Q:

A can write 32 pages in 6 hours and B can write 40 pages in 5 hours. If they write together, in how many hours they can write 110 pages ?

A) 7 hrs B) 6 hrs 10 min
C) 5 hrs 25min D) 8 hrs 15 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8 hrs 15 min

Explanation:

A can write in 1hour = 32/6 pages

Similarly, B in 1 hour = 40/5 pages

Together (A+B) in 1 hour = 32/6 + 40/5 = 40/3

So, A+B write 40/3 pages in 1 hour

A+B write 110 pages in (3/40) x 110 Hours = 8 hours 15 min.
