A manufacturing process has 2 stations, A and B, that are ordered in sequence. At each station, two tasks are performed one after the other. Suppose the time (in seconds per unit) it taks for a single person to perform each task is given below. Station A has 1 worker and Task 1 takes 20 seconds, Task 2 takes 25 seconds. Station B has 2 workers and Task 1 takes 40 seconds, Task 2 takes 40 seconds. If Station A has 1 worker and station B has 2 workers to do the different tasks, the capacity of this process under steady state (in units per hour) is: a.90/hour b.80/hour c.180/hour d.45/hour e. none of the above
