(e) None of these
5. Play C cannot definitely
be staged on which of the following days in addition to Tuesday?
(a) Monday
(b) Wednesday
(c) Friday
(d) Thursday
(e) Saturday
Solutions:
Clearly, D must be staged on Friday. A must be staged
before E i.e. order AE must be followed. But E cannot
be staged on last day. Also, B must be staged immediately
after F. i.e. order FB must be followed. But B
cannot precede D. So F and B can be staged on Monday
and Tuesday and A and E on Wednesday and
Thursday. C, which cannot be staged on Tuesday
shall be staged on Saturday. Thus the order followed
will be

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