Explanation of Solution

Correct option: (c)

Correct answer:

100 minutes.

Justification:

The amount of agent added to the vat determines the setup time of the process. The reaction time of 85 minutes does not depend on the volume present in the batch and so it will be the setup time. In addition to that, 15 minutes is required to perform the cleaning process and it is also not dependent on the amount added to the vat. Therefore, the total setup time would be:

Setup time=85+15=100 minutes

The total setup time is 100 minutes.
