Question

Ravi and Kumar are working on an assignment. Ravi takes 6 hours to type 32 pages on a computer, while Kumar takes 5 hours to type 40 pages. How much time will they take, working together on two different computers to type an assignment of 110 pages?

Options:
A .  7 hours 30 minutes
B .  8 hours
C .  8 hours 15 minutes
D .  8 hours 25 minutes
Answer: Option C

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
