    The one, who likes Banana, likes on any day after Friday, that means we have two possible day for the one who likes Banana, in case (1) the one who likes Banana, likes on Saturday, in case (2) the one who likes Banana, likes on Sunday. There were two days gap between the one, who have Green and R who likes Banana. M likes Mango on Tuesday. There were two days gap between M and the one who has Brown. The one, who likes Guava, likes on adjacent day of the one who has Brown, that means we have three possible day for the one who likes Guava, in case (1) & case (2a) the one who likes Guava likes on Thursday, in case (2b) the one who likes Guava likes on Saturday. Based on above given information we have: O neither likes on adjacent day of the one has Green nor on adjacent day of R.  One person likes between the one who likes Papaya and O, who has yellow, that means O likes on Monday. There were three days gap between the one who has Blue and the one who likes Papaya. S neither has Blue nor he likes before the one who likes Guava and he likes Litchi. There were two days gap between S and the one who likes Pink, who likes on adjacent day of the one who has Green, that means case (2b) is not valid, in case (1) S likes on Friday, in case (2a) S likes on Saturday. Based on above given information we have: Case (2b) is not valid as S doesn’t like before the one who likes Guava. The one who has red and P likes on adjacent days. There were three days gap between P and the one who likes Apple, that means in case (1) P likes on Wednesday, in case (2) P likes on Friday.
