Answer 1

The correct option is D 3

We have to organise a children's workshop. We have a total of seven movies to display and we can display only one movie each day. The given information is as follows:-
Beauty and the Beast was screened on Wednesday.
Ice Age was screened before Thursday but not on Monday.
Shark Tale was screened before Saturday.
The 'Incredibles' was screened on fourth day after 'UP' was screened.
It means there is a gap of three places between both the movies.

Shark Tale and Aladdin were not screened on Saturday.
Now, according to the given information, we organise the movies in the following manner:-

Ice Age was screened before Thursday but not on Monday, so it will screened definitely on Tuesday.

There is a gap of three places between Up and Incredible, so it will definitely be on Monday and Friday.

Shark Tale was Screened before Saturday, so if will definitely be screened on Thursday.

Aladdin was not screened on Saturday.
So, it will definitely be screened on Sunday.

Now, we are left with only one movie that is Finding Nemo and only one day that is Saturday therefore the sequence becomes.


There are three movies screened before Shark Tale.
