Solution

The correct option is A 1 hour and 10 minutes
Duration of the time slot = 2 hours and 20 minutes

Time slot is divided into two time slots of same duration.

So, duration of new time slots = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ Duration of the time slot

We know that half of 2 hours = 1 hour and half of 20 minutes = 10 minutes.

Hence, duration of new time slots = 1 hour amd 10 minutes

Each elective is scheduled for 6 hours, one in the morning slot and the other in the afternoon slot. No elective is scheduled for 6 hours on the same day.

vi. Professors D and C handle the sessions in the morning and afternoon slots, respectively, on Friday.
vii. Professor E is available only in the morning slot on Monday.

Common Solution :

From statements i, ii, and iii, we get the following table. R and T are scheduled on the same day. Only on Monday and Thursday, we have both slots empty. Hence, R and T are scheduled on Monday and Thursday only. So, S must be scheduled on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Days/Slots	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thurs	Fri

	RT	PS	QS	RT	PQ

From statement iv, S is handled by Professor A on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.
From statements v and vii, Professor E handles elective T on Monday morning. Hence, Professor B handles elective R on Thursday morning.
