    The first batch of 10 units took 120 hours.

    When they make an extra 30 units, then will have made 40 units which is 4 batches of 10 units.

    The total time for 4 batches is 120 + 150 = 270 and therefore the average time per batch is 270 / 4 = 67.5 hours.

    Going from 1 batch to 4 batches means doubling twice.

    Therefore learning rate is the square root of 67.5/120 = 0.75 (or 75%)
