Understanding the Problem
We have seven representatives who traveled to three different countries: South Africa, Australia, and France. The key details are:
- South Africa had three travelers.
- Each representative traveled on a different day from Monday to Sunday.
- Specific travel details for each person are provided.
Travel Details Breakdown
- Samir: Traveled to South Africa on Monday.
- Paul: Traveled to Australia, but neither on Tuesday nor Saturday.
- Mohit: Traveled on Sunday, but not to France.
- Australia's traveler: Went on Tuesday.
- France's traveler: Went on Saturday.
- Gifty: Traveled on Wednesday.
- Richa: Traveled to South Africa but not on Thursday.
- Nita: Did not travel to France.
Analyzing the Days and Countries
1. Monday: Samir (South Africa)
2. Tuesday: Must be the one who traveled to Australia (not Paul).
3. Wednesday: Gifty (Country not specified yet).
4. Thursday: Richa (South Africa) cannot travel here.
5. Friday: Unknown traveler.
6. Saturday: Traveler (France).
7. Sunday: Mohit.
Identifying Saturday's Traveler
Since South Africa has three travelers, and Samir and Richa are already accounted for, we deduce:
- Richa must travel to South Africa on Friday since she cannot travel on Thursday.
- Paul cannot travel on Tuesday or Saturday, so he must travel on Friday to Australia.
- Thus, the only option left for Saturday is the traveler to France.
Final Conclusion
Since we know that the only person left who can travel to France on Saturday is Shweta, the answer to who traveled on Saturday is:
a) Shweta.
