Directions: Analyze the details provided below to answer the following question.

Eight professionals completed their project submissions across four consecutive months—March, April, May, and June—on two specific dates of each month: the 7th and 22nd.

M finished her submission in a month containing 31 days. Exactly four professionals submitted between M and T, with T submitting after M. T did not submit on the final available date. One person submitted between T and B. The count of individuals who submitted prior to B equals the count of individuals who submitted after W. L made his submission on an odd-numbered date during a 30-day month. Three professionals submitted between L and Q. Q submitted in the same month as K. J submitted after E but before N.

E completed the project submission in which of the following months?

The correct answer is March.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

There are eight submission slots across four consecutive months on two dates (7th and 22nd) of each month. Let us list the positions in chronological order:

1. March 7 (31 days)
2. March 22 (31 days)
3. April 7 (30 days)
4. April 22 (30 days)
5. May 7 (31 days)
6. May 22 (31 days)
7. June 7 (30 days)
8. June 22 (30 days)

1. Position of M and T:
M submitted in a month with 31 days (March or May).
Four professionals submitted between M and T, with T submitting after M. This means T's position is exactly 5 slots after M (Position of T = Position of M + 5).
If M submitted in May (Position 5 or 6), T's position would fall beyond the 8 available slots. Thus, M must have submitted in March.
T did not submit on the final date (June 22 / Position 8). Therefore, T must be on June 7 (Position 7), which places M on March 22 (Position 2).

2. Position of B and W:
One person submitted between T and B. Since T is at Position 7 (June 7), B must be at May 7 (Position 5).
The number of individuals submitting before B equals the number submitting after W.
Since there are 4 individuals before B (Positions 1 to 4), there must be 4 individuals after W. Therefore, W submitted on April 22 (Position 4).

3. Position of L:
L submitted on an odd-numbered date (7th) in a 30-day month (April 7 or June 7).
Since June 7 (Position 7) is occupied by T, L must have submitted on April 7 (Position 3).

4. Position of E:
J submitted after E but before N (E < J < N).
The remaining empty slots are Position 1 (March 7), Position 6 (May 22), and Position 8 (June 22).
To satisfy the order E < J < N, E must occupy the earliest available slot, which is Position 1 (March 7).

Final arrangement of submissions:
• March 7: E
• March 22: M
• April 7: L
• April 22: W
• May 7: B
• May 22: J
• June 7: T
• June 22: N

Hence, E completed the project submission in the month of March.
