28. In a factory, there are 5 jobs that need to go through 2 stages of processing. Stage 1
of a job must be completed before Stage 2 can begin. The processing times of the 5
jobs over the 2 stages are given in the table below.
Processing Time on Stage 1 Processing Time on Stage 2
(in seconds) (in seconds)
Job A 68 37
Job B 82 74
Job C 30 88
Job D 52 8
Job E 28 51

There is only one machine for each stage, and so jobs will potentially need to idle
while waiting for a free machine. To maximize efficiency, the machines start to
process the next job the moment they are free, and the desired aim is to arrange the
order of the jobs such that the total processing time will be the shortest. What is the
shortest possible time (in seconds) needed to complete the processing of all the jobs
over the 2 stages?

1
questions. Peter answered 4 of the total number of questions incorrectly, while
Ryan answered 5 questions incorrectly. The number of questions that both

of questions that both answered correctly is more than half of the total number of
questions, find the number of questions that both Peter and Ryan answered
correctly.
