1. A can do a piece of work in 24 days. A and B together can complete the same work in 14.4 days. In what time does B alone complete that work?

Sol: A and B together's one day's work = 1/14.4        

 A's one day's work = 1/24   

     B's one day's work = 1/14/4 - 1/24 = 1/36 

     B can complete the work in 36 days.

Shortcut: When two persons together can complete a work in 'x' days and one of the persons can complete in 'y' days, then the other person can complete that work in 

        xy/y-x days.   

        = 36 days

5. 16 men can do a piece of work in 16 days. 4 days after they started the work, 8 more men joined them. In how many days will they take to complete the remaining work?

Shortcut: Total mandays required for the work

                                        = 16 × 16 = 256

Number of mandays completed in 4 days

                                        = 4 × 16 = 64

Remaining mandays = 256 − 64 = 192

Number of men available now = 16 + 8 = 24

Number of days required = 192/24 = 8
