Question

Each of Akarsh, Bindu, Chetu, Divyansh, Ekam, Fatima and Gudiya has an exam on a different day of a week starting from Monday and ending on Sunday of the same week. Only one person has exam after Ekam. Only two persons have exam before Akarsh. Bindu has exam immediately before Divyansh and only one person has exam between Divyansh and Gudiya. Gudiya has exam on Sunday. Chetu's exam is not on the first day of the week. On which day does Chetu have the exam?

The correct answer is
Tuesday

This problem requires us to determine Chetu's exam day based on a set of conditions about the exam schedule for seven people.

Scheduling the Exam Days

We have seven people (Akarsh, Bindu, Chetu, Divyansh, Ekam, Fatima, Gudiya) and seven days (Monday to Sunday). Let's denote the days by their first letter: M, Tu, W, Th, F, Sa, Su.

Step 1: Place Gudiya and Ekam

  • Gudiya (G) has an exam on Sunday (Su).
  • Only one person has an exam after Ekam (E). This means Ekam must be on Saturday (Sa).

Current Schedule:

Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun
E G

Step 2: Place Akarsh

  • Only two people have exams before Akarsh (A). This means Akarsh is on Wednesday (W).

Updated Schedule:

Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun
A E G

Step 3: Place Bindu, Divyansh, and Gudiya

  • Bindu (B) has an exam immediately before Divyansh (D), forming a 'BD' block.
  • Only one person has an exam between Divyansh (D) and Gudiya (G). Since G is on Sunday, the sequence must be D, X, G.
  • This implies D is on Friday (F) and the person X is on Saturday (Sa). However, E is already on Saturday. This configuration (D, X, G) doesn't fit directly after placing E and G. Let's re-evaluate.
  • The constraint means there's exactly one day slot between D's day and G's day. G is Sunday. The day before Sunday is Saturday (E). The day before Saturday is Friday. The day before Friday is Thursday.
  • If D is on Thursday (Th), then Friday is between D and G. This doesn't fit as E is on Saturday.
  • Let's reconsider the "one person between D and G" constraint with G on Sunday. The sequence must be D _ G. So, D must be on Friday and Saturday must be between D and G. But E is on Saturday. This implies the sequence is D (Friday), E (Saturday), G (Sunday).
  • Place D on Friday (F).
  • Since B is immediately before D, B must be on Thursday (Th).

Updated Schedule:

Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun
A B D E G

Step 4: Place Chetu

  • The remaining people are Chetu (C) and Fatima (F).
  • The remaining days are Monday (M) and Tuesday (Tu).
  • Chetu's (C) exam is not on the first day (Monday).
  • Therefore, Chetu (C) must have the exam on Tuesday (Tu).
  • Fatima (F) has the exam on Monday (M).

Final Schedule

Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun
F C A B D E G

Based on this schedule, Chetu has the exam on Tuesday.
