This question is as clear as mud. What kind of operation are we talking about here? A lemonade stand?

I think it's true because if operation B is faster, you need a bigger batch on A to keep things running smoothly.

True, but only if the factory has a single-lane conveyor belt. Otherwise, I'd just keep the batches the same and let the machines run at their own pace.

False. The question doesn't provide enough information about the production process and capacity constraints. I need more details to answer this properly.
