Machine X is 3 times as efficient as Machine Y. If Machine Y prints 1000 pages in a day, how many pages can Machine X print in 2 days? Correct Answer 6000

Given:

Machine X is 3 times as efficient as Machine Y. Machine Y prints 1000 pages in a day.

Formula used:

/ W1 = / W2, where, E is efficiency, D is the number of days, and W id work done.

Calculation:

Let the required number of pages that can be printed by X in 2 days be ‘W”

According to the question:

3 × 2 × 1/W = 1 × 1 × 1/1000

⇒ W = 3 × 2 × 1000 = 6000 pages

∴ Machine X print 6000 in 2 days
