A teacher grades 100 papers in 5 hours. After coffee, her speed drops by 20%. If she grades for 3 more hours, how many papers in total?
Correct answer: B. 148
- A. 145
- B. 148
- C. 150
- D. 155
Explanation
Initially, the teacher grades 100 papers in 5 hours, giving a speed of 20 papers per hour. After coffee, her speed drops by 20%, reducing it to 16 papers per hour. Over the next 3 hours, she grades 48 papers (16 papers/hour * 3 hours). Adding this to the initial 100 papers results in a total of 148 papers graded. Option A (145) miscalculates the papers graded after the speed drop. Option C (150) ignores the reduction in speed and calculates based on the initial rate. Option D (155) significantly overestimates by not accounting for the speed decrease.

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.
