max viewing hours ; 2 to 3 hours ; 5 hours
and min viewing hours ; 1 to 2 hours ; 1 hour
total recording time ; 6 hours
hence net viewing hours

A. \(0 \leq h \leq 1\)

B. \(1 \leq h \leq 2\)

C. \(2 \leq h \leq 3\)

D. \(0 \leq h \leq 2\)

E. \(1 \leq h \leq 3\)

Tuesday: Min = 4; Max = 4
Wednesday: Min = 4 - 2 = 2; Max = 4 - 1 =3
Thursday: Min = 2 + 2 = 4; Max = 3 + 2 = 5
Friday: Min = 4 - 3 = 1; Max = 5 - 2 = 3

Hence \(1 \leq h \leq 3\)

Solution:

The total recording time is 4 + 2 = 6 hours. The total viewing time is between 1 + 2 = 3 hours and 2 + 3 = 5 hours. Therefore, the number of hours of recorded programs Jane had not yet viewed by the end of Friday is between 6 - 5 = 1 hour and 6 - 3 = 3 hours. That is, 1 ≤ h ≤ 3.

Wednesday Balance: \(2≤h≤3\) [Deducting maximum viewing 2 and minimum 1 from recording 4]

Thursday Balance : \(4≤h≤5\) [Adding new recording of 2 hours with wednesday]

Friday Balance :\(1≤h≤3\) [Deducting maximum viewing time 3 and minimum viewing time from Thrusday]

The answer is \(E.\)

SOLUTION:

A NEW OG 2021 QUESTION

According to the table,

Total RECORDING TIME = 4+2 (Tue+ Thur) = 6 hrs

The time of viewing is 1+2=3 hrs and a 3+2=5 hrs and

hence the time NOT invested in viewing is

6-3 = 3hrs (Maximum)&

6-5 = 1 hour (Minimum)

Hence 1<=h<=3 is the range (OPTION E)

Hope this helps :thumbsup:
