A company specialises on IT training. At the time being, the company has 20 instructors, offers 30 courses and can handle the maximum number of 600 trainees. But, these numbers might rise in the future. Each trainee registers for the minimum of 1 and maximum of 3 courses. The number of trainees which can register for a course is not limited. Each course is assigned to maximum number of 5 instructors. A course might be assigned to no instructors, if there are no trainees registered for it. An instructor might be assigned to a maximum of 10 courses. Each course is organised in 10 sessions.
Each session is taught by one instructor, only. An instructor might be in charge of any number of sessions (obviously, an implicit constraint exists, namely that instructor can’t be in charge of more than 100 sessions, but you might disregard this constraint).
