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?
7 hours 30 minutes
8 hours
8 hours 15 minutes
8 hours 25 minutes
Answer: Option
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

Therefore Time taken by both to type 110 pages = ( 110 x 3 ) hours
40

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

@All.

In 25min and 15min it is;
8.25 hrs = 8hrs + 0.25hrs,
0.25hrs = 15min.
So, the answer is 8hrs 15min.

Ravi takes 6 hours to type 32 pages =>7.5 hours to type 40 pages.
Kumar takes 5 hours to type 40 pages.
if they work together & assignment of 110 pages.
WKT after 7.5, 40 pages of Ravi + 40 of Kumar + 20 pages of Kumar = 100 pages - 7 hours 30 mins.
110 pages.
We get 8 hours and 15 min.
