A can do a particular work in 6 days . B can do the same work in 8 day...
Combined work rate = 1/6 + 1/8
= 4/24 + 3/24 (common denominator)
= 7/24
work done by a and b in 3 days
= 3 × 7/24
= 21/24
= 7/8
payment to a and b
= 3200 × 7/8
= ₹2800
so the rest would be of C
=3200 - 2800
= ₹400
A can do a particular work in 6 days . B can do the same work in 8 day...
Given data:
- First rabbit covers 8% of the distance between the two rabbit holes in 3 hours
- Second rabbit covered 7/120 of the distance in 2 hours 30 minutes
- First rabbit travelled 800 feet to the meeting points
To find: Speed of the second rabbit in feet/hour
Calculation:
Let the distance between the two rabbit holes be D feet
Let the speed of the first rabbit be x feet/hour
Let the speed of the second rabbit be y feet/hour
- According to the question, the first rabbit covered 8% of the distance in 3 hours
- Therefore, the speed of the first rabbit (x) can be calculated as:
- (8/100)D = x * 3
- x = 0.08D/3
- x = 0.0267D feet/hour
- According to the question, the second rabbit covered 7/120 of the distance in 2.5 hours
- Therefore, the speed of the second rabbit (y) can be calculated as:
- (7/120)D = y * (5/2)
- y = (7/120)D * (2/5)
- y = 0.0233D feet/hour
- The first rabbit travelled 800 feet to the meeting point
- Therefore, the distance travelled by the second rabbit can be calculated as:
- D - 800 feet
- Now, we know that both rabbits covered the same distance to reach the meeting point
- Therefore, we can equate the distance covered by the first and second rabbits
- 0.08D * t = (D - 800) * 0.0233D
- t = (D - 800) * 0.0233D / 0.08D
- t = (D - 800) * 0.2913 hours
- We know that the total time taken by both rabbits to reach the meeting point is the same
- Therefore, we can equate the time taken by the first and second rabbits
- 3 + t = 2.5 hours
- t = 2.5 - 3
- t = -0.5 hours (which is not possible)
- Therefore, our assumption that both rabbits start simultaneously is wrong
- Let's assume that the second rabbit started t hours after the first rabbit
- Therefore, the time taken by the first rabbit to reach the meeting point is:
- 3 hours
- And, the time taken by the second rabbit to reach the meeting point is:
- 2.5 + t hours
- We know that both rabbits covered the same distance to reach the meeting point
- Therefore, we can equate the distance covered by the first and second rabbits
- 0.08D * 3 = (D - 800) * 0.0233D * (2.5 + t)
- 0.24D = (D - 800) * 0.0233D * (2.5 + t)
- t = (0.24D / (0.0233D * (2.5 + t))) - (2.5)
- We can simplify this equation to get:
