What is the maximum number of units that can be manufactured in one day?
Answer & solution
- A
140
160
- C
120
- D
180
Since time taken to manufacture Q by both the machines is the least, we have to manufacture only Q in order to maximize the output for the day. In such a case, total number of units of Q produced by M1 = = 80 units and that by M2 = = 60 units. So the maximum number of units that can be produced in one day = (80 + 80) = 160 units.
