Download Solution PDFGiven: Each of E, F, G, I, K, L and M has an exam on a different day of a week starting from Monday and ending on Sunday of the same week.
Conditions:
1. Only three people have the exam between F and L.
2. Only three people have the exam between K and E.
3. G has the exam on some day before I and on some day after M.
4. Only E has the exam after L.
From condition 4, only E has the exam after L. This means L's exam is on Saturday and E's exam is on Sunday.

Saturday | L |
Sunday | E |
From condition 1, only three people have the exam between F and L. Since L is on Saturday, F must be on Tuesday.

From condition 3, G has the exam on some day before I and on some day after M. The remaining days are Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Therefore, M must be on Monday, G on Thursday, and I on Friday.
Day | Person |
Monday | M |
Tuesday | F |
Wednesday | K |
Thursday | G |
Friday | I |
Saturday | L |
Sunday | E |
We need to find how many people have the exam after K. K's exam is on Wednesday. The people having exams after K are G (Thursday), I (Friday), L (Saturday), and E (Sunday).
Thus, there are 4 people who have the exam after K.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
