(iii) Q must be released on the Friday following the Friday on which u is released.
(iv) S must be released on the fifth Friday and should not be immediately preceded by Q.
(J) T must not be released in the last.

Film R can not be released on which of the following Fridays in addition to the second Friday?


A) First

B) Third

C) Fourth

D) Fifth

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Clearly, S must be released on fifth Friday. P must be released a week before T i.e., order PT must be followed. But T cannot be released in the last. Also, Q must be released immediately after U i.e. order UQ must be followed. But Q cannot precede S. So, U and Q can be released on first and second Fridays respectively and P and T on third and fourth Fridays respectively. R, which cannot be released on Second Friday, shall be released last. Thus, the order followed will be U, Q, R T, S, R.

R can not be released on the fifth Friday as well because S has to be staged on that day.
