TIME AND WORK CRACK BYTES

-

Hey folks ,

Let us start from level easy to hard. In this post we will be discussing TWO METHODS for simple concept in TIME AND WORK. Lets proceed to METHOD 1

METHOD 1:

General description of METHOD 1 - There will be a piece of work . Say Person A will complete it in some X days ,say Person B will complete the same work in some Y days. The question will be asked to find the number of days taken to complete the same work if both A and B work together.

APPROACH 1: 
(Just follow the steps)

STEP 1: Take LCM of X and Y  -----  TOTAL WORK     -----1

STEP 2: LCM / X ----- Individual work done by A           -----2

STEP 3: LCM/Y ------- Individual work done by B           -----3

STEP 4: 1/(2+3) -------Number of days taken to complete if  A & B work together -----ANSWER

The execution of above steps seems to be time consuming , but actually it is not. It will work out faster if we apply on some questions. Here we go with some METHOD 1 questions. it will make our approach easier then.

EXAMPLES ON METHOD 1:

A can do a piece of work in 10 days. B can do the same work in 15 days. In how many days will the work be completed , if A & B work together ?


Just follow the steps mentioned to arrive at correct answer

STEP 1: Take LCM of 10 and 15  -----  TOTAL WORK     -----30

STEP 2: 30/ 10 ----- Individual work done by A                  -----3

STEP 3: 30/15 ------- Individual work done by B                 -----2

STEP 4: 30/(3+2) -------6 days taken to complete if  A & B work together -----ANSWER 6 days



A can do a piece of work in 12 days. B can do the same work in 15 days. In how many days will the work be completed , if A & B work together ?
Just follow the steps mentioned to arrive at correct answer

STEP 1: Take LCM of 12 and 15  -----  TOTAL WORK     -----60

STEP 2: 60/ 12 ----- Individual work done by A                  -----5

STEP 3: 60/15 ------- Individual work done by B                 -----4

STEP 4: 60/(5+4) -------20/3 days taken to complete if  A & B work together -----ANSWER 20/3 or 6 2/3 days



From the above steps and calculations we could arrive to the Formula for calculating the days taken to complete the work as Total work / per day working capacity of all workers

Practice more questions on METHOD 1 for the fluent calculation. Hope it might be useful. I will be posting many q&a , various methods following this post . Stay tuned to BLOG

 A gamer's Nostalgia To his grace, to glory, to future.  In this never-ending saga of a futuristic world, it is always okay to sit back and revisit our past. Nostalgia hits different for different people. Some associate it with places. Many associates with people and here comes the ultimate tribe who associate themselves with games. Yep, I belong to the long-lost "The Gamer tribe". Life was simple back then. There was a wide range of games starting from action to cooking, from kid's super Mario to Ages of Empire. Imagination and creativity knew no bounds when it came to games. We lived in our own world blessed with star showers, gold coin collections, weapon collections, new avatars, brand-new suites, and many more. We used multi-purpose joysticks to simple PC keyboards.  My personal favorite was the PC keyboard with huge keys. Thanks to the huge keys. The clicking, rattling, clacking sounds of keys gave me an adrenaline rush every time I played. Narrowing down, I wou
