I disagree, I believe it's false. Just because B is faster doesn't mean we need a larger batch for A. It depends on the overall process flow.

I think the statement is true because if operation B is faster, we need to make sure operation A doesn't have any idle time.

Yes, that's correct. It prevents idle time on operation A.
