Reasoning: Number of pages typed by Ronald in 1 hour = 32/6 = 16/3
Number of pages typed by Elan in 1 hour = 40/5 = 8
Number of pages typed by both in 1 hour = (16/3 + 8) = 40/3
Time taken by both to type 110 pages = (110 * 3/40) = 8 1/4 = 8 hrs 15 min
Ans: (C)
Question: Ronald and Elan are working on an assignment. Ronald takes 6 hrs to type 32 pages on a computer, while Elan takes 5 hrs to type 40 pages. How much time will they take, working together on two different computers to type an assignment of 110 pages?
Options:
(A) 8 hrs 85 min
(B) 8 hrs 18 min
(C) 8 hrs 15 min

(E) 3 hrs 15 min
Rationale: 1 man's 1 day work = 1/100
(10 men + 15 women)'s 1 day work = 1/6
15 women's 1 day work = (1/6 - 10/100) = 1/15
1 woman's 1 day work = 1/225
1 woman alone can complete the work in 225 days.
The answer: (E)
Question: 10 men and 15 women together can complete a work in 6 days. It takes 100 days for one man alone to complete the same work. How many days will be required for one woman alone to complete the same work?
Options:
(A) 2267
(B) 287
(C) 268
(D) 228
(E) 225
Rationale: Let the time taken be = x
One way distance = 63x
Total distance traveled = 2 * 63x = 126x
Total time taken = x + 2x = 3x
Average speed = 126x/3x = 42
The answer: (D)
Question: A car traveled from San Diego to San Francisco at an average speed of 63 miles per hour. If the journey back took twice as long, what was the average speed of the trip?
