    A 14 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 11 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 16 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Number of pages copied by x in hour = 60/12 = 5
    Number of pages copied by x and y in 1 hour = 120/20 = 6
    ∴ Number of pages copied by y in 1 hour = 6 – 5 = 1
    ∴ Required time = 1 x 11 = 11 hours
