Answer: (c)

Option (a) P, R, V, S, U violates condition I - P should not come with V.

Option (b) Q, S, R, V, U violates condition II - T should come after Q.

Option (c) T, U, R, V, S is the correct option.

Option (d) U, Q, S, T, W violates condition IV last programme should be either S or U.

Option (e) V, Q, R, T, S violates condition III V should follow R.

Answer: (a)

If R is operated at 3rd place in a sequence, then V will be operated at fourth place and either S or U at last place. On the basis of this sequence, we see that Q cannot be operated at the second place because T cannot be operated after Q as there is no space left for T.

Answer: (b)

The male advocates are A and B; lady doctors are p, Q and S; teachers are E, T and U. Now, A and B will be selected. A, P and U have to be together. Now, we have to select one lady doctor more. It can be Q or S. But Q and E have to be together. Since E is not selected, S will be selected.

Thus, the team is A, B, P, U, S.

Answer: (e)

Option (a) R, W, P, T, U violates condition III - V Should come after R.

Option (b) R, W, Q, S, V violates condition II - T should come after Q.

Option (c) R, W, Q, T, V violates condition IV - last programme should be either S or U.

Option (d) R, W, T, S, U violates condition III - V should come after R.

Option (e) R, W, V, S, U complies with all the conditions.

Answer: (d)

If R comes at 4th place, V has to come after R as given in condition III but last programme i.e., 5th programme would be either S or U,

Hence R cannot be operated at the 4th place.

Answer: (e)

Clearly, Option (e) must not be true.
