  • 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

  • Correct Answer
  • 8 hours 15 minutes 

    Explanation

    Number of pages typed by Ravi in 1 hour = 32 = 16 .
    6 3

    Number of pages typed by Kumar in 1 hour = 40 = 8.
    5

    Number of pages typed by both in 1 hour = 16 + 8 = 40 .
    3 3

    ∴ Time taken by both to type 110 pages = 110 x 3 hours
    40

    = 8 1 hours (or) 8 hours 15 minutes.
