Question

Using the same scheduling puzzle, which task is in slot 4?

• A. T1
• B. T2
• C. T3
• D. T4

Hint:

For slot-specific questions, use valid arrangements to find the consistent occupant.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

- Step 1: Valid arrangements: T1, T2, T3, T4 or T1, T2, T4, T3.
- Step 2: Slot 4: T4 in first, T3 in second.
- Step 3: T2 cannot be in 4. T4 is common in slot 4 due to “after T2”.
- Step 4: Verify T1, T2, T3, T4: Slot 4 = T4.
- Step 5: Check options: Option (4) is T4, which matches.
- Step 6: Ensure constraints are met.
