On the average an experienced person does 7 units of work while a fresh one work 5 units of work daily but the employer has to maintain an output of atleast 35 units of work per day. The situation can be expressed as:
Correct Answer
✅ Option c — $7x + 5y \ge 35$
All Options:
- A$7x + 5y < 35$
- B$7x + 5y > 35$
- C$7x + 5y \ge 35$
- D$7x + 5y \le 35$
Detailed Solution & Explanation
- Daily work output of experienced workers units.
- Daily work output of fresh workers units.
The total daily output is the sum of their individual outputs:
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" (
Therefore, the inequality is:
This corresponds to option C.
**Correct Option: (c)**
