Explanation
Step 1: Identify Fixed Blocks
-
From Point 3: BD is a mandatory block (D follows B).
-
From Point 5: AE is a mandatory block (A precedes E).
-
From Point 1: The Break is either at H3 or H4.
Step 2: Apply the "A" Constraints
Step 3: Logical Sequencing
We have three units to place: BD, AE, and C.
Since AE cannot start at H1 (because H1≠A), and BD and AE are 2-hour blocks, let's test the placement:
-
Case 1: If the Break is at H3
The slots are: H1,H2,[Break],H4,H5,H6.
-
If we place BD at H1,H2, then H4 cannot be A (Point 4: DA is forbidden).
-
So, H4 must be C. This leaves H5,H6 for AE.
-
Arrangement: B→D→[Break]→C→A→E.
-
Check: Does it end with C? No (H6=E). Correct.
-
Case 2: If the Break is at H4
The slots are: H1,H2,H3,[Break],H5,H6.
-
If we place BD at H1,H2, then H3 must be C (since it can't be A after D).
-
This leaves H5,H6 for AE.
-
Arrangement: B→D→C→[Break]→A→E.
-
Check: Does it start with A or end with C? No. Correct.
Step 4: Answer the specific question
In both valid arrangements:
-
B→D→[Break]→C→A→E
-
B→D→C→[Break]→A→E
The drama E is the very last show staged in the 6-hour window (H6). Therefore, there is no drama staged after it.
Final Calculation
Sequence: ⋯→A→E→End of Schedule
Since E is the final drama in the sequence, no other drama follows it.
Correct Option: (D) None
