Written Math:

1) 2 men and 5 women can do 1/4th of a job in 3 days. After 3 days 1 man joined the team and
they completed another 1/4th of the job in 2 days. How many men can complete the job in 4
days?
......
2) a, b, c, d, and e are five consecutive integers arranged in increasing order. If one of the
numbers is deleted from the sum of these five numbers, their sum reduces by 20%. Find the
number which was deleted.
3) Two types of rice costing Tk. 5 and Tk. 6 per kg respectively are mixed together and the
mixture is sold for Tk. 7 to make a 20% profit.
Find the ratio of the mixture.
2/m + 5/w = 1/(4x3) = 1/12 ----------- < i >
3/m + 5/w = 1/(4x2) = 1/8 ------------- < ii >

< ii > - < i > =
1/m = 1/24
m = 24.

24 day is taken by 1 man
4 day is taken by 24/4 = 6 men

1. ans. 2 men & 5 women in 3 days can do portion
2 men & 5 women in 1 days can do 1/12 portion (a)
3 men & 5 women in 2 days can do portion
3 men & 5 women in 1 days can do 1/8 portion (b)
So, 1 men in 1 days can do 1/8-1/12 =1/24 portion (b-a)
and 1 men in 4 days can do 4/24=1/6 portion
Hence, in 4 days 1/6 portion can do by 1 men
So, in 4 days 1 (full) portion can do by 6 men.
Ans.6 men.


1. a,b,c,d,e are consecutive number. Suppose, a=x
therefore b= x+1, c= x+2, d= x+3 and e= x+4
So, sum of them = 5x+10
According to qs, if one of a,b,c,d,e deleted 20% of the sum decreased. So the deleted number must
contribute 20% of the sum.
Now, 20% of the sum = (20/100) (5x+10) = x+2=c
therefore c was deleted. Ans.

3. Ans. let,
Rahim mixed x kg @Tk 5.
y kg @ Tk 6,
As per ques,1.2(5x+6y)=(x+y)7
>6x+7.2y=7x+7y
>x=0.2y
So x:y = 1:5
