Barry's Printing Press has a printing machine whose performance is measured on a scale of 0 to 10 points, with 10 being the best rating. Barry wants the machine's performance rating to be as high as possible when the machine initiates a particular printing task. However, he has found that the rating is affected by how soon the papers are loaded and how long the printing runs. Every day, the first printing task starts at noon, when the machine has the performance rating of 10. Since the second printing task starts exactly after 56 minutes, the printer automatically takes all of the remaining time to print the loaded task.Until the second task starts, the machine's only activities are loading paper and printing for the first task.
If the machine spends more than 32 minutes or less than 16 minutes to print a load, its performance rating is reduced by 4 points. Each load constitutes of 100 papers and takes 8 minutes to load into the machine. For additional loads after the second load, the machine cools down and has to later print faster. This reduces the performance by 1 point per additional load.
In the following table, select for Rating the greatest performance rating that Barry's Printing Press can achieve and select for Loads the number of paper loads in a printing task to achieve that rating. Make only two selections, one in each column.

The question doesn't have best of the wordings and slighlty skewed and misleading.
The wordings In the following table, select for Rating the greatest performance rating that Barry's Printing Press can achieve and select for Loads the number of paper loads in a printing task to achieve that rating. Make only two selections, one in each column. are not correct. Surely, if only one load is there, the greatest performance will be perfect 10. It will take 8 minutes to load and say 20 minutes, for printing, making the total as 28 minutes. For next 28 minutes, the machine relaxes and waits for the second task. Perfect scenario to achieve perfect 10 rating.
