Yussef works with Wilson at least one day during the week
Xavier works exactly two days during the week
Yussef works with Wilson at least one day during the week
The same two greenskeepers work Monday and Friday

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

If Wilson works alone on Wednesday and exactly two greenskeepers work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, then:

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Thursday
___	___	W	___	___
___	___		___	___

Notice that no matter who works Tuesday and Thursday, Wilson must be one of the two greenskeepers who works on Friday:

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Thursday
W	___	W	___	W
___	___		___	___

If Zachary works on Monday, then Yussef and Xavier must work on Wednesday. But if Yussef works on Monday, then Zachary and Xavier work on Tuesday. Or Xavier could work on Monday and Zachary and Yussef will work on Tuesday. The same is true for Thursday and Friday. In all case, Xavier, Yussef and Zachary each work exactly two days.
