Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Number of pages copied by Subhash in $ 1,h,=\frac{50}{10}=5 $ Number of pages copied by Subhash and Prakash in $ 1,h,=\frac{300}{40}=\frac{15}{2} $ Let time taken by Prakash to copy 30 pages = x h

$ \therefore $ Number of pages copied by Prakash in $ 1,h=\frac{30}{x} $ Now, according to the question, $ \frac{30}{x}+5=\frac{15}{2} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{30}{x}=\frac{15}{2}-5=\frac{5}{2} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{30}{x}=\frac{5}{2} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{2\times 30}{5} $

$ \therefore $ $ x=12,h $
