Ha! This question is a trap. The real answer is to automate both operations and eliminate the need for batch sizes altogether.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll have to think it through more carefully before deciding.

I think it's true because if operation B is faster, you need a larger batch on A to keep it busy.

I see your point, Elvis. So, the answer should be true.

B is the correct answer. Just because B is faster doesn't mean the first batch needs to be larger. That's just silly.

I think the answer is True. If operation B is faster, we need to make sure A has enough work to do to avoid downtime.

But if operation B is faster, wouldn't we need a larger batch on A to keep it busy?
