-Refer to the figure.What is the constraint equation representing processing time available?
A)4X + 6Y$\leq $200
B)4X + 6Y $\geq $ 200
C)4X + 6Y $\leq $ 400
D)30X + 18Y $\leq $ 200

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The processing time available is given by the hours available in the plant, which is 200. Since one unit of X requires 4 hours and one unit of Y requires 6 hours, the constraint equation representing processing time available is 4X + 6Y ≤ 200. This is represented by option A.
