Question

XYZ Inc. produces two types of printers—regular and high-speed. Regular uses 2 units of recycled plastic per unit, and high-speed uses 1 unit of recycled plastic per unit of production. The total amount of recycled plastic available per month is 5,000. A critical machine is needed to manufacture the printers. Each unit of regular requires 5 units of time in this machine, and each unit of high-speed requires 3 units of time. The total time available in this machine per month is 10,000 units. Let X1 be the number of units of regular produced per month and X2 the number of units of high-speed produced per month. The appropriate constraint/s will be
A) 2X1 + X2 = 5000
B) 2X1 + X2 <= 5000
C) 5X1 + 3X2 <= 10000
D) A and C
E) B and C

Explanation / Answer

The appropriate constraint/s will be
2X1 + X2 <= 5000
5X1 + 3X2 <= 10000
Correct option: E) B and C
