Correct Answer: 8 hours 15 minutes


Solution : Pages typed by Suresh in one hour = $\frac{40}5 = 8$ pages
Pages typed by Anil in one hour = $\frac{32}6$ = $\frac{16}3$ pages
Pages typed by Suresh and Anil in one hour = $8 + \frac{16}{3} = \frac{40}3$ pages
Time taken by them to complete $110$ pages
= $\frac{110}{\text{Pages completed in an hour by Anil and Suresh}}$ hours
= $\frac{110}{\frac{40}{3}}$ hours
= $\frac{33}{4}$ hours
= $8$ hours $15$ minutes
Hence, the correct answer is 8 hours 15 minutes.
