A printing press has two machines. One prints 600 pages/hour, the other 400. How long to print 10,000 pages if both work together?
Correct answer: B. 10
- A. 8
- B. 10
- C. 12
- D. 15
Explanation
To solve this problem, calculate the combined work rate of both machines. Machine 1 prints 600 pages/hour, and Machine 2 prints 400 pages/hour. Together, they print 600 + 400 = 1000 pages/hour. To determine the time required to print 10,000 pages, divide the total number of pages by the combined rate: 10,000 pages / 1000 pages/hour = 10 hours. Therefore, the correct answer is 10 hours. The other options are incorrect because they either underestimate or overestimate the combined printing rate, leading to incorrect time estimates.

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.
