Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: Gowri and Chitra
Reasoning and valid ordering (one possible arrangement that satisfies all constraints):
Farooq and Iqbal were enrolled on the same day (pair).
Chitra and Gowri were enrolled on the same day (pair).
Iqb al was enrolled before Dheeraj, and Dheeraj was enrolled before Eesha (Iqbal < Dheeraj < Eesha).
Hameed was enrolled before Dheeraj (Hameed < Dheeraj).
Eesha was enrolled before Babu (Eesha < Babu), and Babu was enrolled before Jacob (Babu < Jacob).
Gowri was enrolled after both Jacob and Babu, so Jacob and Babu must come before Gowri.
Day 1: Farooq and Iqbal (same day).
Day 2: Hameed.
Day 3: Dheeraj.
Day 4: Eesha.
Day 5: Babu.
Day 6: Jacob.
Day 7: Chitra and Gowri (same final day).
This ordering satisfies all constraints (including the two paired days). Therefore the last two candidates to be enrolled are Gowri and Chitra, who share the final day.
