1) IMO C

2 pages in 1sec
5000 pages in 2500 secs

2500/60 = 41.67 or 42 mins approx

2) IMO B

s-soft contact lenses
h-hard contact lenses

s = 5+h

150s+85h=1690
150(5+h)+85h=1690
h=4
s=9
Total = 13

Whats your answer and OA?
Also whats the source for these questions?

If a printer has a rate of 2 pages per second, it has a rate of 2 x 60 = 120 pages per minute.

Thus, it will take 5,000/120 = 41.67 minutes, or about 42 minutes, to print 5,000 pages.

Answer: C
