F=3+2*6=15 data items per minute

Answer:

b. 15 data items per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of data he can input per minute at 9:00 AM = 3,

Since, he inputs data 2 data items faster each half hour,

So, the number of inputted data per minute at 9:30 AM = 3 + 2 = 5,

At 10:00 AM = 5 + 2 = 7,

At 10:30 AM = 7 + 2 = 9,

At 11:00 AM = 9 + 2 = 11,

At 11:30 AM = 11 + 2 = 13,

At 12:00 AM or at noon = 13 + 2 = 15,

Hence, his rate of inputting data at noon is 15 data items per minute.

Option 'b' is correct.
