Launch = 24k+2 , where k is number of days and 2 is the additional diff b/w 3 and 5
It could be 26,50,74,98. 98 matches the options. Let's work with that

Now the Q takes at least additional 16hrs after launch. so it could be 98+16= 114, no match or another 24hrs = 114+24=138 match

Answer 98,138

The campaign launch must occur at 5:00 PM on a day after Monday, so the time between the Monday 3:00 PM decision and launch must be a multiple of 24 hours plus 2 hours (to reach 5 PM) starting from Tuesday, which fits 98 hours (Friday 5 PM) among the options. The questionnaire is sent at 9:00 AM on a day after the launch, so it must be at least the next 9:00 AM after 98 hours. Calculating forward, the first 9:00 AM after Friday 5 PM is Sunday 9 AM, which is 138 hours after Monday 3 PM, making 138 the consistent questionnaire time. Thus, 98 hours for the launch and 138 hours for the questionnaire are jointly consistent with the given information.

Launch plan finalized at 3PM
Launch will be at 5PM
Questionnaire will be at 9AM

So launch will be at 24k+2 hrs after 3PM on monday
among options, this matches with 98 for k=4

5PM to 9AM the next day is 16hrs
Questionnaire is sent at 24m+16 hrs after 5PM launch day => 40hrs
=> 138 hrs from decision plan day

Thus answer:
Launch : 98
Questionnaire : 138

MON made the decision at 15:00
campaign time is 17:00, not on Monday
If campaign on Tue, gap is 9+17
If campaign on Wed, gap is 9+24+17
And so on, we know
The gap can be written as
9+24K+17=26+24A

Looking for options
Option-26=multiple of 24
Find 98

Next, find the survey time
Known: gap between campaign and survey
If campaign on Tue, survey on Wednesday
17:00--->9:00 7+9=16
If campaign on Tue, survey on Thursday
16+24B

From decision to ad to survey
(26+24A)+16+24B
(98)+16+24B
Option minus 114 is a multiple of 24
Get option 138

Marked the wrong ans by mistake:

Here's the right explaination:
3PM Monday to 5PM Tues is 26 hrs
adding 24 hours here for 3 more days will get us 98 (Fri 5PM)

Now, from 5PM Fri to Sat 9AM it is 16 hours (98+16=114)
adding 24 hours to it would give us 138 (Sun 9AM) as we need to count hours from Mon 3PM to Sun 9AM.

From 3:00 PM Monday to 5:00 PM Tuesday is = 26 hours, this option is not present, hence adding 24-hour increments for each additional day to check which option matches.

Wednesday at 5:00 PM = 26 + 24 = 50 hours

Thursday at 5:00 PM = 50 + 24 = 74 hours

Friday at 5:00 PM = 74 + 24 = 98 hours

Since the campaign must launch after Monday, all these values are valid. Among the given options, 98 hours is available.

The questionnaire is sent after the campaign launch, at 9:00 AM.

From 5:00 PM Friday (campaign launch) to 9:00 AM Saturday: 16 hours

Add this to the 98 hours up to the campaign launch: 98 + 16 = 114 hours. This option is not present, hence adding additional 24 hours more, we get

Sunday 9:00 AM = 114 + 24 = 138 hours

138 hours is among the given options.

Launch = 98 hours
Questionnaire = 138 hours

So this is what the process looks like:

Monday 3:00 pm the DECISION is made ---> x days later at 5:00 pm there is the LAUNCH ---> y days later at 9:00 am questionnaire is released

Launch:

For this one, we can say that the total number of hours after the decision is given by 2 hours (3:00 pm to 5:00 pm) + 24x (24hours for x days each)

So, the equation is Launch (Hours) = 2 + 24x

Testing it against the choices in the table, we can see that only 98 and 146 give us an integer value. This is important since the number of days has to be an integer else the number of hours would not add up.

Notice if we pick 146 as the number of hours for the launch, we have no choice to select for the questionnaire since the questionnaire was released after the launch, its value has to be greater than that of the launch.

So we pick 98 hours.

Questionnaire:

For this one, we can say

Questionnaire (Hours) = 18 + 24(x+y) [9 am of the next day is exactly 18 hours ahead of the 3 pm of the current day]

We test 138 and 146, these values, and only 138 gives an integer value for x + y,

So we pick 138 hours.


Answer:
Launch: 98 hours
Questionnaire: 138 hours

Given conditions,

Decision Time: Monday, 3:00 PM

Campaign Launch Time : someday after monday, 5:00 PM

Now, let's calculate the hours:
Scenario 1:
From Friday 3:00 PM to Saturday 3:00 PM: 24 hours
From Friday 3:00 PM to Friday 5:00 PM: 2 hours
Total Launch Hours = 96 hours + 2 hours = 98 hours.

Scenario 2:
From Saturday 3:00 PM to Sunday 3:00 PM: 24 hours
From Sunday 3:00 PM to Sunday 5:00 PM: 2 hours
Total Launch Hours = 144 hours + 2 hours = 146 hours.

both scenario 1 and scenario 2 satisfies the options, now lets check for Questionnaire

the chosen Launch value (L) and Questionnaire value (Q) must satisfy the relationship Q = L + 16.

