Given : 

Susan can type 12 pages in 6 minutes.

Mary can type 6 pages in 12 minutes. 

Formula Used : 

Work Done = Time × Efficiency

Calculation : 

Efficiency of Susan = 2

Efficiency of Mary = 0.5

No of pages = (2 + 0.5) × 32 min 

⇒ 2.5 × 32 min

⇒ 25/10 × 32 min

⇒ 80

∴ The correct answer is 80.
