Solutions –  Here, seven friends are: P, Q, R,
S, T, V and W Seven destinations are: Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore,
Kolkata, Chandigarh and Jaipur. Let us proceed with the following direct
information: R — Jaipur—Monday; Bangalore—Saturday; P — Chandigarh; S — Kolkata
— Friday; W — Delhi

With the help of above
information we get the following table:
No.
 Person 
 Destination
 Day
1. 
R 
Jaipur
 Monday
2. 
 
Bangalore 
 Sunday
3.  
P 
Chandigarh
4.
S
Kolkata
 Friday
5. 
W 
Delhi
Let us use indirect information.
Since Q did not leave for either Hyderabad or Banglore, the above table helps
us conclude that Q left for Chennai. Now, T left the next day of P’s departure
and on previous day of W’s. According to the above table, P and W did not
depart on Monday, Saturday or Friday. T did not depart on Monday or Friday. Now
P can’t depart on Sunday or Thursday because T did not depart on Monday or
Friday respectively. P can’t departure on Wednesday because W did not
departured on Friday. Hence, by elimination, P left for Chandigarh on Tuesday,
T left for its destination on Wednesday and W left for Delhi on Thursday.
Now look upon table II.
