·         7 Persons – P, Q, R, S, T, U and V

·         7 Professions – ENT, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Neurologists, Ophthalmologist, Radiologist and Oncologist

·         4 days – Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday

·         1 or 2 (not more than 2) doctors visit the clinic on these 4 days

These types of questions can be best solved by the tabulation method

·         If persons / days are mentioned in the question then the first column of the table will always be persons/days

·         Here both persons and days are given therefore persons comes 1^st followed by days

·         Here there are 7 persons, then the 1^st column will be persons

·         2^nd column will be days and the 3^rd column will be medical field

		Radiologist ✗

CLUE 1: S visits on Friday with Radiologist

·         It shows that the Radiologist visits on Friday

·         S is not Radiologist

·         Maximum 2 doctors visit the clinic on each of the given days

·         Therefore only 3 days are remaining

CLUE 2: Oncologist U visits alone on Tuesday

·         So no other doctors visit on Tuesday

·         Now only Wednesday and Saturday are remaining

·         Tuesday – U – Oncologist

		Radiologist ✗
		Oncologist

CLUE 3: Q visits on Wednesday and he is not Pediatrician

		Pediatrician ✗
		Radiologist ✗
		Oncologist

CLUE 4: R visits on Wednesday

		Pediatrician ✗
		Radiologist ✗
		Oncologist

CLUE 5: Neurologist visits on Friday

·         From the clue 1, it is clear that the S and Radiologist visit on Friday

·         Not more than 2 doctors visit on a single day

·         Therefore, S is the Neurologist

		Pediatrician ✗
		Radiologist ✗ Neurologist ✓
		Oncologist

CLUE 6: Pediatrician neither visit on Saturday and nor with T and V

·         We know that Pediatrician does not visit on Friday, Tuesday and Saturday

·         Therefore Pediatrician visits on Wednesday

·         Doctors Q and R visits on Wednesday and we also know that Q is not a Pediatrician

·         Therefore, R – Pediatrician

		Pediatrician
		Neurologist
		Oncologist

CLUE 7: Pediatrician visits with ENT specialist

·         Therefore, Q is the ENT specialist who visits on Wednesday

		Pediatrician
		Neurologist
		Oncologist

CLUE 8: V is not Radiologist

·         So, V will not visit on Friday

·         The only remaining day is Saturday

·         Therefore, V visits the clinic on Saturday

		Pediatrician
		Neurologist
		Oncologist
		Radiologist ✗

CLUE 9: P is neither Orthopedics nor Radiologist

·         P is not Radiologist.

·         So he will visit the clinic on Saturday

·         This leaves T to be the Radiologist who visits the clinic on Friday along with S

·         Now P is not Orthopedics.

·         Therefore, P is the Ophthalmologist and V is Orthopedics

		Ophthalmologist
		Pediatrician
		Neurologist
		Radiologist
		Oncologist
		Orthopedics
