Given:

Each of L, M, N, O, P, Q and R has an exam on a different day of the week starting from Monday and ending on Sunday of the same week.

M has an exam immediately after O and on Wednesday. This means O has an exam on Tuesday.

O has an exam immediately after Q. Since O is on Tuesday

Day Person
Monday Q
Tuesday O
Wednesday M
Thursday  
Friday  
Saturday  
Sunday  

 

Only two people have an exam between L and R. The possible positions for L and R are (Thursday, Sunday) or (Sunday, Thursday).

N does not have an exam immediately before R.

P has an exam immediately after N.

Case 1: L is on Thursday, R is on Sunday.

  • If L is on Thursday, then N and P must be on Friday and Saturday respectively (since P is immediately after N). This satisfies the condition that N is not immediately before R.
    Day Person
    Monday Q
    Tuesday O
    Wednesday M
    Thursday L
    Friday N
    Saturday P
    Sunday R

Case 2: R is on Thursday, L is on Sunday.

  • If R is on Thursday,  N is on Friday, P is on Saturday. 
    Day Person
    Monday Q
    Tuesday O
    Wednesday M
    Thursday R
    Friday N
    Saturday P
    Sunday L

Thus, N has an exam on Friday in both the cases.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
