A takes 16 days to finish a task. In how many days will A do 1/4th?
Correct answer: B. 4
- A. 3
- B. 4
- C. 5
- D. 6
Explanation
The correct answer is 4 days. Since A takes 16 days to complete the entire task, to find out how many days it takes to complete 1/4 of the task, divide 16 by 4. This results in 4 days. Option A (3 days) is incorrect because 3/16 is less than 1/4. Option C (5 days) is incorrect as 5/16 is more than 1/4. Option D (6 days) is also incorrect because 6/16 simplifies to 3/8, which is greater than 1/4.

About Logical Problems
Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
