It says that the two consecutive problems that you solve in a given day should have a minimum difference of K in their vi ( and not every pair of problems that you solve in a given day)
n=5, k=1; 5 3 4 5 6 is can be solved in a given day because that sequence has atleast a variation of 1 between consecutive numbers that is met.
However, if instead it was n=3, k=1; 5 5 6, then you need minimum 2 days to solve it.
It also mentions that the difficulty of problems within a same day must increase . So you cannot solve 3 4 5 5 6 in that order on a same day, because you are not increasing difficulty from 5 to 5.
Therefore, I have the same doubt, seems like you need 2 days to solve the second example for me too.
I can only assume that: " Problems with similar vi values are similar in nature" means you can solve all fives at the same time, but that might be stretching it

I'm looking at the second test case
5 1
5 3 4 5 6
And don't understand can it be solved in a day. We have 2 problems with the same difficulty level - 5.
Solving two problems with same difficulty in a day will be against the rules, right ?
5 in '5 3 4 5 6' do not mean difficulty.
