Computer A takes 3 minutes to process an input while computer B takes 4 minutes. If computers A, B and C can process an average of 15 inputs in one hour, how many minutes does Computer C alone take to process one input ?
|
|
Answer & Explanation

part processed by B in 1 minute = 1/4
Part processed by (A + B + C) in 1 minute = 45/60 = 3/4
∴ Part processed by C in 1 minute
= 3/4 - 1/3 - 1/4 = 9 - 4 - 3/12
= 2/12 = 1/6
∴ C will process 1 minute in 6 minutes
