Solution

First, we need to find out how many papers B can copy in 10 hours.

We know that A can copy 50 papers in 10 hours and A & B together can copy 70 papers in 10 hours.

So, B can copy 70 - 50 = 20 papers in 10 hours.

Now, we need to find out how many hours B will take to copy 26 papers.

If B can copy 20 papers in 10 hours, then B can copy 1 paper in 10/20 = 0.5 hours.

Therefore, to copy 26 papers, B will take 26 * 0.5 = 13 hours.

So, the answer is 13 hours.
