Question 15

A contractor estimated that one of his two bricklayers would take $9$ hours to build a certain wall and the other $10$ hours. However, he knew from experience that when they worked together, their combined output fell by $10$ bricks per hour. Being in a hurry, he put both men on the job and found that it took exactly $5$ hours to build the wall. The number of bricks in the wall was:
  1. $500$
  2. $550$
  3. $900$
  4. $950$
  5. $960$
