A can copy 50 papers in 10 hrs
that means 5 papers in 1 hour
A & B can copy 70 papers in 10 hrs
that means both of them copy 7 papers in 1hour
we know A can copy 5 papers
there fore B can copy 2papers in 1 hour
so B can copu 26 papers in x hours
2*x=26
x=26/2=13 hours

l = 5 b = 2
Area= l*b =10

New after 100% increament

Solution:

life as a boy = 1/4
life as a youth = 1/8
life as an active man = 1/2
sum of life as boy, youth and active man = 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/2 = 7/8
life as an old man = 1 − 7/8 = 1/8
1/8 Wrinkle’s life (as an old man) is 8 years.
and 1/2 = 1/8 *4
So, 1/2 Wrinkle’s Age (as active man) = 8*4 = 32years.

let t = total no of students.. then
students who passed one or both subjects,
n(e U h) = n(e) + n(h) – n(e intersection h)
=> t = 0.8t + 0.7t – 144
=> t = 1.5t – 144
students who failed both subjects is 10% i.e. 0.1t
=>t-n(e U h) = 0.1t,
=>t -(1.5t – 144) = 0.1t
=>t- 1.5t- 0.1t = -144
=> -0.6t = -144
=>t = 240
