Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below: Seven students J, K, L, M, N, O and P takes admission in a SCHOOL in seven different days viz., Monday to Sunday of a week but not necessarily in the same order. Two students take admission between K and N. K takes admission before N. O takes admission in one of the day after M. J takes admission on Wednesday. Only one student takes admission between J and M. L takes admission before M and after K. P does not take admission on Sunday.
How many persons take admission between K and O?
More than three
Students Admission Schedule Deduction
This problem requires us to determine the admission schedule for seven students (J, K, L, M, N, O, P) over seven days of a week (Monday to Sunday) based on a set of clues. Once the schedule is figured out, we need to count how many students are admitted between student K and student O.
Schedule Step-by-Step Analysis
Let's break down the clues to build the schedule:
- Clue 1 & 2: "Two students take admission between K and N. K takes admission before N." This establishes a sequence: K, Student, Student, N.
- Clue 4: "J takes admission on Wednesday." This places J on Wednesday.
- Clue 5 & 6: "Only one student takes admission between J and M" and "L takes admission before M and after K" (K ... L ... M).
Since J is on Wednesday, and only one student is between J and M, M must be on Friday (J on Wed, Student on Thu, M on Fri). This arrangement also requires K and L to be admitted before Friday, with K before L (K ... L ... M). This means K must be on Monday and L on Tuesday.
The schedule so far:
Monday: K
Tuesday: L
Wednesday: J
Thursday: Student between J & M
Friday: M - Using Clues 1 & 2 again: With K admitted on Monday, the sequence K, Student, Student, N implies that N must be admitted on Thursday.
- Updating Schedule:
Monday: K
Tuesday: L
Wednesday: J
Thursday: N
Friday: M - Clue 3: "O takes admission in one of the day after M." M is on Friday, so O must be admitted on Saturday or Sunday.
- Remaining Students & Days: The remaining students are O and P. The remaining days are Saturday and Sunday.
- Clue 7: "P does not take admission on Sunday." This means P must be admitted on Saturday. Consequently, O must be admitted on Sunday.
Admission Schedule Finalized
Based on the deductions, the complete admission schedule is as follows:
| Day | Student |
|---|---|
| Monday | K |
| Tuesday | L |
| Wednesday | J |
| Thursday | N |
| Friday | M |
| Saturday | P |
| Sunday | O |
Admissions Between K and O Calculation
Now, let's find the number of students admitted between K and O.
- Student K is admitted on Monday (Day $1$).
- Student O is admitted on Sunday (Day $7$).
- The students admitted on the days between Day $1$ and Day $7$ are those admitted on Day $2$, Day $3$, Day $4$, Day $5$, and Day $6$.
- These students are L, J, N, M, and P.
- Counting these students, we find there are 5 students. This number can be represented as $5$.
Comparing this count with the given options:
- Three
- Two
- None
- One
- More than three
Since $5$ is greater than $3$, the correct option is 'More than three'.
