Question

Anuradha can do a piece of work in 6 hours. What part of the work can she do in 1 hour, in 5 hours, in 6 hours?

Answer 1

Let whole work be represented by W.

The part of work done by Anuradha in 6 hours = W

∴ The part of work done by her in 1 hour  = W/6

The part of work done by her in 5 hours = W/6 x 5 = 5/6 W

The part of work done by her in 6 hours = W/6 x 6 = W

Hence, Anuradha can do 1/6 part of work in 1 hour, 5/6 part of work in 5 hours and complete work in 6 hours.
