Directions: The following question is based on the given set of conditions. Choose the response that most accurately and completely answers the question.
Seven bands were scheduled to perform during a week-long music festival at XLRI. The festival began on a Monday evening and ended on the Sunday evening. Each day, only one band performed. Each band performed only once. The organising committee had the task of scheduling the performances of the seven bands - Cactus, Axis, Enigma, Boom, Fish, Dhoom and Bodhi Tree. The festival schedule followed the following conditions:
The performance of Bodhi Tree, the home band of XLRI, did not precede the performance of any other band. Among the visiting bands, three were rock bands and the other three were fusion bands. All three bands of the same genre were not allowed to perform consecutively. Boom, which was a rock band, refused to perform immediately before or after Fish. Meet, who was a lead vocalist with a rock band, refused to perform after Angelina. Angelina, the only female lead vocalist in the music fest besides Bony, was with the band Enigma. Angelina refused to perform after Thursday citing personal reasons. Ali, who was the lead vocalist of a rock band, was not with the band Dhoom, and did not perform on Saturday. Sid, the lead vocalist of the rock band Cactus, could perform only on Monday. Rupam, the only male among the lead vocalists of the fusion bands, was with Fish and performed on Wednesday. None of the bands performed in absence of their lead vocalist.

Directions: The following question is based on the given set of condit...
Explanation:

Mondays:
- Sid from Cactus (rock band) performed on Monday.

Tuesdays:
- No fusion band performed consecutively with a rock band.

Wednesdays:
- Rupam from Fish (fusion band) performed on Wednesday.

Thursdays:
- Angelina from Enigma (rock band) refused to perform after Thursday.

Fridays:
- No fusion band performed consecutively with a rock band.

Saturdays:
- Ali from Dhoom (rock band) did not perform on Saturday.
Therefore, fusion band and rock band performed consecutively on Monday (Sid from Cactus) and Wednesday (Rupam from Fish), and there was no consecutive performance of fusion and rock bands on any other days. This makes a total of 3 times from Monday to Saturday that the fusion band and rock band performed consecutively.

Directions: The following question is based on the given set of condit...
The festival began on the Monday evening and ended on the Sunday evening. Each day, only one band performed. Each band performed only once. The seven bands are - Cactus, Axis, Enigma, Boom, Fish, Dhoom and Bodhi Tree.
Bodhi Tree didn't precede any performance; so it performed on Sunday. Sid, the lead vocalist of the rock band Cactus, would perform only on Monday. Rupam of a fusion band with Fish performed on Wednesday. Angelina with Enigma refused to perform after Thursday and she didn't perform before Meet. So, Meet of a rock band performed on Tuesday and Angelina performed on Thursday. We can tabulate the results as follows :

Rupam is the only male among the lead vocalists of the fusion band, so the other two are females; hence, they should be Angelina and Bony.
Fusion band was performing on Wednesday and Thursday [Rupam, Angelina], so definitely it should be followed by a rock band [since all the three bands of the same genre were not allowed to perform consecutively]. So, rock band performed on Friday and fusion band performed on Saturday [by Bony]. So, Ali performed on Friday. Boom (a rock band) refused to perform immediately before or after Fish. So, it had to perform on Friday. The final arrangement is as follows:

It is clear from the above table the two bands performed consecutively 3 times in the stated week.
