 Total Work = Efficiency × Time

 Time =
 In Logical Approach, We can find Total Work by taking LCM of Number of Days.
 If A can do a piece of work is x days and B can do a piece of work is y days, then both of
them working together will do the same work in
Days
 If A can finish part of the work in D days . Then, total time taken to finish the work by
A=Dx days
 If A alone can do a certain work in 'x' days and A and B together can do the same work in
'y' days then B alone can do the same work in
Days
 The comparison of rate of work done is called efficiency of doing work.
Efficiency (E) ∝
E1 : E2 : E3 = : :

 Stream :The moving water in a river is called a stream.

 Upstream : If the boat is flowing in the opposite direction to the stream, it is called upstream. In this
case, the net speed of boat is called upstream speed.
 Downstream : If the boat is flowing along the direction of the stream, it is called downstream. In this

water is zero.

 Total Work = Efficiency × Time

 The comparison of rate of work done is called efficiency of doing work.

 Amount of water released or filled = Rate × time.

Required time = Hours

Required time = Hours

 Distance = D, Speed = S, Time = T

 Distance is usually measured in meters (m),

Case2: If Time is Constant D ∝ S

Case 3 : If Speed is Constant D ∝ T

 If a bus travels from A to B with the speed of x

 If a man travels different distances d 1, d2, d3, .....
