One approach is to use some number sense
Given: 10 robots can paint 3 identical houses in 5 hours
This means: 20 robots can paint 6 identical houses in 5 hours ( if we double the number of robots, we double the output)
This means: 20 robots can paint 12 identical houses in 10 hours ( if we double the required output, we must double the time required)
Answer: C
