Comprehension
Read the information carefully and answer the questions below.
A weekly television show routinely stars six actors, Jeevan, Karan, Lalit, Manish, Nishant, and Omkar. Since the show has been on the air for a long time, some of the actors are good friends and some do not get along at all. In an effort to keep peace, the director sees to it that friends work together and enemies do not. Also, as the actors have become more popular, some of them need time off to do other projects. To keep the schedule working, the director has a few things she must be aware of:
1. Jeevan will only work on episodes on which Manish is working.
2. Nishant will not work with Karan under any circumstances.
3.Manish can only work every other week, in order to be free to film a movie
4. At least three of the actors must appear in every weekly episode.
Question: 1

In a show Lalit getting a job at the same company Jeevan already works for and Karan used to work, all three actors will appear.
Which of the following is true about the other actors who may appear?

Show Hint

When a rule says "X will only work if Y is working," treat it as a one-way dependency: $X \implies Y$. If $X$ is present, $Y$ is mandatory. However, if $Y$ is present, $X$ is not necessarily required!

Question: 2

Next week, the show involves Nishant’s new car and Omkar’s new refrigerator. Which of the following is true about the other actors who may appear?

Show Hint

When a puzzle spans multiple questions, always track "state" changes. The "every other week" rule for Manish is a temporal constraint—if he was in the last episode, he's automatically a "No" for the next one, which often triggers a chain reaction of other exclusions!
