DIRECTION FOR QUESTIONS:

Answer the questions based on the following information.

Alord received a large order for stitching school uniforms from May Flower School and Little Flower School. He has two cutters who will cut the fabric, five tailors who will do the stitching, and two assistants to stitch the buttons and button holes. Each of these nine persons will work for exactly 10 hr a day. Each of the May Flower uniforms requires 20 min for cutting the fabric, 1 hr for stitching, and 15 min for stitching buttons and button holes, whereas the Little Flower uniform requires 30 min, 1 hr, and 30 min respectively for these activities.

Question: On a particular day, Alord decided to complete 20 Little Flower uniforms. How many May Flower uniforms can he completed on that day?

Explanation:

To complete 20 Little Flower uniforms,
Time consumed by Cutters = 20 x 30 = 600 mins
Time consumed by Tailors = 20 x 60 = 1200 mins
Time consumed by Assistants = 20 x 30 = 600 mins
Time available for Cutters = (1200 – 600) = 600 mins
Time available for Tailors = (3000 – 1200) = 1800 mins
Time available for Assistant = (1200 – 600) = 600 mins
Max. No. of uniform that 2 cutters can cut for May Flowers uniform in a day = 600/20 = 30
Time required to stitch 30 uniforms = (30 x 60) = 1800 min and is exactly equal to the time available for tailors. Hence No. of Mayflower uniform that can be completed on that day is 30.
