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.
