Neco 2024 Agricultural Science Question 5

An agricultural extension officer is organizing Farmer Field School (FFS) sessions on integrated pest management. The program must reach at least \(120\) farmer participants, each session can accommodate a maximum of \(25\) participants, and each participant must attend at least \(4\) sessions to be certified. The officer has \(6\) weeks available, with two possible session days per week (Tuesday and Thursday). However, the Thursday of week 3 coincides with a local market day and cannot be used. Each session lasts \(3\) hours. Determine the minimum number of sessions required to satisfy the attendance requirement, calculate the total contact hours delivered, and indicate whether the schedule fits within the available weeks.
