Question - 1: A machine X can print one lakh books in 8 hours, machine Y can print the same number of
books in 10 hours while machine Z can print them in 12 hours. All the machines are started at 9 A.M.
while machine X is closed at 11 A.M. and the remaining two machines complete work. Approximately at
what time will the work be completed ?
Solution : X needs 8 days
Y needs 10 days
Z needs 12 days
Total work be 120 units [LCM of 8,10,12]
Efficiency of X = Total work / No. of days
= 120/8
= 15 units
X can do 15 units per day
Efficiency of Y = 120/10
= 12 units
Y can do 12 units per day
Efficiency of Z = 120/12
= 10 units
Z can do 10 units per day
Per day , total work by X+Y+Z = 15+12+10
= 37 units
From 9 AM to 11 AM , they do 2 hrs together
Then , X is closed. Finally Y+Z do the remaining task.
In 2 days , They do = 37 × 2 = 74 units
Remaining Task = 120 - 74 = 46 units
Which is done by Y+Z .
Combined efficiency of Y+X = 12+10 = 22 units
So , Time = Remaining work / Efficiency
= 46/22 = 2.09 hrs
So , The work completed at = 11 + 2.09 = 1.09 P.M.
Answer: 1.09 P.M.
