A dye company received an order of 400 litres of black dye and 360 litres of brown dye. It has two machines (X and Y) to make these dyes. X takes 4 hours to make 16 litres of black dye and 3 hours to make 9 litres of brown dye. Y takes 4 hours to make 12 litres of black dye and 3 hours to make 12 litres of brown dye. If the company has to deliver the order in 93 hours, its delivery will be delayed by at least

X can make 4 L/hr of black dye but only 3 L/hr of brown dye.
Y can make 4 L/hr of brown dye but only 3 L/hr of black dye.
Therefore let X make the black dye and Y make the brown dye.
In 93 hours, X would have made 93*4 = 372 L of black dye.
In 90 hours, Y would have made 90*4 = 360 L of brown dye. For the next 3 hours, it can make black dye as the brown dye is done.
So in 93 hours, total amount of black dye made = 372 L + 3*3 L = 381 L of black dye.
Amount of black dye remaining = 19 L
Rate of production of black dye = 3 L/hr (Y) + 4 L/hr (X) [as both are working on producing black dye now] = 7 L /hr
Amount of extra time required = 19/7 hours = 2 5/7 hours
Option (4) [or (D) in the usual form] is correct.

the maximum work will be when x deals with black and y with broun.
in 90 minutes y completes its work (360) and x completes 360 from 400.
so only 40 black are left. in common they complete 7 black.
so 40/7=5 and 5/7. together its 90+ 5 and 5/7-93
