Video transcript

Hello everyone today we are being asked which of the following statement is true. So we have a says actual yield can be 101%. We know this is not true because the actual yield cannot be more than 100%. B says the actual yield cannot be more than 100% that matches up perfectly with what I just explained. So the actual yield cannot be more than 100% because the actual yield cannot be more than the theoretical yield. And so B is our final answer. I hope this helped, and until next time.
