Read the below passage carefully and answer the questions:

Five roommates Randy, Sally, Terry, Uma, and Vernon each do one housekeeping task mopping, sweeping, laundry, vacuuming, or dusting one day a week, Monday through Friday.

* Vernon does not vacuum and does not do his task on Tuesday.
* Sally does the dusting, and does not do it on Monday or Friday.
* The mopping is done on Thursday.
* Terry does his task, which is not vacuuming, on Wednesday.
* The laundry is done on Friday, and not by Uma.
* Randy does his task on Monday.

Here, "each do one housekeeping task" "one day a week, Monday through Friday".

Indicating that two tasks are not accomplished on the same day.

Nowhere in the setup of the question does it state that two tasks can't be done on the same day.

So, how can it be assumed that Sally's dusting is done on Tuesday?

Is there any shortcut method for solving this problem?

Monday Randy.

Tuesday Sally dusting.

Wednesday Terry vacuuming.

Thursday Uma mopping.

Friday Vernon.

Who can fill the blanks :-D :-D.

Monday --- No Sally.
Tuesday --- So Sally can only do on this day.
Wednesday --- Terry does vacuuming on this day as in statement.
Thursday- -- Mopping is done on this day.
Friday --- No Sally.

Hope its clear.. :).
