Solution

The correct option is A 10 minutes
The year in question is 1513 and the Gutenberg press was perfected in 1448. Gutenberg was a German printer. This means that Victor could have had access to Gutenberg's press. The Gutenberg press enabled a printer to print up to 250 sheets in an hour. These were one side prints. The press could handle printing 250 sheets in 60 minutes. This meant that the printer could print four one-sided sheets in a minute. So it would take Victor 10 minutes to get his 40 brochures.
