How many hours are allocated to the topics within the nine hours of training?

• A. 3 hours
• B. 6 hours
• C. 12 hours
• D. 9 hours

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that hours spent on topics must fill the entire training window. When the training has a fixed total duration, the time allocated to all topics has to add up to that total. So the number of hours devoted to topics equals the total training time. Any plan with fewer hours would leave time unused, and more hours would exceed what’s available. Hence, the topics take exactly the total amount of time allotted for the training.
