Official Solution:
In 8 hours, the two lines produce 800 boxes. This means their combined hourly output is 800 ÷ 8 = 100 boxes per hour. Line A operates at a rate 50% greater than Line B. Checking the options:
If Line B = 40 boxes per hour, then Line A = 40 + 50% of 40 = 60 boxes per hour.
Sum = 40 + 60 = 100 boxes per hour. Bingo — we have our match and no need to check anything else!
Correct answer:
Line A "60"
Line B "40"
