Maude was denied employment with Trucks R Us as a warehouse worker because she didn't meet the weight requirement of 160 pounds. Trucks argued the weight requirement was reasonable because warehouse workers often have to lift things weighing up to 100 pounds. If she sues Trucks, she will probably: (A) lose, as the weight requirement seems like a reasonable occupational requirement. (B) win, as the weight requirement is discriminatory and doesn't appear necessary for the requirement of lifting 100 pounds. (C) lose, as the 160-pound requirement doesn't discriminate. (D) win, as the employer specifically cannot have a weight requirement.

    Answer: the correct answer is (B) win, as the weight requirement is discriminatory and doesn't appear necessary for the requirement of lifting 100 pounds.

    Explanation:

    The key issue here is that 100 pound is not much weight and also there are a number of states and localities that have passed laws against discrimitation on weight or height.
