Ram and Hari can cut 12 kgs nuts in 2 days. After 5 days, Hari left the work. Ram took 8 more days to cut the rest of the nuts. If total of 58 kgs of nuts were cut, the time taken by Hari to cut 10 kg of nuts is
-
- 1 days
- 2 days
- 3 days
- 4 days
Correct Option: D
| Nuts cut by Ram and Hari in 1 day = | kg = 6kg. .....(i) | |
| 2 |
Nuts cut by them in 5 days = 30 kg.
Amount of nuts cut by Ram alone = 58 – 30 = 28 kg.
Time = 8 days
| ∴ Nuts cut by Ram in 1 day = | = 3.5 kg. | |
| 8 |
7there4; From equation (i),
Nuts cut by Hari in 1 day = (6 – 3.5) kg. = 2.5 kg.
| ∴ Time taken by Hari in cutting 10 kg. of nuts = | = 4 days | |
| 2.5 |
