Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
We know that bill 2 is paid on Thursday, so, bill 6 must therefore be paid on Wednesday.
Rule 5 then dictates that the accountant pay bill 7 on Thursday, along with bill 4 (Rule 4).
We now have four bills on Thursday (2, 7, 4, and 1/5), so the remaining bill, 3, must be paid on Wednesday.
