Direction: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow:
P, V, X, A, D, I, K and U set out for trip for different number of days such as 2, 8, 11, 5, 6, 4, 7 and 3, they go to the trip in the same order but the order of number of days is not necessary

The trip of P is followed by the trip of D. K’s trip is scheduled for the 8th smallest number of days. X’s trip is not scheduled for three days. U’s trip is scheduled for the second highest prime number of days.
