5 units = 4 hr ; 1 unit = 4/5hr
91$ = 20 units * 4 + 2 units * 5.5
Time taken = 22*4/5 = 17.6 = 17hr 36 min
135$ = 20 units * 4 + 10 units * 5.5
Time taken = 30*4/5 = 24 hr
Total time = 41hr 36 mins
91$ = 20 units * 4 + 2 units * 5.5
Time taken = 22*4/5 = 17.6 = 17hr 36 min
135$ = 20 units * 4 + 10 units * 5.5
Time taken = 30*4/5 = 24 hr
Total time = 41hr 36 mins

Solution
Given:
- • Jack works at a constant rate and he can produce 5 products at max in 4 hours
• For the first 20 units of product, he gets $4 per unit
• For each additional unit that he produces, he gets $5.5 per unit
• He earned $91 on the first day and $135 on the second day
To find:
- • The minimum time that Jack had worked on these two days combined
Approach and Working:
As Jack can produce maximum 5 units in 4 hours, in 1 hour he can produce 5/4 units.
- • If Jack has produced 20 units of the product on a day, he earns 20 * $4 = $80 on that day.
• If the amount earned is greater than $80, then it means he had produced more than 20 units.
- o In such case, he earns $5.5 for each additional unit.
o Thus, we can find the number of additional units by dividing the remaining amount by $5.5
On first day:
- • Jack earned $91, which is > $80,
- o Thus, number of additional units produced = \(\frac{($91 - $80)}{$5.5} = \frac{$11}{$5.5}= 2\)
• So, total units produced by Jack = 20 + 2 = 22
• Minimum time taken = \(22 * \frac{24 hours}{(the maximum number of products that Jack produce in one day)} = 22 * \frac{24 hours}{30} = 17.6 hours = 17 hours 36 minutes\)
On second day:
- • Jack earned $135, which is > $80,
- o Thus, number of additional units produced = \(\frac{($135 - $80)}{$5.5} = \frac{$55}{$5.5} = 10\)
• So, total units produced by Jack = 20 + 10 = 30
- o 30 is the maximum number of units that he can produce in a day \(5 units * \frac{(24 hours)}{(4 hours)}\)
o Thus, minimum time taken = 24 hours
Therefore, total minimum time taken = 17 hours 36 minutes + 24 hours = 41 hours 36 minutes
Hence, the correct answer is Option C
Answer: C
