Question and options

Read the information carefully and answer the question:

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.
v. The laundry is done on Friday, and not by Umakanth.
vi. Rama does his task on Monday.

What does Terry do on Wednesday?
  1. Vacuuming
  2. Dusting
  3. Mopping
  4. Sweeping

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - Sweeping
Rama is Monday, Terry Wednesday. Sunny dusts but not Mon/Fri, and Thursday is mopping, so Sunny is Tuesday. Vikram is not Tuesday, Umakanth does not do Friday's laundry, so Vikram does laundry on Friday and Umakanth mops on Thursday. Remaining tasks sweeping and vacuuming go to Rama and Terry; Terry does not vacuum, so Terry sweeps on Wednesday.
