If there are 150 questions in a 3 hr examination. Among these questions 50 are type A problems, which requires twice as much as time be spent on the rest of the type B problems. How many minutes should be spent on type A problems ? Correct Answer 90 min
Let X = Time taken for each of Type B Problems(100 Problems)And 2X = Time taken for each of Type A problems(50 problems)
Total time period = 3hrs = 3 x 60min = 180 minutes
100X + 50(2X) = 180100X + 100X = 180200X = 180 min
X = 180/200X = 0.90 min
By convertiing into seconds,
X = 0.90 x 60 secondsX = 54 sec
So, time taken for Part A problems is = 54 x 2 x 50 = 5400 seconds= 5400/60sec = 90 minutes.
