Question

# Ram takes  512 minutes to reach office, whereas Raghu takes 323 minutes. What is the difference in time taken by the two?5311311652

Solution

## The correct option is C 116Let us first convert the mixed fractions 323 and 512 into improper fractions. 323=(3×3)+23=113 and 512=(5×2)+12=112 Now, difference in time taken by Ram and Raghu to reach office is given by 512−323.  Now, 512−323=112−113                          =11×32×3−11×23×2 =336−226                         =(33−22)6=116  Thus, the difference in time taken by Ram and Raghu to reach office is 116 minutes.
