Correct Answer

Option ayx/8\displaystyle y \ge x/8

All Options:

  • Ayx/8\displaystyle y \ge x/8
  • B8yx\displaystyle 8y \le x
  • C8y=x\displaystyle 8y = x
  • Dy=8x\displaystyle y = 8x

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let x\displaystyle x be the number of experienced workers and y\displaystyle y be the number of fresh workers.

The rule states: "should employ not more than 8\displaystyle 8 experienced leads to 1\displaystyle 1 fresh one."
This means the ratio of experienced workers to fresh workers must be less than or equal to 8\displaystyle 8:
xy8\frac{x}{y} \le 8

Since the number of fresh workers y\displaystyle y is positive (y>0\displaystyle y > 0), we can multiply both sides by y\displaystyle y:
x8y    yx8x \le 8y \implies y \ge \frac{x}{8}

This matches Option A perfectly.

Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
