"lets assume ac = 63 ( includesonly ac carsandcars with ac and racing stripes ) lets assume rs ( racing stripes ) > = 51 ( includescars with ac and racing stripesandonly racing stripes ) . now since we want to maximize ( only ac ) we have to see to it thatcars with ac and racing stripesis minimal ( assume 0 ) but since rs > = 51 . . we have to assign atleast 14 tocars with ac and racing stripes . hence ac = 63 - 14 = 49 . the answer is d"
