Answer 1

To solve this question, we need to apply the given conditions to find the possible interview schedules. Options (B) and (E) could be true as they satisfy all the given conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to apply the given conditions to find the possible interview schedules. Let's go through each option:

1. (A) C is interviewed on Wednesday: This option violates the condition that F must be interviewed after C but before G, so it is not possible.
2. (B) C is interviewed on Friday: This option satisfies all the given conditions, so it could be true.
3. (C) D is interviewed on Tuesday: This option does not violate any of the conditions, so it could be true.
4. (D) G is interviewed on Wednesday: This option violates the condition that F must be interviewed after C but before G, so it is not possible.
5. (E) G is interviewed on Friday: This option satisfies all the given conditions, so it could be true.

Therefore, options (B) and (E) could be true as they satisfy all the given conditions.
