Answer:
He works from 9:30am to 12:50pm.
He takes a brake at 10:30 for 20 mins.
Now the time he works will be
(12:50 – 9:30) – 20
3:20 – 20
3:00
NOTE: TILL HERE DONT THINK THE SIGN ‘:’ IS USED FOR RATIO, ITS USED AS IN TIME. AND THIS MEANS THE NUMBER BEFORE ‘:’ IS HOURS AND THE NUMBER AFTER THE ‘:’ WILL BE MINUTES.
i.e., 3 hours.No. of pots decorated in 3 hours will be,
3 hours in minutes÷time taken to decorate one pot.
⇒ (3×60)÷12
⇒ 180÷12
⇒15
Thus he decorates 15 pots in the given time.

Step-by-step explanation:
9:30 until 12.50=3 hours and 20 minutes or 200 minutes
200 minutes – 20 minute break=180 minutes working
180/12=15 pots
