Rate at which business printer can print = 40 char per second
Rate at which an average printer can print = (40/4) char per second = 10 char per second
Average printer's rate = 5*Electric typewriter's rate
=>Electric typewriter's rate = 10/5 = 2 char per second = 2*60 char per min = 120 char per min
Answer D
Rate at which an average printer can print = (40/4) char per second = 10 char per second
Average printer's rate = 5*Electric typewriter's rate
=>Electric typewriter's rate = 10/5 = 2 char per second = 2*60 char per min = 120 char per min

Hi All,
This question requires a bit of basic arithmetic AND that you pay attention to the units involved. 'Unit conversion' is something that you WILL be asked to do on a handful of Quant questions on Test Day, so it's important that you pay attention to the details that you are given (and the question that is ASKED).
To start, we know that a business printer can print 40 characters per second...which is 4 times faster than an average printer...
Average printer = 40/4 = 10 characters per second...this is 5 times faster than an electric typewriter...
Electric typewriter = 10/5 = 2 characters per second.
We're asked how many characters an electric typewriter can print in 1 MINUTE...
(2 characters per second)(60 seconds) = 120 characters per minute.
Final Answer:
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
