Aditi has exam on the day immediately after Riya. Only two people have exams between Aryan and Riya. Rahul has exam on the day immediately after Kirti. Aryan has exam on the day immediately before Tanvi. How many people have exams after Mia?

The correct answer is
2

This problem requires determining the exam schedule based on given clues to find the number of exams scheduled after Mia's.

Exam Schedule Deduction

We have 7 days (Monday to Sunday) and 7 people. Let's map the schedule step-by-step:

  • Aryan's exam is on Wednesday (Wed).
  • Aryan's exam is immediately before Tanvi's exam. Therefore, Tanvi's exam is on Thursday (Thu).
  • There are exactly two people with exams between Aryan (Wed) and Riya. This means Riya's exam must be on Saturday (Sat). (Wed -> Thu(P1) -> Fri(P2) -> Sat(Riya)).
  • Aditi's exam is immediately after Riya's exam. Since Riya's is on Saturday, Aditi's is on Sunday (Sun).

The schedule so far:

  • Monday: ?
  • Tuesday: ?
  • Wednesday: Aryan
  • Thursday: Tanvi
  • Friday: ?
  • Saturday: Riya
  • Sunday: Aditi

Placing Remaining People

The remaining people are Rahul, Kirti, and Mia. The remaining days are Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.

  • Rahul has an exam on the day immediately after Kirti. This means Kirti and Rahul must occupy consecutive days. The only consecutive available slots are Monday and Tuesday. So, Kirti has an exam on Monday (Mon), and Rahul has an exam on Tuesday (Tue).
  • The only person left is Mia, and the only day left is Friday (Fri).

Final Exam Schedule

The complete schedule is:

  • Monday: Kirti
  • Tuesday: Rahul
  • Wednesday: Aryan
  • Thursday: Tanvi
  • Friday: Mia
  • Saturday: Riya
  • Sunday: Aditi

Exams After Mia

Mia has an exam on Friday. The exams scheduled after Friday are:

  • Riya (Saturday)
  • Aditi (Sunday)

Therefore, 2 people have exams after Mia.
