A) x ≤ 4, y ≤ 6
B) x < 4, y ≥ 6
C) x ≥ 4, y < 6
D) x ≥ 4, y ≥ 6

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The center of gravity is calculated using the weighted average of the coordinates, considering the demand as weights. The calculations result in x and y coordinates that are both greater than or equal to 4 and 6, respectively.
