The following processes are being scheduled using a preemptive, roundrobin scheduling algorithm. Each process is assigned a numerical priority, with a higher number indicating a higher relative priority. In addition to the processes listed below, the system also has an idle task (which consumes no CPU resources and is identified as Pidle ). This task has priority 0 and is scheduled whenever the system has no other available processes to run. The length of a time quantum is 10 units.
If a process is preempted by a higher-priority process, the preempted process is placed at the end of the queue.

In this question, they are talking about preemption of a lower-priority process by a higher priority process.... I mean, isn't it the case that in Round Robin, we neglect the priorities and schedule only on the basis of time quantum ?
