Solution
The correct option is C 10 For 120 students, the number of classes needed =12020=6
Each of 20 students attends 5 classes and these 5 classes of different subjects can be happening simultaneously.
So, number of classes needed to accommodate the students =6×5=30
Each teacher teaches 3 classes.
Hence, minimum number of teachers =303=10
