    A V Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B R Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Team D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Team F Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E O Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    S is played in last slot of last day. Team L plays P on Wednesday in third slot.  O is played by team G immediately before S. Only 3 teams play between team F and I. (so, we get 2 possible cases here as position of I is not confirmed). Case-1 Team E plays X. Team D plays Y at 12:00pm. (so, only possibility is team D playing on Monday). Only 2 teams play between I and J teams Case-1 Team H plays U. (So, case 2 gets eliminated as it does not satisfy the condition). V and Z are played on the same day. (so, Z must be played on Wednesday). Q is played immediately before Z. Team A plays W. (only possible place is W is played on Sunday).