Let's check the possible pairs from the available options:

If Launch is 98: The corresponding Questionnaire value would be 98 + 16 (5pm on friday to 9 am saturday) + 24 ( 9 am saturday to 9 am sunday)
= 98 + 16 + 24 = 138

Therefore,
Launch = 98
Questionnaire = 138

5 PM =. Some other day, Launch
, then we can write = 26+24*X ( additional days )

only 98 match the condition = 26 + 24*3 ( Launch )

9 Am = Questionnaire
Gap of a minimum of 16 hours after launch
Then equation = 98 ( gap from Monday ) + 16 + 24 *Y
Only 138 match = 98+ 16 + 24*1 ( Questionnaire ans )

Finalised - 3:00 PM on a Monday
=> Earliest possible time to launch the campaign = 5:00 PM on the next day (Tuesday)
=> Hours between finalisation and campaign launch = 3:00 PM Monday to 3:00 PM Tuesday (24 hours) + 2 hours (5:00 PM Tuesday) = 26 hours
Among the options, we will look for the one that equals 26 + a multiple of 24 (since each next day is 24 hours apart)
=> Hours between decision on Monday and campaign launch = 98 (26 + 24 + 24 + 24)

Since the questionnaire is on a day after the campaign launch, hours between decision and questionnaire > 98
=> The answer is either 138 or 146

Finalised - 3:00 PM on a Monday
=> Earliest possible time to send the questionnaire = 9:00 AM on the day after the next (Wednesday)
=> Hours between finalisation and questionnaire = 3:00 PM Monday to 3:00 AM Wednesday (36 hours) + 6 hours (9:00 AM Wednesday) = 42 hours
Between 138 and 146, we will look for the one that equals 42 + a multiple of 24 (since each next day is 24 hours apart)
=> Hours between decision on Monday and questionnaire = 138 (42 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 24)

Therefore, Launch = 98 and Questionnaire = 138

At 3:00 PM Monday , the marketing team finalised and approved the Launch.

5:00 PM on some day after Monday, the LAUNCH of Campaign ( CL )

9:00 AM on some day after the Campaign Launch (CL) : CQ - Customer Questionnaire would be sent.

We need to find the exact hours between 3:00 PM Monday and CL , and between 3:00 PM Monday and CQ.

3:00 pm Monday and 3:00 pm Tuesday is 24 hours. And 5 pm is two hours after 3:00 Pm .

The time between 3:00 PM Monday and CL can be expressed mathematically as 24K + 2.

When we look at the options only 98 hours matches this expression.

24K + 2 = 98 . Then 24K = 96. This implies , K = 4.

5 pm on some day to 5 AM on the next day is 12 hours. And 9 am is 4 hrs more than 5 am. So, totally 16 hours.

The answer for CQ should be more than 98 hours and the options which matches this criteria are : 138 and 146.

So the difference from 98 should be a multiple of 16. (136-98) = 38 which is NOT a multiple of 16.

(146 -98) = 48, which is a Multiple of 16. Hence the value for CQ is 146.

So, the hours for

CL = 98 hours.

CQ = 146 hours.

At exactly 3:00 PM on a Monday, the marketing team finalized and approved the launch plan for a new campaign and the following evaluation process.

(1) The campaign would be launched at 5:00 PM on some day after that Monday, and the
3pm to 5pm = 2 hours.
So, Launch = p*24 + 2


(2) customer questionnaire would be sent at 9:00 AM on some day after the campaign launch.
3pm to 9am = 18 hours
So, (a) Questionnaire = q*24 + 18 and (b) Questionnaire > Launch


Possible values for Launch = 26, 50, 74, 98, 122, 146, ...

Possible values for Questionnaire = 42, 66, 90, 114, 138, 162, ...

The option choices are:

42
66
84
98
138
146

For Launch, we have 2 values: 98 and 146. Since we need a Questionnaire value valid, that will be greater than Launch, we can discard 146. So, for Launch the answer is 98.

For Questionnaire we have 2 values: 66 and 138. Since we need a Questionnaire value greater than Launch, we can discard 66. So, for Launch the answer is 138.

Answers:
Launch: 98
Questionnaire: 138

For the Launch, we know that the least amount of hours between launch and decision is 26 hours. But we know that there could be extra days in between, so we can say that the number of hours between launch and decision is: 24K+26, where K is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

So the options for the first row are: 26,50,74,98,122,146
Where only 98 and 146 are available in column 1.

For the second column, we can calculate the time between launch and the questionnaire. Since questionnaires are at 9 AM some day after launch, the least amount of hours between Launch and the questionnaire is 16 hours. Or if there are days in between, it can be 24R+16, where R is an integer greater than or equal to 0, then we will have 16,40,64,88
Since the question asks for the number of hours between the decision and the questionnaire, we should add these numbers to the answer we had from the first column to have our number. We can get rid of 146 for the first column, since there is no number greater than it to be the for the questionnaire.

