Directions (Q.6-10): In each of these questions, two equations (I) and (II) are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer
1) if x > y
2) if x < y
3) if x ≥ y
4) if x ≤ y
5) if x = y or relation cannot be established between 'x' and 'y'.

Answers:

1.  (b)1 man’s 1 day’s work  1 woman’s 1 day’s work
Work done in 12 days
Remaining work
(16 men + 16 women)’s 2 days’ work
Remaining work
  work is done in 1 day by 1 man.
  work will be done in 2 days by men.

2. (a)1 man’s 1 day’s work  1 woman’s 1 day’s work
6 men’s 2 days’ work  Remaining work .
Now,  work is done in 1 day by 1 woman.
So,  work will be done in 3 days by  women.

3. (e)  men can complete the work in 1 day.
  1 man’s 1 day’s work
7 men’s 5 days’ work  Remaining work
5 men’s 1 day’s work
  work is done by them in 1 day.
  work is done by them in  days=9  days.

4. (b)   women can complete the work in 1 day.
  1 woman’s 1 day’s work
 men can complete the work in 1 day.
  1 man’s 1 day’s work
So, required ratio

5.  (c) (A+B)’s 1 day’s work
Work done by B in 23 days  Remaining work
Now,  work was done by  in  days.
  A left after 9 days.

6.  5

7.  2

8.  3
