Explanation / Answer
The answer is "C"
7.5 cellular phones and Shantala’s opportunity cost of testing one cellular phone is programming 2.5 cellular phones.
Juanita opportunity cost is 1200 / 160. That means it cost her a total 7.5 tested phones of she goes for cellular phone programming. Similarly, Shantala has to sacrifice 600 / 240 i.e. 2.5 phone testing only for every single phone programmed.
