Answer 1

In 26 seconds to complete a transaction, 2 products are being purchased.

Explanation:

1 item = 9 seconds

Time taken in all to check out = 8 seconds

Time taken to shop = 26 seconds

Now as check out process takes 8 seconds, so the

Time left to ACTUALLY SHOP = Total Time - Time Used to check out

= 26 seconds = 8 seconds = 18 seconds

Shopping of 1 item = 8 seconds

Shopping of 2 items = 2 x ( Time taken in 1 item) = 2 x 9 = 18 seconds

So, in 18 seconds, 2 clothing item can be selected.

Hence,in 26 seconds to complete a transaction, 2 products are being purchased.
