A worker was observed for four cycles in a repetitive task that contains four distinct elements. The observer recorded the following items in seconds, using the continuous method.
$$\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | c | }
\hline \text { Element } & \text { Cycle 1 } & \text { Cycle 2 } & \text { Cycle3 } & \text { Cycle4 } \
\hline \mathbf { 1 } & 12 & 66 & 111 & 168 \
\hline \mathbf { 2 } & 21 & 75 & 122 & 185 \
\hline \mathbf { 3 } & 37 & 86 & 133 & 200 \
\hline \mathbf { 4 } & 53 & 89 & 146 & 209 \
\hline
\end{array}$$
-Use the information in Table H.1.Assume that work element 1 receives a performance rating factor of 1.2 and all other elements receive a rating of 1.1.If work element 2 is performed every other cycle but every other element is performed every cycle,and the company has an allowance time of 0.10,what is the standard time for the complete cycle?
A) Fewer than 45 seconds
B) Greater than or equal to 45 seconds but fewer than 50 seconds
C) Greater than or equal to 50 seconds but fewer than 55 seconds
D) Greater than or equal to 55 seconds
