Alok worked on a set of mathematics4problems for 20 minutes and finished 1 ofit. He then called Asha. Working together,they finished the complete set in 22minutes. How long would Alok and Ashahave taken to finish the set individually? |

Answer» Alok has taken 20 mins to solve 4/15 problems. Then he needs 5 mins to solve a single problem.Asha comes and helps to solve the left 11/15 problems in 22 mins together. Each problem is given 2 mins. The effort (5 mins) of each math of Alok is reduced by Asha by 3 mins, i.e., 5-2=3.So Asha can solve a single math in 3 mins.So, Alok would take 75 mins to solve the complete set alone and Asha alone would take 45 mins to solve the whole set. |
