Question : 32 of 54

Marks: +1, -0

An employer recruits experienced and fresh workmen for his firm under the condition that he cannot employ more than 12 people. It can be related by the inequality

$x+y \neq 12$
$x+y \leq 12$
$x+y \geq 12$
None

Solution:

Concept:

The total number of workmen cannot exceed 12, meaning it is at most 12.

Explanation:

Let

x

be the number of experienced workmen and

y

be the number of fresh workmen.

The condition "cannot employ more than 12 people" means the sum

x + y

is less than or equal to 12.

Thus the correct inequality is

x + y \leq 12

.
