c. Emerson’s productivity and output are greater than Waldo’s.

Answer 1

Answer:  Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

In case of Waldo:

Number of hours they work = 8

Number of units per hour = 7 units

So, Output would be

$8\times 7\\\\=56\ units$

In case of Emerson:

Number of hours they work = 6 hours

Number of units per work = 10 units

So,Output would be

$10\times 6=60\ units$

Hence, Emerson’s productivity and output are greater than Waldo’s.

Therefore, Option 'c' is correct.
