men can make up to 80 cookies daily, while women can make up to 60. the fixed pay for a man and woman is rs. 500 and rs. 400 per day, respectively. the variable payment per cookie made for a man and a woman is rs. 20 and rs. 25, respectively. if 4015 cookies are made in a day, how many men should the firm employ to minimize cost
a.49 b.50 c.51 d.52
The original answer is 50 but i thought 49 is the correct whether I'm wrong

men make 80 cookies a day and are paid with 500 /day
Total cookies to be made 4016... if we hire 50 men total output would be 50*80=4000 and need to be paid a total amount of 50*500 =25000 and remaining 16 donuts would be charged as 16*20 =320......that is still cheaper if we hire women at 500/day making 60 donuts....[ lets calculate 66 women * 60 donuts= 3960....for 66 women only 66*500 =33000 is to paid] ...ovio anyone would hire only men for these rates thus 50 is the answer
