To determine how the printing rates for Printer A and Printer B compare, we can analyze the statements:
- Printer B has a printing rate of 25 pages per minute.
- We need to find the printing rate of Printer A (which would be indicated in the graph you mentioned).
From the answer options given:
A. "The printing rate of printer A is 25 pages in a minute and the printing rate of Printer B is 15 pages in a minute."
B. "The printing rate of printer A is 15 pages in a minute and the printing rate of Printer B is 25 pages in a minute."
C. "The printing rate of printer A is less than the printing rate of printer B."
D. "The printing rate of printer A is greater than the printing rate of printer B."
Based on the information:
- If Printer A is 15 pages per minute (as per option B), then option C would also be true (since 15 < 25).
- If Printer A is 25 pages per minute (as per option A), then option D would be true (since 25 > 25 is false, and it cannot be true that it is less).
Assuming Printer A's rate is not explicitly known, if you found that it is indeed 15 pages per minute, then options B and C would apply. If Printer A is 25 pages per minute, then options A and D would apply.
Final Selection:
- You would select the relevant options based on the actual printing rate for Printer A as indicated in the graph. Based on logical validation:
- If Printer A is confirmed as 15 pages per minute, you would select B and C.
- If Printer A is confirmed as 25 pages per minute, you would select A and D.
Without the actual values from the graph, you can't definitively select the two choices. Please refer to the graph provided to determine Printer A's rate.
