    c. reject both locations.

    Explanation:

    The manager should reject the both locations because he is given the minimum acceptable composite score as 75. But both the location Dayton and Boston will have composite score of 73 which is below the minimum acceptable composite score.

    Dayton = (70 + 80 + 70) / 3 = 73.33

    Boston = (70 + 50 + 100) / 3 = 73.33

    The manager is indifferent to both the options and should reject them.
