Machine A produces nuts at a uniform rate of 23056 every 1048 seconds, and machine B produces nuts at a uniform rate of 91168 every 3256 seconds. If the two machines run simultaneously, how many seconds will it take them to produce a total of 1800 nuts?
1). 27
2). 36
3). 25
4). 30
Number of nuts produced by Machine A in one second = 23056/1048 = 22
No. nuts produced by Machine B in one second = 91168/3256 = 28
No. nuts produced when both Machine A & B work simultaneously = 22 + 28 = 50
Time taken to produce a total of 1800 nuts = 1800/50 = 36 sec
∴ Time taken to produce a total of 1800 nuts = 36 sec
