12 phone calls per hour for first 6 calls = 30 minutes total for the first 6 calls
6 phone calls per hour for last 6 calls = 1 hour total for the last 6 calls

12 total phone calls over 1.5 hour = 12/1.5 = 8

(a) 7.5
(b) 8.0
(c) 9.5
(d) 10.0
(e) 10.5

So, there are two sets of 6 calls made at two different frequencies.
let us calculate the time for these..

(i) 6 calls at the rate of 12 calls per hour..
If 12 calls in one hour, 6 calls will be made in $$6*\frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{2}$$hr

(ii) 6 calls at the rate of 6 calls per hour..
so 1 hour for these calls.

Thus, total calls = 6+6 or 12 calls, and time taken = $$1+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$$hr
Average calls per hour = $$\frac{calls}{time}=12/\frac{3}{2}=\frac{12*2}{3}=8$$calls per hour.
