Best answer
total characters =200  each character having one space

total time to print 200 chars=200x6 =1200 ms

total time to space in =200x2=400 ms

200 charactes total print time =1600 ms =1.6 sec

The printing speed of the dot matrix printer in characters per second  
=200/1.6 =125 character per sec

line will take 1.6 sec

Hence all options are incorrect. Marks to All given in exam.
