Study the given information carefully and answer the questions given below.
Seven students—A, B, C, D, E, F, and G—give presentations on seven different subjects: History, Math, Science, Art, Music, Geography, and Civics, from Monday to Sunday. A presents History on Monday. Three presentations are scheduled between A and E, who presents Music. The number of students presenting before B is the same as the number of students presenting after F, who presents Geography on Saturday. Four students present between B and the one who presents Civics. C presents immediately after the one who presents Math, and immediately before D, who presents Art.
Which combination is true regarding the given arrangement?
Correct Answer :
Tuesday - Math
Solution :
The correct option is Tuesday - Math.
Step-by-step Explanation and Derivation:
Let us analyze the given information step-by-step to determine the complete schedule from Monday to Sunday for the seven students (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) and their respective subjects (History, Math, Science, Art, Music, Geography, Civics).
1. Days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
2. Direct Clues:
• A presents History on Monday.
• F presents Geography on Saturday.
3. Position of E:
• Three presentations are scheduled between A and E.
• Since A is on Monday (1st day), E must be on Friday (5th day) because 1 + 3 + 1 = 5.
• E presents Music on Friday.
4. Position of B:
• The number of students presenting before B is the same as the number of students presenting after F.
• F presents on Saturday (6th day), so there is 1 student (Sunday) presenting after F.
• Therefore, there must be 1 student presenting before B, which places B on Tuesday.
5. Position of Civics:
• Four students present between B (Tuesday) and the one who presents Civics.
• Since B is on Tuesday (2nd day), moving 4 days after Tuesday gives 2 + 4 + 1 = 7th day, which is Sunday.
• Thus, the presentation on Sunday is Civics.
6. Positions of C, D, Math, and Art:
• C presents immediately after the one who presents Math, and immediately before D, who presents Art.
• This means we need a sequence of two consecutive days for C and D (Math → C → D - Art).
• The remaining available days for C and D are Wednesday and Thursday.
• Therefore, C presents on Wednesday and D presents on Thursday.
• Since C is immediately after Math, the presentation on Tuesday (B's turn) must be Math.
• D presents Art on Thursday.
7. Remaining Student and Subject:
• The only remaining student is G, who must present on Sunday.
• The only remaining subject is Science, which must be presented on Wednesday by C.
Final Arrangement Schedule:
• Monday: A - History
• Tuesday: B - Math
• Wednesday: C - Science
• Thursday: D - Art
• Friday: E - Music
• Saturday: F - Geography
• Sunday: G - Civics
Checking the given options:
• Friday - Geography (Incorrect, Friday is E - Music)
• Tuesday - Math (Correct)
• Thursday - Geography (Incorrect, Thursday is D - Art)
• Wednesday - Music (Incorrect, Wednesday is C - Science)
• Sunday - Science (Incorrect, Sunday is G - Civics)
Hence, the true combination is Tuesday - Math.
