She asks you to schedule 40 minutes for each interview and 10 minutes between interviews. She can begin seeing candidates at 9:00 A.M. and does not want to conduct any interviews after 1:00 P.M. What is the greatest number of interviews you can schedule on Thursday? 5 6 8 9 10

Solution

If x interviews are conducted between 9.00 am --1.00pm

So if x interviews no. of breaks would be (x-1)

So, Total time of interview = 40x

Toatl break time = 10(x-1)

So, 40x + 10(x-1) = 4*60

40x +10x -10 = 240

x = 5

Solution max. five (05) interviews
