B) A/50 + B/40 + C/20 + D/20 ≤ 330
C) A/30 + B/40 + C/20 + D/20 = 330
D) A/50 + B/40 + C/20 + D/20 = 330

Time Constraint

A limitation or deadline in a process or activity that defines the period in which something must be accomplished.

Forming Department

In manufacturing, it refers to the section where raw materials are shaped into parts according to specifications using various processes.

Production Rates

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The time constraint for the forming department is given by the sum of the time taken for each type of steel sheet to pass through the forming department. This is given by A/50 + B/40 + C/20 + D/20, which should be less than or equal to the available time of 330 hours. Therefore, the correct inequality is A/50 + B/40 + C/20 + D/20 ≤ 330. To maximize profit, we would need to solve the entire linear programming problem, not just this one constraint.
