Machine P’s one hour work = 1/8 Machine Q’s one hour work = 1/10 Machine R’s one hour work = 1/12 Machine (P + Q + R)’s one hour work = 1/8 + 1/10 +1/12 = (15 + 12 + 10)/120 = 37/120 For two hours (9:00 am to 11:00 am) work done by (P + Q + R) = 2 × 37/120 = 74/120 Remaining work = 1 – 74/120 = 46/120 = 23/60 (Q + R)’s one hour work = 1/10 + 1/12 = (6 + 5)/60 =11/60 Since machine P is closed at 11 a.m. and the remaining two machines complete the work 11/60 of work is completed by (Q + R) in one hour 23/60 of work will be completed by (Q + R) in (23/60 × 60/11) = 23/11 hours ≈ 2.09 hours Thus, (Q + R) work for nearly 2 more hours to finish the work. Therefore, approximately at 1:00 p.m. the work will be finished.Related questions
