IBPS PO Reasoning: Seating and Scheduling Arrangement questions with solutions

Q1. Seven persons A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are watching movies on different days of the week, starting on Monday and ending on Sunday, not necessarily in the same order. B is going to watch a movie on Tuesday. F is going to watch a movie on an adjacent day to B. There are three days between the days on which F and A are going to watch a movie. G is going to watch a movie just after D. There are as many persons watching movies between A and G as between D and C. C is watching a movie before D but not just before. On which day is C watching a movie?

1. Friday
2. Saturday
3. Wednesday
4. Thursday

Answer: Wednesday

B is on Tuesday, so F must be on Monday or Wednesday. Using the three-day gap between F and A and the condition that G is just after D, the only consistent arrangement places C on Wednesday. The remaining constraints about equal numbers of persons between A and G and between D and C also fit this placement.
