Question: 2 2 . Consider a single machine scheduling problem with 5 jobs ( / 1 to J 5 ) . The minimum mean flow time

22. Consider a single machine scheduling problem with 5 jobs (/1 to J5). The
minimum mean flow time for this problem is 25 days. Let the job sequence
corresponding to this minimum mean flow time be denoted by S.
For simplicity, let S = U1,J2,J3,J4,J5}. When the jobs are arranged in this
sequence, the respective job processing times follow an arithmetic
progression.
If the difference between the processing times of the last job (/5) and the first
job (/1) in this sequence is 16 days, find the processing times of all the five
jobs.
