2. Which of the following places immediately follows B? (A,D,E,F)
3. Place D is visited between which of the pairs of places?
F and B, A and E E and B C and E
4. Which of the following schedule of places to be visited starting from Monday?

5. Place C can't be under any circumstances be visited on which of the days in addition to Tuesday?

NOTE – I want this problem solved.
MY OPINION – I tried this question. And, what I did is as follows.

From given points, I've gives clear message that D is visited on FRIDAY. From ii, iii and v, I took clues, and mentioned these as NO.


Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
A
B (NOt on Thursday)
C (NOt on Thursday)
D (YES on Friday)
E (NOt on Saturday)
F

I actually drew a column-wise box, but when I copied it here, it disappeared. I shall be grateful, if someone guides me how to paste the boxes here. All replies will be appreciated.

Actually I find there are at least two different solutions. You know that AE must be in order and also FB in order, and D on Friday. So C must be on Saturday. So possible solutions in order from Monday through Saturday are:

A,E,F,B,D,C
F,B,A,E,D,C

Thanks so much, ebaines...

Your answer is really so so so helpful to me. So nice of you, and I shall like you to please solve one puzzle out of the given, which I have already mentioned here, alongwith many others, but all (but one) got solved. The one is -

Place C can’t be under any circumstances be visited on which of the days in addition to Tuesday?

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday

Kindly solve it. Thanks.

If you look at the two possible solutions C must be on Saturday. Therefore it cannot possibly be on any other day.
