Answer 1

The correct option is D E or B

We have in total 6 players A, B. C, D, E, F and total 6 days of a week, from Monday to Saturday.
According to the given information,
Play C is staged on Tuesday.
Now, we can place them as

Play A, F and B are staged one after the other in the same order.
Play D is not staged on Monday or Wednesday.
Now, we organise the play as

Now, we are left with one day and one play E. So, E will be staged on Monday. Now, the schedule becomes
