A) 2.25 minutes; 53 pallets B) 2.5 minutes; 48 pallets C) 3 minutes; 40 pallets D) 1,5 minutes; 80 pallets

Answer 1

B 2.5 minutes; 48 pallets

Answer 2

Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pallets worker moved in a warehouse = 108

Number of hours it takes to do so = 4.5

Rate at which they require to move one pallet is given by

`(4.5)/(108)* 60\ minutes=2.5\ minutes`

Now, if the worker will be off the clock in 2 hours ,

So, number of pallets he can move before quitting time is given by

`\text{ In 4.5 hours, number of pallets they moved}=108\\\\\text{ In 1 hour, number of pallets they moved}=(108)/(4.5)=24\\\\\text{ In 2 hours, number of pallets they moved}=24* 2=48`

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
