Conan o'brien hosts the conan show and andy richter, his sidekick, writes for it. conan needs 4 hours to rehearse and host a good show. it takes andy 10 hours to do the same. conan writes one usable joke in an hour, but andy needs 2 hours to do the same. from these numbers, we infer that conan has an absolute advantage in the production of:
a.
neither show hosting nor joke writing.
b.
joke writing.
c.
both show hosting and joke writing.
d.
show hosting.

C

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Conan needs 4 hours to rehearse and host a good show.  Andy needs 10 hours to do the same. So, Cohan needs 6 hours less than Andy to  rehearse and host a good show. This means Cohan has an absolute advantage in the production of show hosting.

2. Conan writes one usable joke in an hour,  Andy needs 2 hours to do the same. So, Cohan has an absolute advantage in the production of joke writing.

Thus, Cohan has an absolute advantage in the production of both show hosting and joke writing.

step-by-step explanation:

y= 2x+7

changed to y= 5x +7

as slope is increased from 2 to 5

therefore it would be less steeper

so, option d) is correct
