CAT Question of the Day Tom, Dick and Harry are painting a wall in a house. The full efficiency of Dick is 50% less than the full efficiency of Tom and the full efficiency of Harry is 50% more than the full efficiency of Dick. Tom starts at full efficiency but due to bad health, his efficiency reduces by 20% every 2 hours. Dick and Harry work at their full efficiency. Together, the three of them start painting the wall today and finish it in 6 hours. Had Tom been alone today, at least how many hours would he have taken to definitely finish half the work?
Tip of the Day Make sure you practice both your strong and your weak areas in the Verbal Ability section. This will safeguard your score even in case of changes in the paper pattern. Last year's Question of the day (28-Sep-12) Answer the question based on the passage given below.
The Dome project was conceived, originally on a somewhat smaller scale, under John Major's Conservative government, as a Festival of Britain or World's Fair-type showcase to celebrate the third millennium. The incoming Labour government elected in 1997 under Tony Blair greatly expanded the size, scope and funding of the project. It also significantly increased expectations of what would be delivered. Just before its opening, Blair claimed the Dome would be "a triumph of confidence over cynicism, boldness over blandness, excellence over mediocrity". In the words of BBC correspondent Robert Orchard, "the Dome was to be highlighted as a glittering New Labour achievement in the next election manifesto".
