A metal company's old machine makes bolts at a constant rate of 100 bolts per hour. The company's new machine makes bolts at a constant rate of 150 bolts per hour. If both machines start at the same time and continue making bolts simultaneously, how many minutes will it take the two machines to make a total of 550 bolts?  Select the correct option:  A) 36  B) 72  C) 120  D) 132  E) 180

Rationale: "old machine 100 bolts in 60 mins so , 5 / 3 bolts in 1 min new machine 150 bolts in 60 mins so , 5 / 2 bolts in 1 min together , 5 / 3 + 5 / 2 = 25 / 6 bolts in 1 min so , for 550 bolts 550 * 6 / 25 = 132 mins ans d"
Answer: D
