It takes 6 technicians a total of 10 hours to build a new server from Direct Computer, with each working at the same rate. If six technicians start to build the server at 11 a.m. and one technician per hour is added beginning at 5 p.m., at what time will the server be complete?
Explanation:
6 technicians → 10 hours to 1 job
∴ 1 technician → 60 hours to 1 job
∴ In 6 hrs (11 a.m. - 5 p.m.)6 technicians → 35th of the work.
In the hour after 5p.m.,
7 technicians → 760th of the job.
In the nect hour, 9 technicians will complete 960th of the job.
∴ In 3 hours after 5:00 p.m. → 2460=25th of the job is complete.
∴ At the end of 9th hour i.e. 8:00 p.m. the work is complete.
Hence, option (d).
