Detailed Solution & Explanation

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

The rule states: "should employ not more than 5\displaystyle 5 experienced hands to 1\displaystyle 1 fresh one."
This means the ratio of experienced hands to fresh hands must be less than or equal to 5\displaystyle 5:
xy5\frac{x}{y} \le 5

Since the number of fresh hands y\displaystyle y is positive (y>0\displaystyle y > 0), we can multiply both sides by y\displaystyle y:
x5y    yx5x \le 5y \implies y \ge \frac{x}{5}

This matches Option A perfectly.

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