1) option: A (120 minutes)

2) option: A(96 minutes)

3) option: A

4) option: C

5) option: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Ques 1:

Let the total work be '240'  

                      filling pipe                  empty pipe                filling+empty pipe

 Time                 40 min                         60 min                                x

Efficiency          240/40=6                   240/60= -4                        6-4=2

The efficiency of empty pipe is negative as it lead to more time in filling.

Hence the time taken by both the pipe will be   =120 minutes.

Hence, option A is correct.

Ques 2:

Let the total work be '960'

                                 Annmarie             Gladys               Annmarie+Gladys

Time                           240 min                160 min                     x

Efficiency                  960/240=4            960/160=6             6+4=10

Hence, the time taken if they work together is:  

Hence, option A is correct.

Ques 3:

Let the total work be '1'  

                                 Brody           Hudson          Brody+Hudson

Time                          3 min                   x min                   5 min                    

Efficiency                     1/3                   -1/x                          1/5

the efficiency of Hudson is negative as he is taking out the candies.

since, efficiency of Brody+efficiency of hudson= efficiency of both

that means

Hence, option A is correct.

Ques 4:

Let the total work be '60'.

                          Leanne                   Karl                   Leanne+Karl

Time                      30 min                20 min                      x                  

Efficiency                 2                         3                              5

Hence, the time taken by both of them is:

Hence, option C is correct.

Ques 5:

Let the total work be '1'

                               Genna               Claude                   Genna+Claude

Time                         4 hrs                      3 hrs                          x hrs

Efficiency                   1/4                           1/3                          1/x

Since,  efficiency of Genna+Efficiency of Claude=Efficiency of both

that means    

Hence, option B is correct.

well the answer to that is xoxoxo
