Correct Answer

Option c7x+5y35\displaystyle 7x + 5y \ge 35

All Options:

  • A7x+5y<35\displaystyle 7x + 5y < 35
  • B7x+5y>35\displaystyle 7x + 5y > 35
  • C7x+5y35\displaystyle 7x + 5y \ge 35
  • D7x+5y35\displaystyle 7x + 5y \le 35

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let x\displaystyle x be the number of experienced persons and y\displaystyle y be the number of fresh persons employed.
- Daily work output of x\displaystyle x experienced workers =7x\displaystyle = 7x units.
- Daily work output of y\displaystyle y fresh workers =5y\displaystyle = 5y units.
The total daily output is the sum of their individual outputs:
Total Output=7x+5y\text{Total Output} = 7x + 5y
The employer must maintain a daily output of *at least* 35 units of work. The phrase "at least" corresponds to the mathematical inequality "greater than or equal to" (\displaystyle \ge).
Therefore, the inequality is:
7x+5y357x + 5y \ge 35
This corresponds to option C.
**Correct Option: (c)**
