If 12 furnaces consume 13 tonnes of coal in \(6\frac{1}{2}\) hours, how long will 7 furnaces be consuming 14 tonnes?1). 11 hrs2). 10 hrs3). 12 hrs4). 15 hrs

Answer»

Concept: If M1 Persons can do a work W1 in H1 hours and M2 persons can do a work W2 in H2 hours then we have a general formula in this case.

$(\frac{{{M_1}{H_1}}}{{{W_1}}} = \frac{{{M_2}{H_2}}}{{{W_2}}})$

If 12 furnaces consume 13 tonnes of coal in $(6\frac{1}{2})$ hours, then for 7 furnaces for consuming 14 tonnes

We have, M1 = 12 furnaces

W1= 13 tones

H1 = $(6\frac{1}{2} = \frac{{13}}{2}\;hours)$

M2 = 7 furnaces

W2 = 14 tones

Let H2 = H hours

By putting all these values in the above general formula

$(\begin{array}{l} \frac{{12 \times \frac{{13}}{2}}}{{13}} = \frac{{7 \times H}}{{14}}\\ \RIGHTARROW \;H\; = \frac{{12 \times 13 \times 14}}{{2 \times 7 \times 13}} = 12hours\; \end{array})$
