0. In a typical mobile phone system with hexagonal cells, it is forbidden to reuse a frequency band in adjacent cells. If 840 frequencies are available, how many can be used in a given cell?

  • Option : A
  • Explanation :

    Each cell has six other adjacent cells, in a hexagonal grid. If the central cell uses frequency group A, its six adjacent cells can use B, C, B, C, B, and C respectively. In other words, only 3 unique cells are needed. So the answer is 840/3 = 280 frequencies.
