Question

1. A copy machine’s feeder tray holds pages to be copied. Assume that it takes 5 second to load a new group of pages in the feeder before copying and 10 seconds to unload the original and the copies after copying. If the copier takes 4 seconds to print the first page of a group and 1 second to print every subsequent page, what is the minimum capacity of the feeder tray necessary to ensure that the effective throughput of the copier asymptotically approaches 40 pages per minute as the length of the original document increases?
