Fruits were purchased for Rs 350. 9 boys ate of them in 2 hours. 6 boys feel their stomach as full so do not eat further. In how many hours the remaining fruits will get finished by remaining boys?
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 4
Given:
- 9 boys ate of fruits in 2 hours
- Then 6 boys stop eating, leaving 3 boys
- Remaining portion = of fruits
Let's find the time needed for 3 boys to eat the remaining fruits:
Rate at which fruits are eaten:
- 9 boys eat in 2 hours
- 9 boys eat per hour
For remaining boys:
- 3 boys eat per hour (Divided by 3 because there are 3 boys now)
- They need to eat portion
Time needed =
hours
Therefore, it will take 4 hours for the remaining fruits to be finished.
