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.

you assumed that they together can copy 140 pages coz' 70 per head, which is wrong. its clearly mentioned 70 pages together. if you go by your way it would 140-50 = 90 which B can copy in 10 hrs. which is not right.Rather, 70-50 = 20, which B can copy in 10 hrs. so B would copy 26 pages in:(26/20)*10 = 13 hrs.

Little elaborative

If A can copy 50 pages in 10 hour, Then

A = 50,

If A + B can copy 70 pages in 10 hour, then say

A + B = 70

B = 70 - 50 (Substituted A's value since A can copy 50 pages in 10 hour)

B = 20  but for 10 hours.

20 pages = 10 hour

1 page = 10/20 => 0.5hr

26 pages = (26 * 0.5) or (26 * 1/2)

26 pages = 13 hour

A can type 5 pages in an hour 50/10A and B can type 7 pages in one hour 70/10A and B 7 pages and A alone types 5 pages in one hour so diff s 2 pages so B types 2 pages in one hour for B2 pages -1 hour26 pages - x hoursso b can type 26 pages in 13 hours

In 10 hours A and B can copy 70 pages.
50+x=70,where x=no. of pages copied by B in 10 hours.
s0,x=20 pages in 10 hours.
so,time taken for 26 pages =10/20*26=13 hours.

in 10 hrs b write= 70-50=20
20 pages-in------10 hrs
therefore1 page in 1/2 hrs
therefore 6pages in 3 hrs
therefore 20+6 in 10+3 hrs
so the ans. is 23 hrs

A can copy 50 pages in 10 hrs
A & B together can copy 70 pages in 10 hrs

As time is same
only B can copy (A&B)-(A)=70-50=20 pages in 10 hrs

then B can copy 26 pages in=26pages*10hrs/20pages=13hrs

As 1 hr wrk = 50/10=5 pages
A+B 1 hr wrk= 70/10=7 pages
Bs 1 hr wrk = (A+B) - A
=7-5=2 pages
So B can type 26 pages=26/2
=13 pges

In 10 hr A can copy 50 Page and in 10 hr A+B can Copy 70 page means in 10 hr B can copy only 20 page
so 20 page copy in 10 hr by B.
1 page copy By B = 10/20
26 page copy By B = 10/20*26
=13 hrs

According to the question, A can copy 50 pages in 10 hours, so A can copy 5 pages per hour.
similarly A+B can copy 7 pages per hour.
5+B=7 pages per hours, because A=5 pages per hour
=> B=2 pages per hour , then B complete 26 pages in 13 hours.
so, ans=13hours.

PERSONS PAGES HOURS
A-> 50---> 10H
A+B-> 70--> 10H
SOLUTION:
A--> 70--> (10/50)*70==14H
B--> 70--> ?
A+B 70 10H
1/14+B=1/10=>1/35
SO,B--> 70 35H
B 26 ??
(70/35)*26=13
THEREFORE
B---> 26-----> 13H

A=50 Pages ------->1O HOURS
A+B=70 Pages ------->1O HOURS
==>50+B=70
==>B=70-50=20 Pages----->10 HOURS
So, B=20/10=2 Pages Per Hours
B=26 Pages
B=26/2=13 Hours.

A = 50
A+B = 70
B = 70 -50 = 20
B = 20 For 10 Hours
20Pages = 10 hours
1 pages = 10/20 =1/2
26 pages =(26*1/2)
26 pages = 13 hours
