Answers
Ashish will finish the painting of the remaining idol in 11 minutes.
• Let the total idol be taken as 1.
• Given,
Time taken by Ashish to paint the entire idol alone = 20 minutes
=> Part of the idol painted by Ashish in 1 minute = 1 / 20
• Also given,
Time taken by Chinki to paint the entire idol alone = 25 minutes
Part of the idol painted by Chinki in 1 minute = 1 / 25
• Part of the idol painted by Ashish and Chinki together in 1 minute = ( 1 / 20) + ( 1 / 25 )
L.C.M. of 20 and 25 is 100.
∴ ( 1 / 20) + ( 1 / 25 ) = [ (1 × 5) + (1 × 4) ] / 100
= (5 + 4) / 100
= 9 / 100
• Part of the idol painted by Ashish and Chinki together in 5 minutes = ( 9 / 100 ) × 5
= ( 9 × 5 ) / 100
= 9 / 20
• Now, part of the idol still left to be painted = 1 - ( 9 / 20 )
= [ (1 × 20) - 9 ] / 20
= ( 20 - 9 ) / 20
= 11 / 20
• Since Chinki leaves after 5 minutes, 11 / 20 parts of the idol has to be painted by Ashish alone.
• As stated before, Ashish takes 20 minutes to paint the entire idol, therefore, he will take lesser time to paint 11 / 20 parts of the idol.
• Thus, time taken by Ashish to paint 11 / 20 parts of the idol = (11 / 20) × 20 minutes = 11 minutes (Answer)
