Which lecture is the last one in the week ?
aHistory

AnswerUPSC’s answer is (c).
The full order is Monday Statistics, Tuesday History, Wednesday English, Thursday Economics, Friday Mathematics. It follows because History must be on Tuesday, and English, Economics and Mathematics need three consecutive days in that order that avoid Tuesday, which only Wednesday to Friday allows. The last lecture of the week, on Friday, is Mathematics.
Why each option is right or wrong
(a) Wrong. History is on Tuesday.
(b) Wrong. English is on Wednesday.
(c) Right. Mathematics is on Friday, the last day.
(d) Wrong. Economics is on Thursday.
