The one, who auctioned Puma, auctioned on any day after Friday, that means we have two possible day for the one who auctioned Puma, in case (1) the one who auctioned Puma, auctioned on Saturday, in case (2) the one who auctioned Puma, auctioned on Sunday. There were two days gap between the one, who have Toyota and U who auctioned Puma. Z auctioned Adidas on Tuesday. There were two days gap between Z and the one who has Mahindra. The one, who auctioned Woodland, auctioned on adjacent day of the one who has Mahindra, that means we have three possible day for the one who auctioned Woodland, in case (1) & case (2a) the one who auctioned Woodland auctioned on Thursday, in case (2b) the one who auctioned Woodland auctioned on Saturday. Based on above given information we have- We have: X neither auctioned on adjacent day of the one has Toyota nor on adjacent day of U. One person auctioned between the one who auctioned Reebok and X, who has Honda, that means X auctioned on Monday.
