How to solve Time and Work problems in simpler steps, type 2 brief

thumb_How-to-solve-time-work-problems-in-simpler-steps-type2-brief

In 42 days 40 men complete a work. As it happened, instead of all of them working together to finish the job, they started working together, but at the end of every 10th day 5 men left. In how many days would then the work be completed? Rich time and work concept of Mandays technique along with natural number concepts deliver speedy solution...

C and A can do a piece of work in 20 days, B and C in 24 days, and A and B in 30 days. B and C leave after three of them work together for 10 days. In how many more days would A complete the work? Using rich concept of Work rate technique and solving the problem as far as possible in mind, without writing anything on paper, results in within a minute solution...

How to solve a hard CAT level Time and Work problem in a few confident steps 3

thumb_How to solve a hard CAT level time work problem in a few confident steps3

The conventional approach to math problem solving relies heavily on manipulation of terms using low level mathematical constructs without using the problem solving abilities of the student. Following only this approach to solving problems, students may tend to become used to mechanical and procedural thinking suppressing their inherent creative and innovative out-of-the-box thinking abilities. On the other hand, conceptual reasoning without firm mathematical base leads to confusion. In solving hard problems you need to strike a balance. In this third session on hard problem solving we have shown again how to do it...
