Directions:- Study the following information carefully to answer the question given below.

At an Electronic Data Processing Unit, five out of the eight program sets P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are to be operated daily. On any one day except for the first day of a month, only three of the program sets must be the ones that were operated on the previous day.
The program operating must also satisfy the following conditions:-
I. If program P is to be operated on a day, V cannot be operated on that day.
II. If Q is to be operated on a day, T must be one of the programs to be operated after Q.
III. If R Is to be operated on a day, V must be one of the programs to be operated after R.
IV. The last program to be operated on any day must be either S or U.

Which of the following is true of any day's valid program set operation?

• A. Q cannot be operated at the third place.
• B. P cannot be operated at the third place.
• C. R cannot be operated at the fourth place.
• D. T cannot be operated at the third place.
• E. Inadequate data

Answer 1

The correct option is C R cannot be operated at the fourth place.

If R is operated at the fourth place, V must be operated at the fifth place. It violates condition (IV) because V cannot be the last program.
