Here we have to apply the concept of machine days.
so we know If 1 machine has rate = r, then:
• In 1 day, it produces r units.
• In t days, it produces r × t units.
Now, if you have m machines working together, each at rate r:
• In 1 day, total output = m × r
• In t days, total output = m × r × t

So keeping the above concept in mind we can solve the question like this
No of machines * Rate * Time = Work done
30* rate *15 = n/2
450*rate=n/2
rate = n/2*450
rate= n/900

Now we know that all the machines have same constant rates. Therefore the second part of question assume that the no of machines = x

therefore
x*n/900*45 = 2n
x* n/20 = 2n
x= 2n * 20/2
x= 40

Answer B is correct.

@Bunuel request you to please provide a solution, came across this Q on E-Gmat Mock but the same question on GMATClub was archived

30 machines produce n/2 unit in 15 days.
so in 45 days they will produe n/2 * 3 = 3n/2

in 45 days, 30 machines produce 3n/2,
2n is 4/3 times 3n/2.
so you can multiplau 4/3 * 30, which is equal to 40.
