The correct answer is
P

To determine who has the exam on Monday, let's consider the given conditions and solve the problem step-by-step.

  1. We know that the days of the week are: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
  2. It is given that M has an exam on Wednesday. Hence, we place M on Wednesday.
  3. K has an exam immediately before M, which places K on Tuesday.
  4. Only two people have exams between P and R:
    • To satisfy this condition, P and R could be on: (1) Monday and Thursday, (2) Tuesday and Friday, (3) Wednesday and Saturday, or (4) Thursday and Sunday.
  5. R's exam is neither on Sunday nor on Monday. Thus, R cannot be on Monday, eliminating the possibility where P is on Thursday. This leaves us with the only possible arrangement for P and R as P on Monday and R on Thursday.
  6. N has an exam immediately after S:
    • J has an exam immediately before S. This sequence must be placed in the remaining days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday).
  7. Placing J, S, and N:
    • If S were on Friday, then N would be on Saturday, and J would need to be on Thursday which is occupied by R.
    • If S were on Saturday, then N would be on Sunday, and J would be on Friday. This fulfills both conditions: N after S, and J before S.
  8. Thus, the final arrangement is:
    • Monday: P
    • Tuesday: K
    • Wednesday: M
    • Thursday: R
    • Friday: J
    • Saturday: S
    • Sunday: N

Therefore, the person who has the exam on Monday is P.
