Answer question based on the following information.
Alex Company has its office at the third floor of a multi - storied building in Mumbai. There are 5 rooms to be allotted to 5 managers (designated M1 to M5), each of whom will occupy one room. Each room has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some have the sea view, while others are closer to either the lift or the dining room, while some are more spacious. Each of the five managers was asked to rank the room preferences amongst the rooms 301, 302, 303, 304 and 305. Their preferences were recorded as follows:
Table:
Some managers did not indicate any preference for some rooms, as they did want to be there under any condition. The company decided to allot rooms to managers in such a way that the managers get rooms as per their best preference or close to that.
How many managers would get their rooms as per their best preference?
From the table, we can see that room no. 301 is preferred by only 1 manager. Hence, company will allocate room no. 301 to M5.
From the table, we can see that room no. 302 is preferred by 3 managers. Hence, company will allocate room no. 302 to anyone of three managers namely M1, M2 and M4. Remaining two managers won't able to get their best preference.
From the table, we can see that room no. 302 is preferred by only 1 manager. Hence, company will allocate room no. 303 to M3.Â
Hence, we can say that at most 3 managers will be able to get their best preference. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.Â
