A video editor takes 5 minutes to edit 1 minute of footage. If the video is 30 minutes long and editing speed improves by 25%, total time required now?
Correct answer: C. 112.5 min
- A. 100 min
- B. 110 min
- C. 112.5 min
- D. 120 min
Explanation
Initially, the editor takes 5 minutes to edit 1 minute of footage, which translates to 150 minutes for a 30-minute video. With a 25% improvement in editing speed, the time required per minute of footage decreases by 25%, resulting in an effective editing time of 3.75 minutes per minute of footage (5 minutes * 0.75). Multiplying this new time per minute by 30 minutes of footage gives a total of 112.5 minutes, making Option C the correct choice. Options A (100 min) and B (110 min) underestimate the required time after the speed improvement, while Option D (120 min) fails to account for the speed increase.

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.
