    The total number of mails that is processed by the mail distribution center cannot go beyond 175,000 (because this is the maximum number of mails). Therefore, the first equation that can be generated from the given scenario is,

    1250x + 1500y ≤ 175000

    Also, since the maximum number of loads per day can only be 200, the second equation would be,

    x + y ≤ 200

    Therefore, the answer to this item is letter A.
