packer B contributes the most to the net profit of the company.

The five packers A, B,C,D and E charge $66,$52, $46, $32, and $28, respectively, to pack each item. The time taken by the packers to pack oneitem is 20 minutes, 24 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes and 48 minutes, respectively.



in 8 hrs, (480 mins), packers packed 24,20,16,12,10 items.
from profit of 100 dollars per item, net profit after paying to packers is 34,48,54,68,72 dollars per item respectively.

Net profit to company per day from each packer is
816,960,864,816 and 720 dollars respectively.

so packer B contributes the most to the net profit of the company.

B contributes more to the net profit , even though A packs more.
A takes 20 min for each which means in 8 hrs he can make (8*60=480)480/20=24 packs
B takes 24 min for each which means in 8 hrs he can make (8*60=480)480/24=20 packs
C takes 30 min for each which means in 8 hrs he can make (8*60=480)480/30=16 packs
D takes 40 min for each which means in 8 hrs he can make (8*60=480)480/40=12packs
E is not in options so I am leaving
Now, A makes 24 and hence company earns 24*100=2400 but he charges 66 for each one so he charges 66*24=1584. hence profit for the company is 2400-1584=816
Now, B makes 20 and hence company earns 20*100=2000 but he charges 52 for each one so he charges 52*20=1040. hence profit for the company is 2000-1040=960
Similarly for C we have 864 and D 816. Hence B contributes for more profit
