• 1hr they work together =32/6+40/5=40/3
  time need to type assignment for 110 pages is 110/(40/3)=(110*3)/40=33/4=8hr25min

• Answer is C. 8:15 min
  ronald 1 hour page =32/6
  elan 1 hr page =40/5
  (r+s) 1 hr page will =32/6+40/5 = 40/3
  110 page will complete time is =110/(40/3)
  8:25
  i.e 8 hr and 0.25 hr {0.25hr =(1/4)th of an hour=(1/4)th of 60=15 minutes}
  There fore ans. is " C" and not "D "

• no pages typed by ronalds in 1hr=32/6=16/3
  no pages typed by elan in 1hr=40/5=8
  no pages typed by both in 1hr=16/3+8=40/3
  time taken to type to type110 pages is 3/40*110=8 hr15min

• Total pages they both type together in 1 hour-13.3 pages
  So 110 pages they can type in-110/(40/3)=8h 15 min

• 8 hour 25 minutes is the right one

• Number of pages typed by Ravi in 1 hour =32/6= 16/3
  Number of pages typed by Kumar in 1 hour = 40/5 = 8
  Number of pages typed by both in 1 hour = ( 16/3 + 8 ) = 40/3 .
  Therefore Time taken by both to type 110 pages = ( 110 x 3/40 ) hours
  = 8 hours 15 minutes.

• Ronald=32/6
  Elan=40/5
  (32/6)+(40/5)=110
  16/3+8=110
  40/3=110
  110*3/40=33/4
  8 hours 15 min
