⟩ If A can copy 50 pages in 10 hours and A and B together can copy 70 pages in 10 hours, how much time does B takes to copy 26 pages?

A can copy 50 pages in 10 hrs.

A can copy 5 pages in 1hr.(50/10)

now A & B can copy 70 pages in 10hrs.

thus, B can copy 90 pages in 10 hrs.[eqn. is (50+x)/2=70, where x--> no. of pages B can copy in 10 hrs.]

so, B can copy 9 pages in 1hr.

therefore, to copy 26 pages B will need almost 3hrs.

since in 3hrs B can copy 27 pages.
