Explanation: Suppose a new patient enters the clinic just when the first person (in line) enter the doctor's room, making the total waiting people be 4. Now, since a patient gets diagnosed and leaves the clinic every five minutes, means that time to consult a patient is 5 minutes.
Now, for the person who has just entered the clinic and joined the line, the total time taken in the clinic will be the sum of
A) time taken by the current patient (5min)
B) time taken by 3 people ahead of him (3 x 5 min)
C) time taken by him while getting diagnosed (5 min)
