(b) In the circumstances it would be unfair to admit the duplicate in lieu of the original.

2. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 52.247, a duplicate is admissible to the same extent as an original if the person or office having custody of the original was authorized to destroy the original after preparing a duplicate, and in fact did so.
