Question
Pari needs 4 hours to complete the work. His friend Yuvan needs 6 hours to complete the same work. How long will it take to complete if they work together?
Solution
Pari: time required to complete the work = 4 hrs.
∴ In 1 hr. she will complete = `1/4` of the work.
= `1/4"w"`.
Yuvan: Time required to complete the work = 6 hrs.
∴ In 1 hr. he will complete the = `1/6` of the work
= `1/6"w"`
Working together, in 1 hr. they will complete `"w"/4 + "w"/6` of the work.
= `(6"w" + 4"w")/24`
= `5/12` w
∴ To complete the total work time taken
= `"w"/(5/12"w")`
= `12/5`
= 2.4 hrs. ...[∵ (4) hrs = 4 × 60 = 24 min]
= 2 hrs 24 minutes.

Two farmers Thilagan and Kausigan cultivates three varieties of grains namely rice, wheat and ragi. If the sale (in ₹) of three varieties of grains by both the farmers in the month of April is given by the matrix.
`{:"April sale in" ₹)/("rice" "wheat" "ragi":}`
A = `[(500, 1000, 1500),(2500, 1500, 500)]"Thilagan"/"Kausigan"`
and the May month sale (in ₹) is exactly twice as that of the April month sale for each variety.
If the sales continue to increase in the same way in the successive months, what will be sales in the month of August?
