2 and Suresh types at a rate of A 28, B 35, C 56, D 168 words per minute.

3 Nancie's rate is A greater than, B less than C equal to Suresh's rate.

Answer 1

I think you might have forgotten to add Suresh typing speed table....

Time (min) Total words
0.5 28
3 168
14 784

We can easily obtain Suresh typing speed by dividing Total Words/Time

Time (min) Total words Speed (Words/min)
0.5 28 56
3 168 56
14 784 56

And we know that Nancie's typing speed is 35 Words/ min

So, Nancie's rate is less than Suresh's/
