Small = 3 per second so in 1 min => 3*60 = 180
Large = 5/6 per second so in 1 min. => 5/6*60 = 50
Now the there are 10 containers so each container will get Small = 18 and Large = 5

A water bottling machine is designed to fill two types of bottles—small and large—at the same time.

It fills small bottles at a constant rate of 3 per second and large bottles at a constant rate of 5 every 6 seconds.

In one minute of continuous operation at these rates, the machine fills small and large bottles that are packed into exactly 10 shipping crates, with each crate containing the same number of small bottles and the same number of large bottles.

Select for Small Bottles and Large Bottles the number of small and large bottles, respectively, in each shipping crate. Make only two selections, one in each column.

The machine fills small bottles at a rate of 3 per second and large bottles at a rate of 5 every 6 seconds, which is equivalent to 5/6 of a large bottle per second. Over one minute (60 seconds) of continuous operation, it fills 3 × 60 = 180 small bottles and (5/6) × 60 = 50 large bottles. These bottles are packed into 10 identical shipping crates, meaning each crate contains the same number of each bottle type. Dividing the totals by 10, we find that each crate must contain 180 ÷ 10 = 18 small bottles and 50 ÷ 10 = 5 large bottles. Therefore, the correct selections are 18 small bottles and 5 large bottles per crate.

Number of small bottles manufactured in 60 seconds = 3*60 = 180 small bottles
Number of large bottles manufactured = 5 every 6 seconds = 50 every 60 seconds or 50 bottles per minute

If each crate has the same number of small & large bottles & there are 10 crates, then the value per crate would be (180/10=18 small bottles/crate) & (50/10= 5 large bottles/crate)

Hence the answer is Small bottles = 18 & Large bottles = 5

3 small bottles/sec and 5/6 large bottles/sec.

In one minute, 180 small bottles and 50 large bottles are produced.

A total of 10 crates with equal number of small bottles and large bottles in each crate.

Small bottles per crate = 180/10 = 18; (Option C)
Large bottles per crate = 50/10 = 5; (Option B)

Total small bottles are in one minute is 3*60=180 bottles ( 3 in every 1 second)
Total large bottles are in one minute is 5*10= 50 bottles as (5 in every 6 seconds)

Each crate as same no of large and small bottle and total crates are 10
so small bottle in each crate is 18
large bottle in each crate is 5

Small Bottles are filled on 3 bottles per second basis

Large Bottles are filled on 5 bottles per 6 second basis

Small Bottles filled in 1 min = 3*60=180 Small Bottles
Large Bottles filled in 1 min= 5*60/6= 50 Large Bottles
Total Bottles= 180+50= 230
Now 10 crates have equal no of large and Small Bottles

1 crate has 230/10 Bottles = 23 Bottles

1 Crate has small Bottles = 180/10= 18

1 Crate has large Bottles = 50/10= 5

Ans: S = 18 and L = 5

small bottles = rate of 3 per second
Large bottles = rate of 5 every 6 seconds.

In one minute of continuous operation at these rates,
3 * 60 = 180 small bottles are filled and
5/6 * 60 = 50 large bottles are filled
packed into exactly 10 shipping crates, with each crate containing the same number of small bottles and the same number of large bottles.

means each crate contains 180/10 = 18 small and 50/10 = 5 large bottles. [Ans]

Let’s break it down step by step:

1. Find how many bottles of each type the machine fills in one minute
  • Small bottles:
    Rate = 3 small bottles per second
    In 60 seconds ⇒ 3 × 60 = 180 small bottles
  • Large bottles:
    Rate = 5 large bottles every 6 seconds ⇒ that’s 5665 bottles per second
    In 60 seconds ⇒ 56×60=5×10=∗∗50largebottles∗∗65×60=5×10=∗∗50largebottles∗∗
2. Distribute those into 10 crates equally
We have 10 shipping crates, and each crate must have the same number of smalls and the same number of larges. So:
  • Small per crate:
    Total smalls 180 ÷ 10 crates = 18 small bottles per crate
  • Large per crate:
    Total larges 50 ÷ 10 crates = 5 large bottles per crate

A water bottling machine fills two types of bottles - Small (S) and Large (L) at the same time.

Rate of filling of small bottles = 3 bottles per second.

Rate of filling of Large bottles = 5 bottles per 6 seconds.

Hence, Rate of filling of Small bottles = 18 bottles per 6 seconds. ( Bringing all filling to same time ).

One minute of filling = 60 seconds = for Small (S) = 180 bottles per 60 seconds.

For large (L) = 50 bottles per 60 seconds.

The entire bottles filled in one minute is packed in EXACTLY 10 shipping crates. But, with a PRECONDITION - the number of small bottles and large bottles per crate is same.

Per Crate contains = 180/10 = 18 small bottles, and 50/10 = 5 Large bottles.

Number of Small bottles per crate = 18

Number of Large bottles per crate = 5

Rate of small bottle filled per sec = 3.
Rate of Large bottle filled per sec = 5 bottles/ 6 second
= (5/6)th of a bottle per second.
No of small bottles filled in a minute (60 seconds) = rate * 60
= 3*60
= 180. ( 18 in each of the 10 crates)

No of Large bottles filled in a minute = rate * 60

Total 230 packed in 10 crates of 23 bottles each with 5 Large bottle + 18 Small bottles.

We are given:
- Small bottles filled at 3 per second.
- Large bottles filled at 5 every 6 seconds.
First, calculate the total number of bottles filled in one minute (60 seconds):
For small bottles:
Rate = 3 bottles/second
Total small bottles = 3 * 60 = 180
For large bottles:
Rate = 5 bottles / 6 seconds
In one second: 5/6 bottles/second
Total large bottles = (5/6) * 60 = 50
These bottles are packed into 10 crates, with each crate having the same number of small bottles and the same number of large bottles.
So, per crate:
Small bottles = 180 / 10 = 18
Large bottles = 50 / 10 = 5
Therefore, each shipping crate contains 18 small bottles and 5 large bottles.
Select:
- Small Bottles: 18
- Large Bottles: 5

Number of small bottles filled in 1 min=60*3=180.
Number of big bottles in 1 min=5*60/6=50

now we have ten crates
so number of small bottles in 1 crate=180/10=18
number of big bottles=50/10=5

Compute total bottles filled in 60 seconds

Small bottles:
3 per second×60 seconds=180 small bottles

Large bottles:
5 per 6 seconds ×10=50 large bottles

To get bottles per crate, since there are 10 identical crates, so divide each total by 10:
Small bottles per crate = 180/10=18
Large bottles per crate = 50/10=5

rate of filling of small bottles = 3 bottles/s
rate of filling of large bottles = (5/6) bottles/s

Since number of bottles are same in all crate,
10 crates are filled in 60 sec => each crate filled in 6 sec

Let number of small bottles be S and number of large bottles be L
work done being same for filling large and small bottles

3*S = 5L/6
=> S/L = 5/18

Since one crate is filled in 6 sec, the multiplier cannot be 10 as in 6 sec 50 small and 180 large bottles cannot be filled

Hence small bottles = 5 and large bottles = 18 in one crate
