Detailed Solution

Concep- This is a straightforward mathematical query. We must first figure out how many words Rita typed in total. Then, using simple techniques, we will compute the words Rita typed while Geeta was taking a photo. Thus, it is simple to calculate how long Geeta spent.
As given in the question Rita can type 48 words in 1 minute.
So, Rita can type total words in the time of 24 minutes will be, =24×40   words.
=960   words.
Thus Rita can type a total of 960 words. So, that document has 960 words.
Now, the time taken by Geeta to type the same document having 960 words is t   minutes and her speed is 48 words per minute.
48×t=960  
We will simplify the above expression, dividing 960 by 48 , as follows
t= 960 48  
t=20  
  The time required by Geeta to type the same document will be 20 minutes.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
