    C 11:00 am Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Fraction of the dishes prepared by Chef X in 1 hour = 1/5 Fraction of the dishes prepared by Chef Y in 1 hour = 1/10 Fraction of the dishes prepared by Chef Z in 1 hour = 1/15 тИ┤ Fraction of the dishes prepared by all three chefs in 1 hour = 1/5 + 1/10 + 1/15 = 11/30 Also, Fraction of dishes prepared by Chef X and Chef Z in hour = 1/5 + 1/15 = 4/15 From 8 am to 10 am, all the Chefs were working. They all worked for 2 hours. тЗТ Fraction of the dishes prepared = 2 * 11/30 = 11/15 тИ┤ Pending fraction of dishes = 1 - 11/15 = 4/15 тИ┤ Time taken by Chef X and Chef Z to prepare the remaining dishes = (4/15)/(4/15) = 1 hour = 60 min. тЗТ The brunch will be ready at 11:00 am. ┬а
