Let food stock will be exhausted in x days .
Given, m1 = 120, D1 = 45
M2 = 120 + 30 = 150
and D2 = ?
Then, using M1D1 = M2D2Correct Option: D
Let food stock will be exhausted in x days .
Given, m1 = 120, D1 = 45
M2 = 120 + 30 = 150
and D2 = ?
Then, using M1D1 = M2D2
⇒ 120 x 45 = 150 x D2
∴ D2 = 120 x 45/120 = 36

Given, M1 = 6, M2 = 8 , T1 = 16 h,
and T2 = ?, W1 = W2 = 1
According to the formula.
M 1T 1W2 = M2T2W 1
Correct Option: C
Given, M1 = 6, M2 = 8 , T1 = 16 h,
and T2 = ?, W1 = W2 = 1
According to the formula.
M1T1W2 = M2T2W1
∴ 6 x 16 x 1 = 8 x T2 x 1
∴ T2 = 16 x 6/8 = 2 x 6 = 12 h

Given, M1 = 10 D1 = 8, M2 = ? and D2 = 1/2
From M1D1 = M2D2Correct Option: D
Given, M1 = 10 D1 = 8, M2 = ? and D2 = 1/2
From M1D1 = M2D2
⇒ 10 x 8 = M2 x 1/2
⇒ M2 = 10 x 8 x 2
∴ M2 = 160

12 men =18 women
⇒ 1 man = 18/12 women
⇒ 8 men = 18/12 x 8 = 12 women
Given m1 = 18 M2 = 12 +16 = 28,
D1 , D2 = ? and W1 = W2 = 1
According to the formula
M1D1W2 = M2D2W1Correct Option: A
12 men =18 women
⇒ 1 man = 18/12 women
⇒ 8 men = 18/12 x 8 = 12 women
Given m1 = 18 M2 = 12 +16 = 28,
D1 , D2 = ? and W1 = W2 = 1
According to the formula
M1D1W2 = M2D2W1
⇒ 18 x14 x1= 28 x D2 x1
∴ D2 = (18 x 14)/28 = 9 days
- Alen and Border can do a work individually in 21 and 42 days respectively. In how many days they can complete the work, working alternatively?

Alen's one day's work =1/21
Border's one day's work = 1/42
Alen and Border's two days work(working alternatively) = (1/21) + (1/42) = 1/14Correct Option: B
Alen's one day's work =1/21
Border's one day's work = 1/42
Alen and Border's two days work(working alternatively) = (1/21) + (1/42) = 1/14
So, Alen and Border do 1/14 work in 2 days
So, they complete the work in 14 x 2 = 28 days.
