Pancreatic amylase activity can be approximated by \(R = (T-20)(7-pH)\), where \(R\) is relative activity (arbitrary units), \(T\) is temperature in °C (20 ≤ \(T\) ≤ 50) and \(pH\) is the duodenal pH (5 ≤ \(pH\) ≤ 7). The temperature can be set at either \(30^{\circ}\text{C}\) or \(40^{\circ}\text{C}\) and the pH can be adjusted to either \(5.5\) or \(6.5\). Which combination of temperature and pH gives the maximum activity and what is the corresponding \(R\) value?

Answer Options

A. Temperature 40°C and pH 6.5, giving R = 10
B. Temperature 30°C and pH 6.5, giving R = 5
C. Temperature 30°C and pH 5.5, giving R = 15
Correct Answer D. Temperature 40°C and pH 5.5, giving R = 30
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Temperature 40°C and pH 5.5, giving R = 30
