Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
- V has the exam on Thursday.
- Only five people have exams after S. This places S on Tuesday (Monday, S, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday).
- Only four people have exams between Q and S. With S on Tuesday, Q must be on Sunday (Tuesday (S), Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday (Q)).
- Schedule so far: _ _ S _ V _ _ Q
- R has the exam immediately after P (PR block). The only consecutive available slots are Friday and Saturday. So, P is on Friday and R is on Saturday.
- Schedule: _ S _ V P R Q
- T does not have the exam on Monday. The remaining slots are Monday and Wednesday. If T is not on Monday, T must be on Wednesday.
- The last person, U, must take the exam on Monday.
Final Schedule:
- Monday: U
- Tuesday: S
- Wednesday: T
- Thursday: V
- Friday: P
- Saturday: R
- Sunday: Q
People between R (Saturday) and U (Monday) in chronological order are: S (Tuesday), T (Wednesday), V (Thursday), P (Friday). There are four people.
