Question

    10 machines can produce 25 items in 5 hours. How long will

    8 machines take to produce 40 items?
    A 25 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 60 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 28 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the efficiency of each machine be 'x' items per hour

    Let the required time be 't' hours

    Therefore, (10x × 5) / 25 = (8x × t) / 40

    Or, t = (10x × 5 × 40) / (8x × 25) = 10

    Required time = 10 hours
