Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The labor constraint of production department can be derived from the given information as follows:
For producing one sp2 model, 2 labor hours are required for production department.
So, for producing X1 sp2 models in a week, the labor hours required by production department will be:
2*7*X1 = 14X1
Similarly, for producing one sp3 model,1.5 labor hours are required for production department.
So, for producing X2 sp3 models in a week, the labor hours required by production department will be:
1.5*7*X2 = 10.5X2
Therefore, the production department's labor constraint for a week will be:
14X1 + 10.5X2 ≤ total labor hours in a week
= 25*7*5 (as 25 workers work 7 hours per day and company operates 5 days per week)
= 875
So, the correct choice is C.
