Question

    Ram can produce 5 pots in a day. Rahul is 40% faster than Ram in pot-making. Together, they work for a period of 55 days, resulting in the production of (x - 40) pots. Determine the value of 'x'.

    A 660 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 620 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 840 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 720 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Number of pots made by Rahul in a day = 5 X 1.4 = 7 So, combined efficiency of Ram and Rahul = 5 + 7 = 12 pots/day So, total number of pots made if Ram and Rahul work together for 55 days = 12 X 55 = 660 pots Given, x - 40 = 660 So, x = 660 + 40 = 700
