As the CEO of a multinational company, Aurobindo receives mails from ten of his offices located in the following regions: Arizona, Bangkok, Chicago, Denmark, Ethiopia, Finland, Greece, Holland, Indonesia and Japan.

However, his assistant messed up the simplicity of reading the mails. He labelled these locations from 1 to 10, not necessarily in the same order, but forgot the numbers he had assigned to the locations. If the numbers were arranged in ascending order from 1 to 10, he had the following information:

  1. E was numbered 5 and F was numbered 10.
  2. E’s number was as much greater than D’s as it was less than A’s.
  3. G had the smallest number and H was numbered 5 places away from G.
  4. I and B were adjacent to each other and J was numbered greater than I.

The alphabets mentioned above corresponded to the initial character of each location.

During a certain week on all working days (Monday to Saturday), Aurobindo had received mails from four locations everyday.
Except for two locations from where he did not receive any mail during the entire week, he had received mails from all other locations exactly thrice.
