George takes 8 hours to copy a 50 page manuscript while Sonya can copy the same manuscript in 6 hours. How many hours would it take them to copy a 100 page manuscript, if they work together?
George takes 8 hours to copy a 50 page manuscript, => Efficiency of George = $$\frac{50}{8}=\frac{25}{4}$$ pages/hr
Similarly, Sonya's efficiency = $$\frac{50}{6}=\frac{25}{3}$$ pages/hr
=> Work done by them working together in 1 hr = $$\frac{25}{3}+\frac{25}{4}=\frac{175}{12}$$
$$\therefore$$ Time taken when they work together to finish a 100 page manuscript = $$\frac{100}{\frac{175}{12}}$$
= $$100\times\frac{12}{175}=\frac{48}{7}=6\frac{6}{7}$$ hours
=> Ans - (A)
