A conveyer belt delivers baggage at the rate of 3 tonne in 5 min and a second conveyer belt delivers baggage at the rate of 1 tonne in 2 min. How much time will it take to get 33 tonne of baggage using both conveyer belts ?
-
- 25 min and 30 s
- 30 min
- 35 min
- 40 min and 45 s
Correct Option: B
The weight of baggage deliver in 1 min by 1st belt = 3/5 tonne
The weight of baggage deliver in 1 min by 2nd belt = 1/2 tonne
The weight of baggage deliver in 1 min by both belt = 3/5 + 1/2 = 11/10 tonne
So, the two belts delivers 1 tonne in 10/11 min.
Hence, required time to deliver 33 tonne = (10/11) x 33 = 30 min
