Answer 2

$\sf\underline{Step-by-step \: explanation}$

Given,

Newspaper printed in 30 minutes = 1000

Newspapers to be printed in 2.5 hours = x

To solve; make the terms like.

30 minutes = 30 minutes

2.5 = 150 minutes [1 hour = 60 minutes]

$\sf{Using\: Proportion \:method \:,}$

Time : Time : : Prints : Prints

30..... : 150. : : 1000 . : x

Product of extremes = Product of means

30x = 150 × 1000

30x = 150000

x = 5000

Hence; the number of news paper to be printed in 2.5 hours were 5000.

$\sf{Using \: unitary \: method \: ,}$

Newspaper printed in 1 minute = $\sf\dfrac{1000}{30}$

Newspaper printed in 150 minutes = $\sf\dfrac{1000\: \times \: 150}{30}$

After Cancellation...

3000

Hence Verified and solved that , in 150 minutes; 3000 news papers will be printed
