Explanation / Answer

a.) Consider floor numbers are 1,2 and 3. Since buttons are pushed. therefore atleast one person will exit at each floor. So, in best case, 5 people can exit from a floor. But it is not guaranteed. Other possible cases are:

at one floor, 2 people, second - 2 people, third - 3 people

at one floor - 1, second - 2, third -4

first - 1, second - 3 and third 3.

So, in all the cases, minimum 3 people will be the largest number that can be guaranteed to exit from the elevator at one of the 3 floors.
