Question

A restaurant offers three daily specials each day of the week. The daily specials are selected from a list of dishes: P, Q, R, S, T, and U. The daily specials for the menu are selected in accordance with the following restrictions:
On any day that S on the menu, Q must also be on the menu.
If R is on the menu one day, it cannot be included on the menu the following day.
U can be on the menu only on a day following a day on which T is on the menu.
Only one of the three specials from a given day can be offered the following day.

Answer 1

The specials on the next day are: P, T and Q

A day has Q, R and S on the special’s menu. Therefore, following the guidelines provided, R cannot be on the menu the next day. As S can be mentioned on the menu only along with Q and only one of the items can be repeated the next day, Q can be selected from today’s menu.

U cannot be on the menu as it can only follow when T is on the menu the previous day. But T has no such restriction. Hence, T can be selected. Then P is the only remaining dish left to select from for a place in the menu.

Hence, the specials menu for the next day will feature P, T and Q.
