One worker assembles 1 instrument in t minutes.

One worker assembles 60/t instruments in one hour. ( Unitary method or if you put t = 60 mins it comes to 1 instrument per hour)

One worker assembles 60/t * 7.5 instruments in given time.

One worker assembles 450 / t instruments then n workers would n times that or 450n/t instruments.

Hence Option (A) is our choice.

Best,

Rate of 1 worker =\(\frac{1}{t}\)

Say, work = W

Then, Workers * Rate * Time = Total Work

\(n * \frac{1}{t} * 7.5 = W\)

\(\frac{450n}{t}\) = W

Hence A

Another option is to assume values. Say 1 worker assembles 1 instrument in 30 mins (t = 30).
In 7.5 hrs, 1 worker will assemble 15 instruments.
Put n = 1 and t = 30 in options. You should get 15 from the correct answer.

Only option (A) gives you 15.

I want to ask for a moment why 1 / t is the worker ratio
and "Workers * Rate * Time = Total Work" Can you tell me about this , it seems the shortest and easiest to do

Alright ,

1 worker is cutting 60 apples in 60 minutes. What will be his rate of cutting?

Work = Time * Rate * No. of workers

Rate = Work / (Time * No. of workers)

Rate = 60 / (60 * 1)

Rate = 1/1 or 1 apple per minute

But time is given as "t" in the question and not exactly in minutes or hours.

Therefore, Rate = \(\frac{1(work-instrument) }{ [t(time) * 1(no. of worker)}\)
