5 service bays

Explanation:

The computation of the minimum number of service bays is shown below:

But before that first we have to find out the effective capacity and one day capacity which is

Effective Capacity is

= 5.5 cars per hours * 0.88

= 4.84 cars

Now one day capacity for one service bay is

= 4.84 cars * 8 hours

= 38.72 cars

So, to produce 200 cars, the minimum number of service bays is

= 200 cars : 38.72

= 5 service bays
