Question

In a day, Ram spends half of his day sleeping and eating. After that he spends one-third of his day in the school. Out of the remaining hours of the day a quarter goes in doing his home. Ram usees the rest of his time to play sports. For how many hours does Ram play sports?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is C 3

Now, we know that in a day there are 24 hours.

Ram spends half of the day in sleeping and eating, so we multiply half with 24 to find the number of hours he spends in this task.
$\frac{1}{2}\times 24=12hours$
After that, he spends one-third of his day in school. So, the number of hours spend in school is equal to
$frac13\times 24=8hours$
So, this means that $12+8=20hours$ are spend in the first two activities. Now Ram has only 4 hours left in his day.

Out of these 4 hours, a quarter or one-fourth or $\frac{1}{4}$ is spend in doing homework.
$\frac{1}{4}\times 4=1hours$

In the end he is left with $4-1=3hours$ which is spend it playing sports.
Hence, the answer is $3$.
