Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To make a bicycle, we need one frame and two wheels. As there are only 50 frames, we can make a maximum of 50 bicycles. However, we also need 4 reflectors per bicycle, which means we need a total of 50 x 4 = 200 reflectors. But the manufacturer only has 120 reflectors, which is not enough to make 50 bicycles. Therefore, the maximum number of bicycles that can be made is limited by the number of reflectors available. Since we have 120 reflectors, we can make a maximum of 120/4 = 30 bicycles. The correct choice is B.
