VP (Operations) regularly visits the plant after a gap of 3 days. VP (Sales) regularly visits the plant after a gap of 5 days. The VPs do not deviate from their individual schedules. CEO of the company meets the VPs when all the three VPs come to the plant together. CEO is one leave from January 5th to January 28th, 2012. Last time CEO met the VPs on January 3, 2012. When is the next time CEO will meet all the VPs?
Answer & solution
- A
February 6, 2012
- B
February 7, 2012
February 8, 2012
- D
February 9, 2012
- E
None of the above
VP (HR) visits on every third day, VP (Operations) visits on every fourth day and VP (Sales) visits on every sixth day.
Hence, all of them will visit together on every twelfth day.
Now, all VPs visited together on January 3, 2012.
Hence, they will visit on, 15th January, 27th January, 8th February and so on.
Hence, option (c).
