A chef preps 60 meals in 5 hours. A second chef can prepare 80 meals in 4 hours. If they work together, how many meals in 3 hours?
Correct answer: C. 96
- A. 84
- B. 90
- C. 96
- D. 108
Explanation
To solve the problem, determine the rate at which each chef works. The first chef prepares 60 meals in 5 hours, so their rate is 12 meals per hour (60/5). The second chef prepares 80 meals in 4 hours, with a rate of 20 meals per hour (80/4). Combined, their rates are 12 + 20 = 32 meals per hour. Over 3 hours, they can prepare 32 * 3 = 96 meals. However, this is incorrect. The correct calculation should be: (12 + 20) * 3 = 96 meals. Thus, Option D is incorrect and should be 96, not 108.

About Logical Problems
Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
