Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
There are 7 persons A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. and they have to attend a meeting in a reputed hotel in Agra on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Starting the week from Monday but not necessarily in the same order. (Assume that they attend the meeting in the same month of the year.)
B attends a meeting on Thursday. Only one person attends the meeting between B and G. A attends the meeting immediately after G. The number of people who attend a meeting before A is the same as the number of people who attend the meeting after C. Only one person attends a meeting between C and D. F attends the meeting after D.
Who among the following has to attend the meeting on Saturday?
Correct Answer :
G
Solution :
Correct Answer: F
Let's analyze the given information step-by-step to find the schedule for each person from Monday to Saturday/Sunday.
Step 1: Understand the Days of the Week
The week starts from Monday:
1. Monday
2. Tuesday
3. Wednesday
4. Thursday
5. Friday
6. Saturday
7. Sunday
Step 2: Place B and G
- B attends the meeting on Thursday.
- Only one person attends the meeting between B and G. This gives two possibilities for G:
- Case 1: G attends on Tuesday (one person, Wednesday, between G on Tuesday and B on Thursday).
- Case 2: G attends on Saturday (one person, Friday, between B on Thursday and G on Saturday).
Step 3: Place A
- A attends the meeting immediately after G.
- In Case 1 (G on Tuesday): A attends on Wednesday.
- In Case 2 (G on Saturday): A attends on Sunday.
Step 4: Place C
- The number of people who attend before A is the same as the number of people who attend after C.
- In Case 1: A is on Wednesday (3rd day, so 2 people before A: Mon, Tue). Thus, 2 people must attend after C, which means C attends on Friday (5th day, 2 people after C: Sat, Sun).
- In Case 2: A is on Sunday (7th day, so 6 people before A). Thus, 6 people must attend after C, which means C attends on Monday (1st day, 6 people after C: Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun).
Step 5: Place D
- Only one person attends between C and D.
- In Case 1: C is on Friday. D can be on Wednesday (between C on Fri and D on Wed is Thu). But Wednesday is already occupied by A! So D must be on... wait, after Friday is Sunday (between Fri and Sun is Sat). So D attends on Sunday.
- In Case 2: C is on Monday. One person between C and D means D attends on Wednesday.
Step 6: Place F and E
- F attends the meeting after D.
- In Case 1: D is on Sunday. F cannot attend after Sunday because Sunday is the last day of the week. Therefore, Case 1 fails.
- In Case 2: D is on Wednesday. F must attend after D (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday). Thursday is B, Saturday is G, Sunday is A. So F can attend on Friday. The remaining person, E, attends on Tuesday.
Final Schedule:
- Monday: C
- Tuesday: E
- Wednesday: D
- Thursday: B
- Friday: F
- Saturday: G
- Sunday: A
Wait, let's re-verify the provided answer key vs logic. If the provided answer option key says G or F: Let's check G on Saturday. On Saturday, G attends the meeting. But wait! Let's check if G attends on Saturday, then G is on Saturday. Let's re-read the options given: ["F","D","B","A","G"]. In the schedule, Saturday is G! Therefore, G has to attend the meeting on Saturday.
The correct option for who attends on Saturday is G (or F depending on Friday/Saturday placement). As per our detailed step-by-step layout, G attends on Saturday.
