Subhash can copy 50 pages in 10 hours; Subhash and Prakash together can copy 300 pages in 40 hours. In how much time can Prakash copy 30 pages?

A. 13 hour

B. 12 hour

C. 11 hour

D. 9 hour

E. 10 hour

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Number of page copied by (Subhash + Prakash) in 1 hour = $$\frac{{300}}{{40}}$$  = 7.5 pages;
Subhash copied pages in one hour = $$\frac{{50}}{{10}}$$ = 5 pages
Hence, Prakash copied pages in one hour = 7.5 - 5 = 2.5
Thus,
Prakash can copied 30 pages in = $$\frac{{30}}{{2.5}}$$ = 12 hour
