Correct Answer:
Choice A) 21 performances

Solution:
Total time available for the show = 150 minutes
Time required for the introduction = 24 minutes
Time available for the performances = 150 - 24 = 126 minutes

Time of each performance = 6 minutes
So,

Number of performance = Total time available for the performance / Time of each performance 

Number of performance = 126/6 = 21

Therefore, 21 performances can be performed in the available time.
