Respuesta :

Answer:

e. fifth

Explanation:

Car A should be scheduled as fifth in the sequence to repair and repaint. The Car A will take 10 hours for repair work which is highest of all other cars. The paint work is however lower than all other cars but since the repair work is to be done prior to repainting the car A should be schedule in the last.
