20.In a robotics competition, only juniors and seniors may participate. Moreover, the
competition is noted for its unique point system, where each task completed by a
junior is awarded points equal in value to the number of seniors sent from their
school, and vice versa. Lastly, the number of seniors should be at most four times
the number of juniors. During the competition, School X managed to score an
unknown amount of points before being disqualified in the finals. If School X’s
team was composed of 15 members and they sent in as many seniors as they
possibly could, how many points did they score? Assume that each member
successfully completed their one and only assigned task.
