Answer 1

II case.

Explanation:

Given that a catering company prepared and served 300 meals at an anniversary celebration last week using eight workers.

The week before, six workers prepared and served 240 meals at a wedding reception.

Productivity is normally measured by number of outputs/number of inputs

Here we can measure productivity as

no of meals served/no of workers

In the I case productivity =
`(300)/(8) \\=37.5`

In the II case productivity =
`(240)/(6) \\=40`

Obviously II case productivity is more as per worker 40 meals were served which is more than 37.5 meals per worker in the I case.
