P can do a work in 12 days. Q can do the same work in 8 days and R can do the same in 6 days. Q and R start the work and leave after 2 days. P finishes the remaining work in X days. What is the value of 1.1X?
OPtion
1) 4.5 days
2) 5.05 days
3) 4.75 days
4) 6.5 days
5) 5.0 days
6) 0.55 days
7) 5.75 days
8) 2.5 days
9) 5.5 days
10) None of these
Solution
Amount of work done by Q and R in 2 days = 2*(1/8 + 1/6) = 2*7/24 = 7/12
Amount of work remaining after 2 days = 5/12
Amount of work done by P in 1 day = 1/12
1/12 work is done by P in 1 day
5/12 work is done by P in 5 days
Hence X=5
So 1.1X = 1.1*5 = 5.5
Students attend our lectures, not because the mathematics we teach ‘makes lots of fun’ for us, but because they believe they can learn some essential knowledge from us. And each of our young students has only one life to live. We should therefore be a
