Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:

Five friends Satish, Rajesh, Rehman, Rakesh and vineet, - each presents one paper to their class on physics, Zoology, Botany, English or Geology – one day a week, Monday through Friday.

(i) Vineet does not present English and does not give his presentation on Tuesday.
(ii) Rajesh makes the Geology presentation and does not do it on Monday or Friday.
(iii) The Physics presentation is made on Thursday.
(iv) Rehman makes his presentation, which is not on English, on Wednesday.
(v) The Botany presentation is on Friday and not by Rakesh.
(vi) Satish makes his presentation on Monday.

What day does Rakesh make his presentation on?

The correct option is Thursday.

Let's analyze the given clues step-by-step to determine the schedule of presentations and subjects for all five friends from Monday through Friday.

Step 1: Identify the friends, days, and subjects
Friends: Satish, Rajesh, Rehman, Rakesh, Vineet
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
Subjects: Physics, Zoology, Botany, English, Geology

Step 2: Direct placements from the clues
1. Clue (vi): Satish makes his presentation on Monday.
2. Clue (iv): Rehman makes his presentation on Wednesday.
3. Clue (iii): The Physics presentation is made on Thursday.
4. Clue (v): The Botany presentation is on Friday.

Step 3: Determine the day for Rajesh and his subject
Clue (ii) states that Rajesh presents Geology, and it is not on Monday or Friday.
Since Monday (Satish) and Wednesday (Rehman) are already occupied by other friends, and Friday is excluded for Rajesh, Rajesh must present on Tuesday or Thursday.
However, Clue (iii) states that Thursday is Physics, but Rajesh presents Geology. Therefore, Rajesh cannot present on Thursday.
Thus, Rajesh presents Geology on Tuesday.

Step 4: Determine the day for Rakesh and Vineet
The days remaining for Rakesh and Vineet are Thursday and Friday.
Clue (v) specifies that Botany is on Friday and is not presented by Rakesh.
Therefore, Rakesh cannot present on Friday. This leaves Thursday for Rakesh.
Consequently, Vineet presents on Friday (Botany).

Step 5: Summary Table

Monday: Satish
Tuesday: Rajesh (Geology)
Wednesday: Rehman
Thursday: Rakesh (Physics)
Friday: Vineet (Botany)

Therefore, Rakesh makes his presentation on Thursday.
