D. 112

E. 132

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

We go through otion picking method.

We first choose option b. Let B typed 128 pages.

So, Total time taken by B = 128 * 28 = 3584 min.

So, each have taken 3584 min.

No. of pages typed by A = 3584 /16 = 224.

No. of pages typed by C = 3584 /32 = 112

Now,

128 + 224 + 112 = 464.

So, option B is correct.
