How's this sentence different from putting "in" in front of "ranking tasks"?

"Spent more time in ranking tasks" is grammatically incorrect, as the expression "to spend time" can use the preposition "on" or none at all. "In" is not used in combination with this expression. Thus, the only two ways to express this sentence are as follows: Ex: Spend time on ranking tasks. Ex: Spend time ranking tasks.
