Hi there,

Could you explain the concept of this DS in simplest way

Machines X and Y work at their respective constant rates. How many more hours does it take
machine Y, working along, to fill a production order of a certain size than it takes machine X,
working alone?

(1) Machines X and Y, working together, fill a production order of this size in two-thirds the time
that machine X, working alone, does.

(2) Machine Y, working alone, fills a production order of this size in twice that machine X,
working alone, does.

Since the question is asking for hours and since none of the statements give info of hours, the answer is E...is my reasoning correct?
