Best answer
Correct choice is (c) 55.8 minutes

Explanation: Ball has established that 42% of the CUT is reusable in terms of the processing temperature. CUT is 10 minutes. Hence 4.2 minutes is deducted. Hence, when a CUT is 10 minutes and the calculated process was 60 minutes at 116 deg C, then the corrected process time is 55.8 minutes.
