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.

What task does Vernon do?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Vernon does not vacuum, dust, or sweep. Randy does the vacuuming, Sally does the dusting, Terry does the sweeping—leaving laundry and mopping for Uma and Vernon. Uma does not do laundry; therefore, she must mop, and Vernon does the laundry.

@Vinay : You are wrong about vacuuming statement,
The first statement says "Vernon does not vacuum and does not do his task on Tuesday" which doesn't necessarily mean that vacuuming is done on Tuesday. It may mean that Vernon does some other job which falls on a day other than Tuesday.

monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday
mopping laundry
randy terry
The above is the arrangement of given info in rows.first row is indicating days,second indicating housekeeping task and third the person doing that particular task.
Now if we see first statement vaccuming is not done on tuesday and fourth suggests it is not done on wednesday,so it is done on the remaining day that is monday.
From st 2 sally dusts,so if you see into the 2nd column their is not name and work done on that day only, hence sally dusts on tue from 5th st we can say uma does mopping and we can see the remaining job is sweeping and fits in 3rd column,so we see that only name in 5th column is empty and that will be filled by vernon.
