Visa processing CAT 2023 Slot 1 DILR Set

 A visa processing office (VPO) accepts visa applications in four categories – US, UK,

Schengen, and Others. The applications are scheduled for processing in twenty 15-minute

slots starting at 9:00 am and ending at 2:00 pm. Ten applications are scheduled in each

slot.

There are ten counters in the office, four dedicated to US applications, and two each for

UK applications, Schengen applications and Others applications. Applicants are called in

for processing sequentially on a first-come-first-served basis whenever a counter gets

freed for their category. The processing time for an application is the same within each

category. But it may vary across the categories. Each US and UK application requires 10

minutes of processing time. Depending on the number of applications in a category and

time required to process an application for that category, it is possible that an applicant for

a slot may be processed later.

On a particular day, Ira, Vijay and Nandini were scheduled for Schengen visa processing in

that order. They had a 9:15 am slot but entered the VPO at 9:20 am. When they entered

the office, exactly six out of the ten counters were either processing applications, or had

finished processing one and ready to start processing the next.

Mahira and Osman were scheduled in the 9:30 am slot on that day for visa processing in

the Others category.

The following additional information is known about that day.

1. All slots were full.

2. The number of US applications was the same in all the slots. The same was true for the

other three categories.

3. 50% of the applications were US applications.

4. All applicants except Ira, Vijay and Nandini arrived on time.

5. Vijay was called to a counter at 9:25 am.
