When Jack picks olives for two hours at three times his regular speed, he picks 10 pounds of olives more than Mac working for five hours at 80% of his regular speed. Therefore, if Mac picks olives for one hour at double his regular speeds, and Jack picks olives for four hours at 75% of his regular speed, then
A. Jack picks double the amount of olives Mac picks
B. Mac picks 10 pounds more than Jack
C. Jack picks 10 pounds more than Mac
D. Mac picks 5 more pounds than Jack
E. Jack picks 5 more pounds than Mac
A. Jack picks double the amount of olives Mac picks
B. Mac picks 10 pounds more than Jack
C. Jack picks 10 pounds more than Mac
D. Mac picks 5 more pounds than Jack
E. Jack picks 5 more pounds than Mac

I think answer E.
Let speeds for jack and mac be j and m.
Think of their output as speed*hours.
Therefore
3j*2 = 10 + (4/5)m*5, simplifying and dividing by 2 we get 3j = 5 + 2m.
Now moving onto the second part,
Mac works at double his speed for one hour, which means his output is 2m*1 = 2m.
Jack works for four hours at (3/4) of his speed, which means his output is (3/4)j*4 = 3j
These new values correspond to the values that we see in our original equation, therefore jack's output is 5 more pounds.

Let \(R_j \) rate of Jack
Let \(R_m \) rate of Mac
Given
\(3R_j*2 - .80R_m *5 =10 \)
\(6R_j - 4R_m =10 \hspace{2mm} ( i ) \)
We need to find :
\(.75R_j *4 - 2R_m*1 \)
or
\(3R_j - 2R_m\)
Dividing eqn. \((i)\) by 2
We get :
\(3R_j - 2R_m = 5 \)
Ans- E
Hope it's clear.
