In order to minimize the number of hours that the two machines work together, the more efficient machine Y should work for the entire day.
Thus, Y works for 8 hours and produces 8 * 500 = 4,000 pins.
There are 1,000 pins remaining for machine X to produce. This takes 1,000/200 = 5 hours.

Therefore, B is the answer.
