Seven persons — M, N, O, P, Q, R, and S — boarded a train on different days of a week starting from Monday to Sunday, not necessarily in the same order. Each of them travelled to different cities among Bengaluru, Delhi, Goa, Kolkata, Mumbai, Patna, and Varanasi, not necessarily in the same order. Person travelling to Mumbai does not travel on Sunday. Neither Q nor S travelled to Goa. O is travelling to Varanasi just before R, who is travelling to Kolkata. Three persons travelled between P's and N's travelling day. At most two persons travelled after P, who travelled to Bengaluru. One person travelled to Goa on Wednesday. Q does not travel on Monday or Tuesday. M does not visit a city before N's travelling day. Neither N nor S travels to Mumbai. R does not travel on Saturday or Tuesday. How many persons travelled before P's travelling day?
- Four
- One
- Three
- Five
Correct answer: Four
Solution
Since at most two persons travelled after P, P must be on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. But three persons travelled between P and N, so P cannot be Saturday or Sunday; the only feasible day is Friday. Therefore, four persons travelled before P's travelling day.
