    Production has increased 20/day

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In the first scenario production is 500/day and productivity 25 set/hour. After the changes, production is 600/day and 25 set/hour.

    So productivity remains the same, nevertheless, as there are more productive hours per day, production raises, in this case the can be calculated as (New Production-Old Production) / Old Production = (600-500) / 500=100/500=0.2=20%.

    As productivity remains the same, you do not ge more sets/shift, as shifts are shorter (8 instead of hours, so you get 200/shift instead of 250/shift). The rest of the option is false as productivity remains constant
