In the flight, sitting is arranged in 30 rows, numbered 1 to 30, each consisting of 6 seats, marked by letters A to F from left to right, respectively. Seats A to C are to the left of the aisle (the passage running from the front of the aircraft to the back), and seats D to F are to the right of the aisle. Seats A and F are by the windows and referred to as Window seats, C and D are by the aisle and are referred to as Aisle seats while B and E are referred to as Middle seats. Seats marked by consecutive letters are called consecutive seats (or seats next to each other). A seat number is a combination of the row number, followed by the letter indicating the position in the row; e.g., 1A is the left window seat in the first row, while 12E is the right middle seat in the 12th row.
Cheap Air charges Rs.1000 extra for any seats in Rows 1, 12 and 13 as those have extra legroom. For Rows 2-10, it charges Rs.300 extra for Window seats and Rs.500 extra for Aisle seats. For Rows 11 and 14 to 20, it charges Rs.200 extra for Window seats and Rs.400 extra for Aisle seats. All other seats are available at no extra charge.
The following are known:

1. The eight friends were seated in six different rows.
2. They occupied 3 Window seats, 4 Aisle seats and 1 Middle seat.
3. Seven of them had to pay extra amounts, totaling to Rs. 4600, for their choices of seat. One of them did not pay any additional amount for his/her choice of seat.
4. Jayanta, Ajit and Byomkesh were sitting in seats marked by the same letter, in consecutive rows in increasing order of row numbers; but all of them paid different amounts for their choices of seat. One of these amounts may be zero.
5. Gargi was sitting next to Kikira, and Manik was sitting next to Jayanta.

The clinic has three rooms numbered 1, 2 and 3 which are assigned to the three doctors as per the following table.





The clinic is open from 9 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. every Monday to Saturday.

On arrival each patient is handed a numbered token indicating their position in the queue, starting with token number 1 every day. As soon as any doctor becomes free, the next patient in the queue enters that emptied room for consultation. If at any time, more than one room is free then the waiting patient enters the room with the smallest number. For example, if the next two patients in the queue have token numbers 7 and 8 and if rooms numbered 1 and 3 are free, then patient with token number 7 enters room number 1 and patient with token number 8 enters room number 3.

What is the maximum number of patients that the clinic can cater to on any single day?

The queue is never empty on one particular Saturday. Which of the three doctors would earn the maximum amount in consultation charges on that day?

A
Dr. Wayne
B
Both Dr. Wayne and Dr. Kane
C
Dr. Ben
D
Dr. Kane
Solution:
If all the doctors served the patients one after the other, then in 2.5 hrs, Ben will serve 15 patients, Kane will serve 10 patients and Wayne will serve 6 patients.

Ben will earn = 15 × 100 = Rs. 1500.
Kane will earn = 10 × 200 = Rs. 2000.
Wayne will earn = 6 × 300 = Rs. 1800.
So, Kane will earn the maximum amount in consultation charges on that day.

As soon as any doctor becomes free, the next patient in the queue enters that emptied room for consultation. If at any time, more than one room is free then the waiting patient enters the room with the smallest number. For example, if the next two patients in the queue have token numbers 7 and 8 and if rooms numbered 1 and 3 are free, then patient with token number 7 enters room number 1 and patient with token number 8 enters room number 3.

Solution:
If all the doctors served the patients one after the other, then in 2.5 hrs, Ben will serve 15 patients, Kane will serve 10 patients and Wayne will serve 6 patients. A total of 31 patients can be served on a particular day.


Solution:
If all the doctors served the patients one after the other, then in 2.5 hrs, Ben will serve 15 patients, Kane will serve 10 patients and Wayne will serve 6 patients.

Ben will earn = 15 × 100 = Rs. 1500.
Kane will earn = 10 × 200 = Rs. 2000.
Wayne will earn = 6 × 300 = Rs. 1800.
So, Kane will earn the maximum amount in consultation charges on that day.
