    C. 30

    Explanation:

    If the first machine processes 100 units in 5 hours,

    Number of units in 1 hour = 100/5

    = 20 Units

    In 2 hours, this machine would process

    = 2 * 20

    = 40 Units

    Therefore where there are 100 units to be processed in 2 hours, the first machine would process 40 units in the given time

    The new machine would have to process the remaining

    Number of units to be processed by new machine

    = 100 - 40

    = 60 Units

    If the machine is to process 60 units in 2 hours, constant rate, in units per hour, of the new machine

    = 60/2

    = 30 units per hour
