a) The table below lists the flights and their arrival time window. Represent this with a graph where there is a vertex representing each flight and an edge between the vertices if the arrival time window coincides for the corresponding vertices.

Flight Number Arrival Time Window (24 hr)
AF 2056 8:00 - 8:15
DL1452 9:00-9:30
SW3211 14:00-14:20
DL1888 9:20-9:50
CA2287 13:50-14:15

b) How can we use this graph to find the minimum number of runways required to be allotted to flights such that two flights with coinciding arrival time windows are allotted different runways. (2M) c) What is the minimum number of runways required to allot to the flights such that no two flights with coinciding arrival windows are allotted the same runway?
