Answer : 2. "13 + 1/3 days"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 13 + 1/3 days Explanation: C alone can finish the work in 40 days.As given C does half as much work as A and B together => (A + B) can do it in 20 days(A + B)s 1 days wok = 1/20.A's 1 days work : B's 1 days Work = 1/2 : 1 = 1:2(given)A's 1 day’s work = (1/20) x (1/3) = (1/60) [Divide 1/20 in the raio 1:2]B's 1 days work = (1/20) x (2/3) = 1/30(A+B+C)'s 1 day's work = (1/60) + (1/30) + (1/40) = 9/120 = 3/40 All the three together will finish it in 40/3 = 13 and 1/3 days.

Answer : 1. "3/91"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 3/91 Explanation: In a circle of n different persons, the total number of arrangements possible = (n - 1)!Total number of arrangements = n(S) = (15 – 1)! = 14 !Taking three persons as a unit, total persons = 13 (in 4 units)Therefore no. of ways for these 13 persons to around the circular table = (13 - 1)! = 12!In any given unit, 3 particular person can sit in 3!. Hence total number of ways that any three person can sit =n(E) = 12! X 3!Therefore P (E) = probability of three persons sitting together = n(E) / n(S) = 12! X 3 ! / 14!= 12!x3x2 / 14x13x12! = 6/14x13 = 3/91

Answer : 4. "117 days"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 117 days Explanation: K's work in a day(1st day) = 1/30L's work in a day(2nd day)= -1/60(demolishing)hence in 2 days, combined work= 1/30 - 1/60 =1/60since both works alternatively, K will work in odd days and L will work in even days.1/60 unit work is done in 2 days58/60 unit work will be done in 2 x 58 days = 116 daysRemaining work = 1-58/60 = 1/30Next day, it will be K's turn and K will finish the remaining 1/30 work.hence total days = 116 + 1 = 117.
