Seven different exams - P, Q, R, S, T, U and V - are conducted on different days of the same week, i.e., from Monday to Sunday. Which exam was conducted on Wednesday?
I. Two exams were conducted after exam P. Exam Q took place immediately after exam U. Exam Q was not conducted on Sunday or on Thursday. Exam T was not conducted immediately after exam P.
II. Three exams were conducted before exam R. Exam S was conducted after exam P but before exam V. Exam Q was conducted after exam U and before exam T. Exam P was not conducted on Monday.
IÂ : Two exams were conducted after exam P, => Exam P was held on Friday.Â
Exam Q took place immediately after exam U. Exam Q was not conducted on Sunday or on Thursday, => Exam QÂ was either conducted on Tuesday or Wednesday.Â
Also, Exam T was not conducted immediately after exam P.
Thus, we cannot find which exam was conducted on Wednesday, hence I alone is insufficient.
