AI explanation

The sequence of duties cycles alphabetically through the 4 people. Over a 3-week period consisting of 15 working days, 15 full duty shifts are assigned. Dividing 15 shifts by the 4 people gives 3 full rounds for everyone, with 3 extra people working a fourth shift in the new cycle. Therefore, Anu works for 4 days, Joy works for 4 days, Pritam works for 4 days, and Zeba works for the least number of days at 3 days.
