Let the total production order be of 60 units
\(1^{st}\) machine can fill the production order at 6 units per minute
\(2^{nd}\) machine can fill the production order at 5 units per minute
So, \(1^{st}\) and \(2^{nd}\) machine working togather can fill the production order at 11 units per minute
The total production order is of 60 units so the time taken to complete the order is - \(\frac{60}{5}\) = \(5 \frac{5}{11}\) minutes
Hence answer is (C) , \(5 \frac{5}{11}\) minutes
