The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the given information step by step to determine who the physician is among E, F, G, H, and K. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Physician's Day**: - From the first statement, we know that the physician visits the hospital every **Monday**. 2. **Identify E's Profession**: - The second statement tells us that **E is the cardiologist** and does not visit on **Tuesday or Thursday**. Therefore, E must visit on either **Monday** (but the physician is there) or **Wednesday** or **Friday**. 3. **Identify K's Profession**: - The third statement indicates that **K is a surgeon** and **G is not the physician**. This means G cannot be the physician. 4. **Identify H's Day**: - The fifth statement tells us that **H works on a Tuesday** and **K works on the following day** (Wednesday). Since K is a surgeon, K must visit on Wednesday. 5. **Determine the Remaining Days**: - Since H works on Tuesday, K works on Wednesday, and E cannot work on Tuesday or Thursday, E must work on **Friday**. This leaves **Monday** and **Thursday** for the physician and the nephrologist. 6. **Identify the Nephrologist**: - The fourth statement states that the person who visits on **Thursday is not a nephrologist**. Since K is a surgeon and H works on Tuesday, the only remaining option for Thursday must be **F**. Therefore, F must be the physician who works on **Monday**. 7. **Conclusion**: - Since we have established that F is the physician who visits on Monday, we can conclude that the answer to the question "Who is the physician?" is **F**. ### Final Answer: **B. F**
