Question

A total of 20 toys of a child are to be put in a box. Every 30 seconds 2 toys are put inside but 1 is thrown out by the child. How much time (in minutes) will it take to put all toys in the box for the first time?

A.

10

B.

9.5

C.

5

D.

10.5

Correct option is B

Given:

A total of 20 toys of a child are to be put in a box. Every 30 seconds 2 toys are put inside but 1 is thrown out by the child.

Solution:

In first 30 sec. we have 1 toys in the box.

In 1 min we have 2 toys in the box.

In similar fashion, in 9 min. we have 18 toys in the box.

But next 30 sec. makes the box full with 20 toys.

Hence it takes 9.5 min.

Final Answer: (b)