So we have 98 for the first column. We have to add each number in the set of {16,40,64,88,...} to see which of them are in the options. If we do that, we will have the numbers: 114,138,162,...
We can see 138 is in the options, so we have our answer.

So the answer is 98 for the first column and 138 for the second.

At exactly 3:00 PM on a Monday, the marketing team finalized and approved the launch plan for a new campaign and the following evaluation process. The campaign would be launched at 5:00 PM on some day after that Monday, and the customer questionnaire would be sent at 9:00 AM on some day after the campaign launch.

In the table, select for Launch the number of hours between the 3:00 PM decision on Monday and the 5:00 PM campaign launch, and select for Questionnaire the number of hours between the decision on Monday and the 9:00 AM time the questionnaire is sent that would be jointly consistent with the given information. Make only two selections, one in each column.

On 3 PM Monday => Plan is approved
Plan will be launched at 5 pm after Monday. So from 3pm Monday to 3 pm Tuesday = 24 hours + 2 hours

Let x is number of days
For Tuesday, 24x+2 => 26 where x=1
For Wednesday, 24x+2 =>50 where x=2
For Thursday 24x+2 =>74 where x=3

So we need to find from options which follows hours=24x+2
Only (98,146) follows as:
98=24*4+2 when x=4
146=24*6+2 when x=6

As 146 is the last option and the Questionnaire will be conducted after the Launch, we can remove option 146 for Launch hour.
Thus, Launch = 98 hours
Now Questionnaire takes place any day after Launch at 9 am. Then the hour difference would be from 5pm to 9 am = 16 hours
So 98+16=114 Not available in options

We will check for next day, adding 24 hours:
114+24 =138. Boom we got it.

Hence, Questionnaire= 138 hours

launch =(24 hrs* no of days)+2 hrs from the time of approval i.e 1500 hrs
so 24*4=96+2=98 consistent
now
no of hrs for questionnaire from the time of launch=( 24 hrs* no of days)+ 16 hrs
so =24*1=24+16=40 hrs
time from approval=98+40=138 hrs

Option D and Option E are the correct answers.

Lets try to understand the information mention in the question before trying to solve for it.

The question begins by telling us that a marketing team Monday at 3:00 PM has finalized and approved to launch a new campaign and the following evaluation process. Then it further tells us that th campaign will be launched at 5:00 PM on some day after the Monday, and the customer questionnaire will be send at 9:00 AM on some day after the campaign was launched.

Now the question asks us to find the number of hours between the decision time to the time when the campaign is launched and number of hours between the decision time to the time when the customer questionnaire is launched.

To find the number of hours between the decision time to the time when the campaign is launched we need to calculate the value of (24x + 2) hours, where x is the number of days because the question tells us that the campaign was not launched on the same day and whenever it is launched it is launched at 5:00 PM and each day has 24 hours in it. Lets understand it with the help of an example: Lets suppose the campaign is launched on Tuesday at 5:00 Pm then the number of hours will be 26 hours i.e. (24*1 +2 = 26 Hours).

Lets try by putting in the values given in the option to check which one of them satisfies the equation.

Let number of hours between the 3:00 PM decision on Monday and the 5:00 PM campaign launch = 42 hours
=>24x + 2 = 42
=>24x = 40, Not possible as the time at this hour will not be 5:00 PM. Eliminated

Let number of hours between the 3:00 PM decision on Monday and the 5:00 PM campaign launch = 66 hours
=>24x + 2 = 66
=>24x = 64, Not possible as the time at this hour will not be 5:00 PM. Eliminated

Let number of hours between the 3:00 PM decision on Monday and the 5:00 PM campaign launch = 84 hours
=>24x + 2 = 84
=>24x = 82, Not possible as the time at this hour will not be 5:00 PM. Eliminated

Let number of hours between the 3:00 PM decision on Monday and the 5:00 PM campaign launch = 98 hours
=>24x + 2 = 98
=>24x = 96 => x = 4 Days, This is the correct answer as it meets all the conditions for which we are looking for. Selected (Option D)

Now for the time between the number of hours between the decision on Monday and the 9:00 AM time the questionnaire is sent we won't consider the above options again because the question tells us that the questionnaire is send after the campaign is launched. And the formula to calculate this is => 24x + 18 because the questions tells us that questionnaire will be send at 9:00 AM.

=> Let number of hours between the 3:00 PM decision on Monday and the 9:00 AM questionnaire launch = 138 hours
=>24x + 18 = 138
=>24x = 120
=>x = 5 Days, This is the correct answer as it meets all the conditions for which we are looking for. Selected (Option E)

So from here we can conclude that Option D and Option E are our answers.

To get to 5pm the next day, 3pm to 3pm is 24hours + 2 hours

Therefore to get the launch time, I did 24x+2. Where x is the multiplier

x=4 satisfies the equation

Lunchtime is thus 24(4)+2=98

Questionnaire time; starting from our launch time which is 5pm. 9am the next day is 12y+4
this is because 5pm to 5am is 12hours + 4 hours will get us to 9am
y=3 satisfies the equation

Questionnaire time = launch time + (12y+4)
98+(12*3+4)= 138
