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.
Which of the following combination is correct
K – Monday
This problem requires us to determine the correct combination of a student and their admission day based on a set of logical conditions. We need to arrange seven students (J, K, L, M, N, O, P) into seven days of the week (Monday to Sunday).
Step-by-Step Deduction of the Schedule
Let's break down the information and build the schedule step-by-step:
- Given: Seven students (J, K, L, M, N, O, P) and seven days (Monday to Sunday).
- Clue 1: J takes admission on Wednesday.
- We can fix J's position: Wed: J
- Clue 2: Only one student takes admission between J and M.
- Since J is on Wednesday, M can be on Monday (with Tuesday in between) or Friday (with Thursday in between).
- If M is Monday: Mon(M), Tue(?), Wed(J). This is possible.
- If M is Friday: Wed(J), Thu(?), Fri(M). This is also possible.
- Clue 3: L takes admission before M and after K.
- This establishes a sequence: K ... L ... M.
- If M were Monday (from Clue 2), L would have to be admitted *before* Monday, which is impossible.
- Therefore, M cannot be Monday. M must be on Friday.
- So, the sequence is J (Wed), Thu (?), M (Fri).
- Now, K ... L ... M (Fri). L must be before Friday, and K must be before L. L can be Tuesday or Thursday. K must be before L.
- Clue 4: Two students take admission between K and N. K takes admission before N.
- This means there are exactly two days between K's admission day and N's admission day, with K coming first. If K is on day $d_K$, N is on day $d_N$, then $d_N = d_K + 3$.
- Combining Clues for K, L, M:
- We know: Wed(J), Thu(?), Fri(M).
- Sequence: K ... L ... M(Fri).
- Possible slots for L: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday.
- Possible slots for K: Monday, Tuesday.
- If L is on Thursday: K must be Monday or Tuesday.
- If K is Monday: Mon(K), Tue(?), Wed(J), Thu(L), Fri(M).
- Check Clue 4: Two between K (Mon) and N ($N = Mon + 3 = Thu$). But L is on Thursday. This combination is impossible.
- If L is on Tuesday: K must be on Monday.
- Arrangement: Mon(K), Tue(L), Wed(J), Thu(?), Fri(M).
- Check Clue 4: Two between K (Mon) and N ($N = Mon + 3 = Thu$). This fits perfectly.
- Updated schedule: Mon(K), Tue(L), Wed(J), Thu(N), Fri(M).
- Remaining Students and Days:
- Students left: O, P.
- Days left: Saturday, Sunday.
- Current Schedule: Mon(K), Tue(L), Wed(J), Thu(N), Fri(M).
- Clue 5: O takes admission on one of the days after M.
- M is on Friday. O can be on Saturday or Sunday.
- Clue 6: P does not take admission on Sunday.
- If O takes Saturday, P must take Sunday. But P cannot take Sunday.
- Therefore, O must take Sunday, and P must take Saturday.
Final Schedule
Based on the deductions, the complete schedule is:
| Monday | K |
| Tuesday | L |
| Wednesday | J |
| Thursday | N |
| Friday | M |
| Saturday | P |
| Sunday | O |
Evaluating the Options
Now let's check the given options against our derived schedule:
- K – Monday: This matches our schedule. Correct.
- L – Sunday: Our schedule shows L admitted on Tuesday. Incorrect.
- M – Saturday: Our schedule shows M admitted on Friday. Incorrect.
- N – Friday: Our schedule shows N admitted on Thursday. Incorrect.
- O – Tuesday: Our schedule shows O admitted on Sunday. Incorrect.
The only correct combination is K – Monday.
