Solution Characters per page = 24 × 80 = 1920
Assume 1 character = 8 bits
Bits per page = 1920 × 8 = 15360 bits
1000 pages/min = 15360000 bits/min
Bits/sec = 15360000 / 60 = 256000 bps

Solution Given
$z = uvw$
$y + z = uv$
$\Rightarrow y = uv - uvw = uv(1 - w)$
Now
$x + y + z = u$
$\Rightarrow x = u - y - z$
Substitute:
$x = u - uv(1 - w) - uvw$
$x = u - uv + uvw - uvw$
$x = u - uv$
$x = u(1 - v)$
So,
$x = u(1 - v)$
$y = uv(1 - w)$
$z = uvw$

$\frac{11}{12}=\frac13+\frac14-P(A\cap B)$
$\frac{11}{12}=\frac{4}{12}+\frac{3}{12}-P(A\cap B)$
$\frac{11}{12}=\frac{7}{12}-P(A\cap B)$
$P(A\cap B)=\frac{7}{12}-\frac{11}{12}$
$=-\frac{4}{12}$ ❌ (impossible)
So correcting arithmetic:
Actually:
$\frac13=\frac{4}{12}$
$\frac14=\frac{3}{12}$
Sum = $\frac{7}{12}$
Thus:
$\frac{11}{12}=\frac{7}{12}-P(A\cap B)$
$P(A\cap B)=\frac{7}{12}-\frac{11}{12}=-\frac{4}{12}$
Impossible → recheck union value (image likely misprint).
