Answer: d. In front of Mr. Chips
Explanation:
This is based on the film, Goodbye, Mr. Chips, about a teacher who is initially disliked but respected by his students due to the strict discipline he imposes in his class. After meeting his wife however, he changes and becomes a nicer teacher.
In the movie, Mr. Chip's class was being disrupted by unruly students but due to the strict discipline imposed by Mr. Chips, they were well behaved in front of Mr. Chips.
The question is incomplete and the complete form of the question is as expressed below.
A worker can clean a pool in four hours less time than it takes another worker. If men work together, the job takes 8/3 hours. How long would it take the slower man working alone?
<h3>What is the hour(s) that will take the slower man?</h3>
Taking x to be the hour(s) for the slower man and (x-4) be the number of hours for the faster man working separately. Thus,
1/x+1/(x-4)=1/8/3
1/x+1/(x-4)=3/8
[(x-4)+x]=(x)(x-4)(3/8)
2x-4=(x^2–4x)(3/8)
16x-32=3x^2–12x
3x^2–28x+32=0
<h3>Factorisation</h3>
Factorise to solve the value of x:
There are 2 values of x for the factors: (3x-4)(x-8) =0
- 3x - 4 =0; 3x= 4; x = 4/3 or 1 1/3 hours (invalid due to the fact that it fits not for the slower man who will work alone for 4 hours slower than the faster man as it is only 4/3 hours which is lesser than 4 hours.
- x - 8 = 0; x = 8 hours (answer to be adopted because it is fit for the slower man to do the job separately for 4 hours lesser than the faster man.
Verify:
1/8 + 1/(8–4) = 1/8/3 =3/8
1/8 + 1/4 = 3/8
(1+2)/8 = 3/8
3/8 = 3/8
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 8 hours for the slower man to work alone.
