Solution

The correct option is B 24

We need to find the LCM of 6,12 and 8 in order to find the equal number of pages written by them.

Finding LCM by prime factorisation method
6 = 2 × 3
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
8 = 2 × 2 × 2

LCM will be 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 24.
Hence together they will write 24 pages in an hour.
