Number of pages typed by Ravi in 1 hour = \(\frac{32}{6}=\frac{16}{3}\)
Number of pages typed by Kumar in 1 hour = \(\frac{40}{5}=8\)
Number of pages typed by both in 1 hour = \(\left(\frac{16}{3}+8\right)= \frac{40}{3}\)
So, Time taken by both to type 110 pages = \(\left(110\times\frac{3}{40}\right) hours\)
= \(8\frac{1}{4}\) hours (or) 8 hours 15 minutes
