 Access answers to Maths RD Sharma Solutions For Class 8 Chapter 11 Time and Work

1. Rakesh can do a piece of work in 20 days. How much work can he do in 4 days?

Solution:

The given details are,

Time taken by Rakesh to do a piece of work is 20 days

Work done by Rakesh in 1 day = 1/20

Work done by Rakesh in 4 days = 4 × 1/20

= 1/5

∴ 1/5th work can be done by Rakesh in 4days.

2. Rohan can paint 1/3 of a painting in 6 days. How many days will he take to complete painting?

Solution:

The given details are,

Number of days taken by Rohan for painting 1/3 of painting is 6 days

Number of days taken by Rohan to complete the painting = 6/(1/3)

= 6 × 3 = 18

∴ Rohan can complete painting in 18days.

3. Anil can do a piece of work in 5 days and Ankur in 4 days. How long will they take do the same work, if they work together?

Solution:

The given details are,

Anil can do a piece of work in 5 days

Work done by Anil in 1 day = 1/5

Ankur can do same work in 4 days

Work done by Ankur in 1 day = 1/4

Work done by both in 1 day = 1/5 + 1/4

= (5+4)/20 (by taking LCM for 5 and 4 which is 20)

= 9/20

∴ Total work done together is 1/(9/20) = 20/9 = 229 days.

4. Mohan takes 9 hours to mow a large lawn. He and Sohan together can mow in 4 hours. How long will Sohan take to mow the lawn if he works alone?

Solution:

The given details are,

Mohan can mow a lawn in 9 hours.

Work done by Mohan in 1 hour = 1/9

Mohan and Sohan can mow the lawn together in = 4 hours

Work done by Mohan and Sohan together in 1 hour = 1/4

We know that,

Work done by Sohan in 1 hour = (work done by together in 1 hour) – (work done by Mohan in 1 hr)

= 1/4 – 1/9

= (9-4)/36 (by taking LCM for 4 and 9 which is 36)

= 5/36

∴ Time taken by Sohan to complete the work = 1/(5/36) = 36/5hours.

5. Sita can finish typing a 100 page document in 9 hours, Mita in 6 hours and Rita in 12 hours. How long will they take to type a 100 page document if they work together?

Solution:

The given details are,

Work done by Sita in 1 hour = 1/9

Work done by Mita in 1 hour = 1/6

Work done by Rita in 1 hour = 1/12

Work done by Sita, Mita and Rita together in 1 hour = 1/9 + 1/6 + 1/12

= (4+6+3)/36 (by taking LCM for 9, 6 and 12 which is 36)

= 13/36

∴ Time taken by all three together to complete the work = 1/(13/36) = 36/13 hours.

6. A, B and C working together can do a piece of work in 8 hours. A alone can do it in 20 hours and B alone can do it in 24 hours. In how many hours will C alone do the same work?

Solution:

The given details are,

A can do a piece of work in 20 hours

Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/20

B can do same work in = 24 hours

Work done by B in 1 hour = 1/24

A, B and C working together can do the same work in = 8 hours

Work done by A, B, C together in 1 hour = 1/8

We know that,

Work done by C in 1 hour = (work done by A,B and C in 1 hour) – ( work done by A And B in 1 hr.)

= 1/8 – (1/20 + 1/24)

= 1/8 – 11/120

= (15-11)/120 (by taking LCM for 8 and 120 which is 120)

= 4/120

= 1/30

∴ Time taken by C alone to complete the work = 1/(1/30) = 30hours.

7. A and B can do a piece of work in 18 days; B and C in 24 days and A and C in 36 days. In what time can they do it, all working together?

Solution:

The given details are,

A and B can do a piece of work in = 18 days

Work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/18

B and C can do a piece of work in = 24 days

Work done by B and C in 1 day = 1/24

A and C can do a piece of work in = 36 days

Work done by A and C in 1 day = 1/36

By adding A, B and C we get,

2(A+B+C) one day work = 1/18 + 1/24 + 1/36

= (4+3+2)/72 (by taking LCM for 18, 24 and 36 which is 72)

= 9/72

= 1/8

A+B+C one day work = 1/(8×2) = 1/16

∴ A, B and C together can finish the work in = 1/(1/16) = 16days.

8. A and B can do a piece of work in 12 days; B and C in 15 days; C and A in 20 days. How much time will A alone take to finish the work?

Solution:

The given details are,

A and B can do a piece of work in = 12 days

Work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/12

B and C can do a piece of work in = 15 days

Work done by B and C in 1 day = 1/15

A and C can do a piece of work in = 20 days

Work done by A and C in 1 day = 1/20

By adding A, B and C we get,

2(A+B+C)’s one day work = 1/12 + 1/15 + 1/20

= (5+4+3)/60 (by taking LCM for 12, 15 and 20 which is 60)

= 12/60

= 1/5

A+B+C one day work = 1/(5×2) = 1/10

We know that,

A’s 1 day work = (A+B+C)’s 1 day work – (B+C)’s 1 day work

= 1/10 – 1/15

= (3-2)/30 (by taking LCM for 10 and 15 which is 30)

= 1/30

∴ A alone can finish the work in = 1/(1/30) = 30days.

9. A, B and C can reap a field in 15 ¾ days; B, C and D in 14 days; C, D and A in 18 days; D, A and B in 21 days. In what time can A, B, C and D together reap it?

Solution:

The given details are,

A, B and C can reap the field in = 15 ¾ days = 63/4 days

(A, B and C)’s 1 day work =1/(63/4) = 4/63

B, C and D can reap the field in = 14 days

B, C and D’s 1 day work = 1/14

C, D and A can reap the field in = 18 days

C, D and A’s 1 day work = 1/18

D, A and B can reap the field in = 21 days

D, A and B’s 1 day work = 1/21

Now adding (A+B+C+D),

3[A+B+C+D] = 4/63 + 1/14 + 1/18 + 1/21

= (8+9+7+6)/126

= 30/126

= 5/21

(A+B+C+D) = 5/(21×3) = 5/63

∴ A, B, C and D together can reap the field in = 1/(5/63) = 63/5 = 1235 days.

10. A and B can polish the floors of a building in 10 days. A alone can do ¼th of it in 12 days. In how many days can B alone polish the floor?

Solution:

The given details are,

A and B can polish a building in = 10 days

Work done by A and B in one day = 1/10

A alone can do 1/4th of work in = 12 days

A’s 1 day work = 1/(4×12) = 1/48

We know that,

B’s 1 day work = (A+B)’s 1 day work – A’s 1 day work

= 1/10 – 1/48

= (48-10)/480 (by taking LCM for 10 and 48 which is 480)

= 38/480

= 19/240

∴ B alone can polish the floor in = 1/(19/240) = 240/19 = 121219 days

Basic principals of physics

<!-- End Google Tag Manager -- Basic  principals of physics   We start from the following five basic principles to construct all other physical laws and equations. These five basic principles are: (1) Constituent principle: the basic constituents of matter are various kinds of identical particles. This can also be called locality principle; (2) Causality principle: the future state depends only on the present state; (3) Covariance principle: the physics should be invariant under an arbitrary coordinate transformation; (4) Invariance or Symmetry principle: the spacetime is homogeneous; (5) Equi-probability principle: all the states in an isolated system are expected to be occupied with equal probability. These five basic principles can be considered as physical common senses. It is very natural to have these basic principles. More important is that these five basic principles are consistent with one another. From these five principles, we derive a vast set of equations w...
