1 . In the first condition Answer is D = 100 because : 

 If We read 40 pages in 2 hours then how many pages we read in 5 hours so for find this we calculate how pages read in 1 hours.

For find this we divide 40 by 2 : 40/2 = 20 so , we read 20 pages in 1 hours 

Now multiply 20 pages with 5 hours then we get the numbers of pages that are readable in 5 hours : 

20 * 5 = 100 so , 100 pages are read in 5 hours 

2 . In the second condition Answer is B = $42 because : 

For solve this question we have to find the 3% of 1,400$ then we the correct answer

So, for find the 3% of 1,400$ first we have to multiply 3 by 1,400$ then divide the answer with 100 :

1,400$ * 3 = 4,200$

4,200$ / 100 = 42$
