Three men and eight machines can finish a job in half the time taken by three machines and eight men to finish the same job. If two machines can finish the job in $13$ days, then how many men can finish the job in $13$ days?

The rate of water flow through three pipes A, B and C are in the ratio 4 : 9 : 36. An empty tank can be filled up completely by pipe A in 15 hours. If all the three pipes are used simultaneously to fill up this empty tank, the time, in minutes, required to fill up the entire tank completely is nearest to

A tank is fitted with pipes, some filling it and the rest draining it. All filling pipes fill at the same rate, and all draining pipes drain at the same rate. The empty tank gets completely filled in $6$ hours when $6$ filling and $5$ draining pipes are on, but this time becomes $60$ hours when $5$ filling and $6$ draining pipes are on. In how many hours will the empty tank get completely filled when one draining and two filling pipes are on?

Anu, Vinu and Manu can complete a work alone in 15 days, 12 days and 20 days, respectively. Vinu works everyday. Anu works only on alternate days starting from the first day while Manu works only on alternate days starting from the second day. Then, the number of days needed to complete the work is

Pipes $A$ and $C$ are fill pipes while Pipe $B$ is a drain pipe of a tank. Pipe $B$ empties the full tank in one hour less than the time taken by Pipe $A$ to fill the empty tank. When pipes $A$, $B$ and $C$ are turned on together, the empty tank is filled in two hours. If pipes $B$ and $C$ are turned on together when the tank is empty and Pipe $B$ is turned off after one hour, then Pipe $C$ takes another one hour and $15$ minutes to fill the remaining tank. If Pipe $A$ can fill the empty tank in less than five hours, then the time taken, in minutes, by Pipe $C$ to fill the empty tank is

A contractor agreed to construct a $6$ km road in $200$ days. He employed $140$ persons for the work. After $60$ days, he realized that only $1.5$ km road has been completed. How many additional people would he need to employ in order to finish the work exactly on time?

Two pipes $A$ and $B$ are attached to an empty water tank. Pipe $A$ fills the tank while pipe $B$ drains it. If pipe $A$ is opened at $2$ pm and pipe $B$ is opened at $3$ pm , then the tank becomes full at $10 \mathrm{pm}$. Instead, if pipe $A$ is opened at $2 \mathrm{pm}$ and pipe $B$ is opened at $4 \mathrm{pm}$, then the tank becomes full at $6 \mathrm{pm}$. If pipe $B$ is not opened at all, then the time, in minutes, taken to fill the tank is
