✓Plants are watered two days each week, but never on consecutive days and never on the same day that floors are polished.
✓Floors are polished on Monday and two other days each week, but never on consecutive days and never on the same day that plants are watered.
According to a schedule, the restaurant’s floors are polished on either…
A. Tuesday or Wednesday
B. Tuesday or Thursday
C. Wednesday or Thursday
D. Thursday or Friday
E. Thursday or Saturday
C. Wednesday or Thursday
Reason: Floors must include Monday plus two other nonconsecutive days, and watering days (two days) are nonconsecutive and cannot coincide with polishing. The only possible polishing triples that meet those rules are:
Mon, Wed, Fri
Mon, Wed, Sat
Mon, Thu, Sat
