How many days gap is there between rock band competition and group song competition?
Let us draw a table consisting the day and competition.Ā
In statement 5, it is given that none of the competition was conducted on Thursday and Sunday.Ā Also, Street Play competition was held on Monday.Ā
It is given thatĀ Group Song competition was conducted neither on Wednesday nor on Saturday. Hence, the Group SongĀ competition can take place on either Tuesday or Friday. We are also given that there was gap of two days between Debate competition and Group Song competition.Ā
If theĀ Group SongĀ competition is on Friday, then Debate competition should take place in 24th Oct, Monday but that slot is already filled. Hence, this case is not possible. Therefore, we can say that Group Song competition was on Tuesday. Consecutively, we can say that the Debate competition was on Saturday.Ā
Rock band competition was not conducted on the closing day. Hence, we can say that Rock Band competition took place on either 19th Oct or 21st Oct.
It is also given thatĀ Fash-p was conducted on the day prior to debate competition. Hence, we can say that Fash-P was conducted onĀ 21st Oct Friday. Consequently, we can say that Rock Band competition took place on 19th Oct Wednesday.Ā
Also, we can say thatĀ folk dance competition held on 26th Oct.Ā
From the table, we can see that there is a gap of 5 days betweenĀ rock band competition and group song competition. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
