    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Number of pages typed by Ravi in 1 hour = 32 = 16 .
    6 3
    Number of pages typed by Kumar in 1 hour = 40 = 8.
    5
    Number of pages typed by both in 1 hour = 1-sym-oparen-h1 16 + 8 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 40 .
    3 3
    Therefore Time taken by both to type 110 pages = 1-sym-oparen-h1 110 x 3 1-sym-cparen-h1 hours
    40
    = 8 1 hours (or) 8 hours 15 minutes.
