This is a trick question! The answer is False. The batch size doesn't matter if operation B is faster. What a sneaky little problem. I like it.

I think the answer is True because if operation B is faster, we need a larger batch on A to keep it busy.

Hmm, I think the answer is True. If operation B is faster, then you'd want a bigger first batch to keep operation A running at full speed. Gotta maximize that efficiency, you know?

I'm pretty sure the answer is False. If operation B is faster, then the first batch doesn't need to be larger to avoid idle time on A. That's just common sense.
