It involves calculating the time taken by individuals or groups to complete a certain task, based on their efficiency. Questions are framed on real-life situations like workers completing jobs, filling tanks, or emptying pipe tanks. A strong understanding of this topic helps you solve related problems quickly during the exam. In this blog, we will tell you the full concept that you can solve the time and work questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-po-test-series\/?ref=13795\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Take a Free Mock Test &amp; Check Your&nbsp;Answering&nbsp;Speed<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-po-notification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>IBPS PO Notification 2025 Out- Click to Check<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Role of Time and Work Questions in Prelims <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the IBPS PO Prelims, Time and Work questions are generally simple and formula-based. They typically involve direct calculations where you need to find the time taken by two or more people to finish a task or vice versa. The most common methods used in these questions are the <strong>one-day work method<\/strong> and the <strong>LCM method<\/strong> to find efficiency. There are usually no complex conditions in prelim-level questions, making them scoreable if you know the basics. Candidates should focus on speed and accuracy since these questions carry equal marks and can be solved quickly compared to other arithmetic topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.practicemock.com%2Fs1pricing%2Findex.php%3Fc%3Dpremium&amp;ref=13795\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Banking-Pro-Course-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-148773\" style=\"width:840px;height:323px\" width=\"840\" height=\"323\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Study Resource for IBPS PO 2025 Exam  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we are providing the Quant, Reasoning, and English mock test series.

One-Day Work Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If A completes the work in 10 days:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A\u2019s 1-day work = 1\/10.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If B completes the same work in 15 days:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>B\u2019s 1-day work = 1\/15.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If A and B work together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Combined 1-day work = 1\/10+1\/15= 1\/6<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>So, they finish the work in 6 days.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. LCM Method for Easy Calculation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of fractions, assume the total work as the <strong>LCM of the given days<\/strong>.<br>Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A = 10 days, B = 15 days \u2192 LCM = 30 units.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A\u2019s efficiency = 30\/10=330\/10 = 330\/10=3 units\/day.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>B\u2019s efficiency = 30\/15=230\/15 = 230\/15=2 units\/day.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Together = 5 units\/day \u2192 Time = 30 \u00f7 5 = 6 days.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Alternate Day Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If A and B work on alternate days:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, calculate <strong>two-day work<\/strong> = A\u2019s 1-day work + B\u2019s 1-day work.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Divide the total work by the combined two-day work to find the number of full cycles.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then calculate the remaining work.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Pipes and Cisterns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Filling = <strong>Positive work<\/strong>, Emptying = <strong>Negative work<\/strong>.<br>Example:<br>A pipe fills in 12 hrs, another in 15 hrs, and an outlet empties in 10 hrs<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Partial Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If workers start together but one leaves after a few days:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Calculate work done by both first, subtract from the total, and then find the remaining work done by the other.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Work and Wages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wages are <strong>directly proportional to work done<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If A and B share work in a ratio of 2:3, wages will also be divided in a <strong>2:3<\/strong>.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.practicemock.com%2Fs1pricing%2Findex.php%3Fc%3Dpremium&amp;ref=13795\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Banking-Plus-Course-1.png\" alt=\"banking Plus Course\" class=\"wp-image-148628\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Top 10 Tips to Solve Time and Work Questions Effectively<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;1.&nbsp; Clear Your Basics First<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before jumping into tricky problems, make sure you clearly understand the relationship between time, work, and efficiency. Remember the simple rule: <strong>More efficiency = Less time<\/strong>, and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;2. Focus on the One-Day Work Concept<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the backbone of Time and Work problems. If a person finishes work in 12 days, their 1-day work is <strong>1\/12<\/strong>. Start every problem by finding this first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;3. Use Smart Shortcuts for Combined Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When two or more people work together, add their 1-day work. Example: A = 1\/10, B = 1\/15, together = <strong>1\/10 + 1\/15 = 1\/6<\/strong>. Avoid long steps by using fractions smartly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;4. Master the LCM Technique<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of working with fractions, assume the total work as <strong>LCM of the given days<\/strong>. This makes the calculation faster and helps in ratio-based problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;5. Break Down Complex Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For lengthy problems like \u201cA works for 3 days, then B joins,\u201d split the work into parts. Calculate what A did first, then how much is left, then assign it to B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;6. Visualize with Diagrams for Pipes and Cisterns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Treat each pipe as a worker. Filling pipes are positive, emptying pipes are negative. Visualizing this helps in solving these problems easily without confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;7. Watch for Alternate Day Traps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If A and B work on alternate days, calculate a <strong>2-day combined work cycle<\/strong> first. Then check if any extra day is needed for the leftover work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;8. Learn Efficiency and Ratio Tricks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If A is 50% more efficient than B, then A\u2019s efficiency is in the ratio <strong>3:2<\/strong>. This avoids extra calculations and saves time in exam conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Memorize Standard Percentage Changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In mains-level questions, sometimes workers become 20% less efficient or 25% more efficient. Learn to quickly apply percentage change to their time taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Practice, Practice, Practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to master Time and Work is by solving at least <strong>40-50 questions of different types<\/strong>\u2014basic, mixed, and main-level tricky problems. Regular practice improves speed and accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Time and Work is a scoring topic if your basics are clear. Always start by finding <strong>one-day work<\/strong> and then calculate the required time or efficiency. Using LCM helps simplify calculations for multiple workers. For mains-level problems, be prepared for tricky combinations and ratio-based questions. Regular practice and understanding the logic will help you attempt these questions quickly and accurately in the IBPS PO exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.practicemock.com%2Fs1pricing%2Findex.php%3Fc%3Dpremium&amp;ref=13795\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Your Shortcut to Success in IBPS PO \u2013 Click to Begin!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Click the link below to join our exclusive Telegram group for expert guidance, real-time doubt clearing, and personalized tips to boost your banking exam prep.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/bankgovtjobexamprep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>PracticeMock Telegram group Link<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-po\/ibps-po-exam-pattern\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IBPS PO Exam Pattern<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-po\/ibps-po-salary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IBPS PO Salary<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-po\/ibps-po-syllabus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IBPS PO Syllabus<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-po\/ibps-po-cut-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IBPS PO Cut Off<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.practicemock.com%2Fs1pricing%2Findex.php%3Fc%3Dpremium&amp;ref=13795\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1141\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Banking-Packages-Banner-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-152454\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753694720439\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Q1.
