A ma and a boy pick banana.The man can pick twice as the boy If they work steadily .They work together for one hour but the boy takes rest in the meantime. At the end of the hour the man has picked 3/4 bananas has gathered .How long did the bboy rest

Answer 1

The boy did not pick any bananas during the hour and rested the whole time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the boy picks x bananas in one hour. Since the man picks twice as many bananas as the boy, he picks 2x bananas in one hour.

Together, they pick x + 2x = 3x bananas in one hour.

Given that the man has picked 3/4 of the bananas, we can set up the equation:

3/4 = 3x / (x + 2x)

Now we can solve for x to find out how many bananas the boy picked. Multiplying both sides of the equation by (x + 2x) gives us:

3/4 * (3x + 2x) = 3x

9x + 6x = 12x = 3/4 * 3x

15x = 9x

6x = 0

x = 0

Since x = 0, it means the boy did not pick any bananas. Therefore, he did not pick any bananas during the hour and rested the whole time.
