Answer & solution
- A
Sati-Savitri is viewed first; Sundar Kand is viewed third and Jhansi ki Rani is viewed last.
- B
Sati-Savitri is viewed last; Veer Abhimanyu is viewed third and Reshma aur Shera is viewed first.
Sati-Savitri is viewed first; Sundar Kand is viewed third and Joru ka Ghulam is viewed fourth.
- D
Veer-Abhimanyu is viewed third; Reshma aur Shera is viewed fourth and Jhansi ki Rani is viewed fifth.
The possible sequence using the given conditions is given below.
1. Sati-Savitri 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
2. Veer Abhimanyu 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
3. Sunder Kand 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
4. Joru ka Ghulam 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
5. Lunch 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
6. Jhansi ki Rani 1:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
7. Reshma aur Shera 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Hence, option (c).
Alternatively,
Reshma aur Shera cannot be viewed at 9:30 a.m. as the play viewing should start at 9.00 a.m. in order to complete all the plays. It cannot be viewed at 12 noon as it is a 1 hour play and there has to be a lunch break between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.
∴ Reshma aur Shera has to be viewed last.
Only option 3 satisfies this condition.
Hence, option (c).
