Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Monday morning
Tuesday morning
Given:
No. of subjects that have exams = 5
Days on which exams are held = Consecutively from Monday till Friday
To find:
The day on which the English exam is scheduled.
Solution:
It is given that the Social Science exam is scheduled on Monday and on the third day the Maths exam is scheduled. So, we can say that the Maths exam is scheduled for Wednesday, which is the third day after Monday. So, now the remaining days are Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
It has been mentioned that French and English are not held consecutively. So, French and English cannot be held on Thursday and Friday respectively. It is also mentioned that the French exam is held first before the English exam. Hence, the French exam is scheduled for Tuesday and the English exam for Thursday. Thus, the remaining subject Science is scheduled for Friday.
Therefore, the English exam is scheduled for Thursday.
The English exam of Alex is scheduled for Thursday.
