 minute = [1/30 +1/40 - 1/60] = 5/120 = 1/24   i.e., the tank can be filled in 24 minutes.
