Question

Five employees — Arun, Bhavna, Chitra, Deepak, and Esha — work on different days of a week (Monday to Friday, one per day). Based on the following clues, determine on which day does Chitra work?

Clues:
1. Arun works two days after Bhavna.
2. Chitra works on Wednesday.
3. Deepak works on the day immediately before Esha.
4. Bhavna does not work on Monday or Friday.
5. Esha does not work on Monday.

Accepted Answer

Let's solve this step by step:

From Clue 2: Chitra works on Wednesday. This directly answers the question.

Let's verify the solution is consistent:
- From Clue 4: Bhavna does not work on Monday or Friday, so Bhavna works on Tuesday or Thursday.
- From Clue 1: Arun works two days after Bhavna.
  - If Bhavna = Tuesday, then Arun = Thursday.
  - If Bhavna = Thursday, then Arun = Saturday (impossible, only up to Friday).
  - Therefore: Bhavna = Tuesday, Arun = Thursday.

- Chitra = Wednesday (from Clue 2).
- Remaining days: Monday and Friday for Deepak and Esha.

- From Clue 3: Deepak works immediately before Esha.
  - The only consecutive pair available is Monday-Friday? No. Let me reconsider.
  - We have Monday and Friday left. These are not consecutive.
  - Wait: Deepak and Esha must be on consecutive days.
  - Days assigned: Bhavna (Tuesday), Chitra (Wednesday), Arun (Thursday).
  - Remaining: Monday and Friday for Deepak and Esha.
  - Since Monday and Friday are not consecutive, let me re-examine Clue 1.

Actually, re-reading: "two days after" means if Bhavna = Monday, Arun = Wednesday. But Chitra = Wednesday.
- If Bhavna = Tuesday, Arun = Thursday. ✓
- If Bhavna = Wednesday, that's Chitra. Not allowed.
- If Bhavna = Thursday, Arun = Saturday. Not possible.

So: Bhavna = Tuesday, Arun = Thursday, Chitra = Wednesday.
Remaining: Monday, Friday for Deepak and Esha.

From Clue 3: Deepak immediately before Esha. Monday–Friday are not consecutive.
Let me reconsider the schedule:

Actually, we need to check if Deepak = Monday, Esha = Tuesday? No, Bhavna = Tuesday.

Let me try: What if Bhavna = Monday? Then from Clue 4, Bhavna ≠ Monday. Contradiction.

Let me reinterpret more carefully:
- Clue 4: Bhavna works Tuesday or Thursday.
- Clue 1: If Bhavna = Tuesday → Arun = Thursday. If Bhavna = Thursday → Arun = Saturday (invalid).
- So: Bhavna = Tuesday, Arun = Thursday.
- Chitra = Wednesday.
- Deepak and Esha on Monday and Friday.
- Clue 3: Deepak immediately before Esha → impossible with Monday/Friday.

Revision: Perhaps Deepak = Thursday? But Arun = Thursday.
Or Esha can be with someone else. Let me reconsider assignments.

Actual valid assignment:
- Bhavna = Tuesday, Arun = Thursday, Chitra = Wednesday, Deepak = Monday, Esha = Friday.
- Clue 3 check: Deepak (Monday) immediately before Esha (Friday)? No, not consecutive.

Let me try: Deepak = Thursday, Esha = Friday. But Arun = Thursday. Conflict.

Valid solution:
- Deepak = Monday, Esha = not Friday. But we only have Friday left.
- Alternatively: Check if Esha can be Tuesday. But Bhavna = Tuesday.

After careful analysis: Chitra = Wednesday is stated directly in Clue 2 and is the answer regardless of the other clues' full consistency (which may have a typo). The question asks for Chitra's day.

Chitra = **Wednesday**.
