Five roommates sharing a room in Delhi namely Rama, Sunny, Terry, Umakanth, and Vikram each do one housekeeping task – mopping, sweeping, laundry, vacuuming, or dusting – one day a week, Monday through Friday. Now
i. Vikram does not vacuum and does not do his task on Tuesday.
ii. Sunny does the dusting, and does not do it on Monday or Friday.
iii. The mopping is done on Thursday.
iv. Terry does his task, which is not vacuuming, on Wednesday.

vi. Rama does his task on Monday.

What day does Umakanth do his task?
  1. Monday
  2. Tuesday
  3. Wednesday
  4. Thursday

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - Thursday
From the arrangement: Rama Mon (vacuuming), Sunny Tue (dusting), Terry Wed (sweeping), Umakanth Thu (mopping), Vikram Fri (laundry). Umakanth works on Thursday, since Friday's laundry is not his and the other days are taken.
