20 Copies = 1 Min
1 Copy = 1 / 20 Min

Therefore,
4800 Copies = 4800 / 20 Min
4800 Copies = 240 Min = 240 / 60 Hrs = 4 Hrs

Hence, A.

If the copy machine can make 20 copies of a one-page document per minute, then it can make 20 x 60 = 1,200 copies per hour. So it will take 4,800/1,200 = 4 hours to make 4,800 copies.

The efficiency of the machine per hour is $$20*60 = 1200$$

So, To produce $$4800$$ copies time required is $$\frac{4800}{1200} = 4$$ Hours, Answer must be (A)

20 copies in 60 seconconds

20/60=3 seconds per 1 copy
4,800 copies * 3seconds= 14400 seconds
14400/per 60=240 minutes
240 minutes/60=4 hours

Copy machine makes 20 copies=1 min
So, 4800 copies=4800/20= 240 mins

240 mins=240/60 = 4 hrs

20 copies per minute is equivalent to 60x20 copies/hour = 1200 copies/hour

dividing 4800/1200 or to make it more simple 48/12 the answer is 4.

Chain Rule:

Let r be the rate, now

r * 1 minute= 20 copies,
multiply 240 on both sides-

r * 240 minutes = 4800 copies

So, 240 minutes is basically 4 hours

By Taking ratios:

Time taken to make 4,800 copies of a one-page document = X

Therefore,

20 copies /1min = 4800 copies/X min
Solve for X,
X= 240 mins
X= 4 hours.
