Can anyone please explain how the answer to question 3 is B? Please explain it to me. Thanks.
I too had confusion in the begining. It’s weekdays, not weekends.
Lunch on weekdays, Tuesday- Friday:
12 noon to 2.30 pm.
Easy one.
Number 3: It is written “Weekdays”, not “weekend”. It is correct.
12/13.
It’s false because the passage mentions the weekdays’ timings at the power office but doesn’t say anything about Saturday. So if the weekdays’ timings weren’t given here, then it will be ‘NG’. But when the question asks if it is open on Saturday, then it contradicts with the passage. So it will be ‘F’.
12/13 in 10 Minutes.
Tremendous exercise…
13/13.
