The floor of a workshop is in the shape of a square where four machines are in cells 1, 3, 5 and 7. In cell 9, in the centre, a robot is placed which supplies raw material to all the four machines. 1. The finished product from cell 1 is passed to cell 2, cell 3 to cell 4, cell 5 to cell 6 and cell 7 to cell 8 through a conveyor belt. Every machine sends a signal to the robot, one second before it needs a material. The robot receives the signal without any time delay and supplies the material to respective machine and comes back. It takes one second each way. 2. If there is more than one signal at a time, then it supplies material to the machine whose cell number is smaller as the cells are numbered as per the importance of their operations. 3. When there are no signals from cells 1, 3, 5 or 7, the robot checks the availability of the finished goods in cell 2, 4, 6 and 8 without any time lag and brings them to cell 9 in 4 seconds (2 seconds each way) 4. If there is a signal from cells 1, 3, 5 and 7 when the robot is bringing finished goods, they are executed after the robot comes back. If in those two seconds there are more than 2 signals, then they are executed in the sequence in which they were made and if made simultaneously, the one from the cell with a smaller number is executed first. 5. There is a conveyor belt attached to the centre cell, which supplies the raw material and takes away the finished goods continuously. If a robot receives a signal in the beginning of the 1st, 3rd, 8th, 9th, second from cells 3, 1, 5 and 7 respectively and recognizes the availability of the finished good in cell 6 in the beginning of the seventh second, then answer the following questions.

DIRECTIONS for the question: Read the information given below and answer the question that follows.

The floor of a workshop is in the shape of a square where four machines are in cells 1, 3, 5 and 7. In cell 9, in the centre, a robot is placed which supplies raw material to all the four machines. 1. The finished product from cell 1 is passed to cell 2, cell 3 to cell 4, cell 5 to cell 6 and cell 7 to cell 8 through a conveyor belt. Every machine sends a signal to the robot, one second before it needs a material. The robot receives the signal without any time delay and supplies the material to respective machine and comes back. It takes one second each way. 2. If there is more than one signal at a time, then it supplies material to the machine whose cell number is smaller as the cells are numbered as per the importance of their operations. 3. When there are no signals from cells 1, 3, 5 or 7, the robot checks the availability of the finished goods in cell 2, 4, 6 and 8 without any time lag and brings them to cell 9 in 4 seconds (2 seconds each way) 4. If there is a signal from cells 1, 3, 5 and 7 when the robot is bringing finished goods, they are executed after the robot comes back. If in those two seconds there are more than 2 signals, then they are executed in the sequence in which they were made and if made simultaneously, the one from the cell with a smaller number is executed first. 5. There is a conveyor belt attached to the centre cell, which supplies the raw material and takes away the finished goods continuously. If a robot receives a signal in the beginning of the 1st, 3rd, 8th, 9th, second from cells 3, 1, 5 and 7 respectively and recognizes the availability of the finished good in cell 6 in the beginning of the seventh second, then answer the following questions.

The machine in cell 7 receives its raw material in the end of the ……second.
