(l)
It can be colored by 4 colors. It requires at least 3 colors because
3
is a subgraph. If there are 3colors, all the coloring will be forced, and will come to a point where there is no color to use.Example of a 4 coloring.
a,d,g
with color 1,
b,e,h
with color 2,
c,f,i
with color 3, the rest are color 4.
(n)
3-colorable. It is the minimal amount of colors required because
3
is a subgraph. A possible 3 coloringis.
a,i,j,f 
with color 1,
b,d,h
with color 2 and
g,c,e
with color 3.

(a) The set of solar experiments are vertices. If there are overlaps, that is a edge. Searchs for the coloringof the vertices of the graph solves the scheduling problem.(b) 3-color able,
3
is a subgraph, thus that’s the minimal amount of colors required.
