Answer: 1.4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Task time (1) = 0.3 minutes

Task time (2) = 1.4 minutes

Task time (3) = 0.7 minutes

Minimum cycle time refers to the task which has the longest task time.

Maximum cycle time is simply the sum of all the task time.

Therefore,

Minimum cycle time = Length of longest task time

= Task time (2)

= 1.4 minutes
