Question

For the past month, a plant that has an effective capacity of ________ has made only ________ hammers per day because of material delay, employee absences, and other problems.

1) 80, 50
2) 100, 75
3) 120, 100
4) 150, 120

Answer 1

The correct answer is option 2) 100, 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option 2) 100, 75.

According to the question, the effective capacity of the plant is given as the number of hammers it can produce per day. The options provided are pairs of values in the form (effective capacity, actual production per day). We need to choose the option where the actual production per day is less than the effective capacity due to material delay, employee absences, and other problems.

Option 2) 100, 75 satisfies this condition, as the plant's effective capacity is 100 hammers per day, but it has only been able to produce 75 hammers per day due to the mentioned issues.
