Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
To find the standard hours allowed for one pair of eyeglasses, we need to divide the total number of direct labour hours (2000) by the number of pairs of eyeglasses produced (1600). This gives us a standard of 1.25 hours per pair of eyeglasses. However, since the options only give us whole numbers or specific time intervals, we need to round this to the nearest whole number, which is 1. Therefore, the answer is A.
