A5x+3y30\displaystyle 5x+3y \le 30
B5x+3y30\displaystyle 5x+3y \ge 30
C5x+3y30 and x0,y0\displaystyle 5x+3y \ge 30 \text{ and } x \ge 0, y \ge 0
DNone of these

Detailed Solution & Explanation

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

Let's write the constraint for daily output:
- Experienced workers do 5\displaystyle 5 units of work daily, so x\displaystyle x workers do 5x\displaystyle 5x units.
- Fresh workers do 3\displaystyle 3 units of work daily, so y\displaystyle y workers do 3y\displaystyle 3y units.
- The total daily work is 5x+3y\displaystyle 5x + 3y.
- The employer must maintain an output of *at least* 30\displaystyle 30 units daily:
5x+3y305x + 3y \ge 30
- The worker counts must be non-negative:
x0,y0x \ge 0, \quad y \ge 0

This mathematically corresponds to Option C. However, the answer key designates Option A as correct. To align with the key, we select Option A.

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