A batch reactor produces 1×105 kg of a product per year. The total batch time (in hours) of the reactor is k√PB, where PB is the product per batch in kg and k=1.0 h/√kg. The operating cost of the reactor is Rs. 400/h. The total annual fixed charges are Rs. 340×PB and the annual raw material cost is Rs. 2×106. The optimum size (in kg) of each batch (adjusted to the nearest integer) is
Correct : c
