Correct Answer

✅ Option b — $5x+3y > 30$

All Options:

  • A$5x+3y \le 30$
  • B$5x+3y > 30$
  • C$5x+3y \ge 30$
  • 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 daily output inequality:
- Experienced workers do 5\displaystyle 5 units of work daily, so x\displaystyle x workers do $5xunits.<br>−Freshworkersdo\displaystyle units.<br>- Fresh workers do3$ units of work daily, so $y$ workers do $3y$ units.
- The total daily output is $5x + 3y\displaystyle .<br>- The employer must maintain an output of *at least* &#36;30 units daily:
5x+3y≥305x + 3y ≥\displaystyle \ge 30

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

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