Lathe machine A manufactures metal parts thrice as fast as lathe machine B. Lathe machine B manufactures 300 X-type bearings in 60 days. If each machine manufactures bearings at a constant rate, how many Y-type bearings does lathe machine A manufacturer in 10 days, if each Y-type bearing takes 2.5 times of the time taken to manufacturer each X-type bearing?

(A) 40
(B) 50
(C) 54
(D) 60
(E) 64


B manufactures in 60 days 300 x type
B manufactures in 1 days 5
So A manufactures in 1 days 15 x type

A manufactures in 2.5 days 15 Y type
so A manufactures in 10 days 60 y type

Given: Lathe machine A manufactures metal parts thrice as fast as lathe machine B. Lathe machine B manufactures 300 X-type bearings in 60 days.
Asked: If each machine manufactures bearings at a constant rate, how many Y-type bearings does lathe machine A manufacturer in 10 days, if each Y-type bearing takes 2.5 times of the time taken to manufacturer each X-type bearing?

Machine B:
Rate of manufacturing of X-type bearing = 300/60 = 5 bearings/day
Rate of manufacturing of Y-type bearing = 5/2.5 = 2 bearings/day

Machine A:
Rate of manufacturing of X-type bearing = 5*3 = 15 bearings/day
Rate of manufacturing of Y-type bearing = 2*3 = 6 bearings/day
Number of Y-type bearings manufactured in 10 days = 6*10 = 60 bearings

IMO D
