A set of eight candidates A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are being interviewed by two panels of interviewers: Panel I and Panel II-from 9.30 to 10.50 on a particular day. Each panel will spend about 10 minutes per candidate and at no time during the interview process will a panel be without any candidate. The original schedules of interviews for the eight candidates are shown in the following table:

Due to requests from the candidates, the interview schedule was altered for several candidates. The alterations were made in such a way that whenever a change was made, the time schedule for both the panels of a particular candidate was exchanged in entirety with the time schedule of another candidate. The following alterations were made: I. A's place was taken by G II. A in turn was accommodated in C's place III. C in turn was accommodated in E's place IV. E took H's place V. H took G's place
Question: 1
Which of the folllowing candidates Finished the interviews along with E?
The correct option is (C): D. Explanation: After the schedule alterations, E takes H’s place. According to the original schedule, H finishes their interview at 10.50 with Panel I. So, E will now finish at 10.50 in Panel I. In the original schedule, D also finishes at 10.50 in Panel II. Thus, both E and D finish their interviews at the same time. Therefore, the correct answer is Option (C): D.

Question: 2
Which of the folllowing candidates Finished the interviews before C?
The correct option is (D): None of these Explanation: After the schedule alterations, C takes E's place. In the original schedule, E's interviews end at 10:20 in Panel I and 9:40 in Panel II, meaning C now finishes at these times. Both B and D, in their respective schedules, finish their interviews later than C (B finishes at 10:30 and D finishes at 10:50). Hence, the correct answer is D – none of these.

Question: 3
If G and .A had to leave together, then how much time did any of them has to wait?
The correct option is (B): G has to wait 20 minutes Explanation: After the schedule changes, G takes A's place. In the original schedule, A finishes at 10:20 in Panel II, so G now finishes at 10:20. A, after being moved to C's place, finishes at 10:40 in Panel II. This means G finishes 20 minutes before A, so G has to wait for 20 minutes if they are to leave together. Therefore, the correct answer is Option B – G has to wait 20 minutes.

The Correct Option isC
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is (C): D was the only candidate who could give company to E Explanation: After the schedule changes, E finishes at 10:50 in Panel I. Since D also finishes at 10:50 in Panel II, D is the only candidate who could accompany E at that time. Option A is incorrect because G finishes before E's interview ends, and B is not possible as F does not finish at the same time as E. Therefore, the correct answer is C – D was the only candidate who could give company to E.
