Solution :

The correct option is Pink.


Let's analyze the given information step-by-step to arrange the six persons (H, K, L, R, S, V) and their liked colors across the dates (11 and 22) of three months (September, October, November):


1. Months and Dates available:
- September 11 (30 days - even numbered month)
- September 22 (30 days - even numbered month)
- October 11 (31 days - odd numbered month)
- October 22 (31 days - odd numbered month)
- November 11 (30 days - even numbered month)
- November 22 (30 days - even numbered month)


2. Placing L and S:
- L and S visit on the same date in a month having an even number of days (September or November).
- The person who likes yellow visits three persons after L (meaning 3 steps/positions after L, so there are 2 persons between L and Yellow).
- Since someone visits 3 persons after L, L must be early in the schedule.
- Therefore, L must visit on September 11. Consequently, S also visits on the 11th of a month with even days, which must be November 11.


3. Placing Yellow, R, and Green:
- The one who likes yellow visits 3 persons after L (September 11), so Yellow visits on October 22 (4th position).
- Two persons visit between S (November 11, 5th position) and R who likes green.
- Thus, R must be on September 22 (2nd position), and R likes Green.


4. Placing V:
- The number of persons visiting before R (1 person before R) is the same as the number of persons visiting after V.
- Since 1 person visits after V, V must visit on November 11 (5th position).
- Therefore, S and V share November 11, meaning S = November 11 (5th position).


5. Placing H, K, White, and Blue:
- The one who likes White visits just before H.
- No one visits between K and the one who likes Blue.
- Filling the remaining schedule positions:
- September 11 (1st): L
- September 22 (2nd): R (Green)
- October 11 (3rd): K (White)
- October 22 (4th): H (Yellow)
- November 11 (5th): S (Blue / Pink / Red)
- November 22 (6th): V


6. Determining Colors:
- White is just before H, so K (October 11) likes White.
- No one visits between K and Blue, so H (October 22) or R (September 22) is adjacent, but R is Green, so the position after K, which is H or adjacent, gets Blue, or V gets Blue.
- Evaluating the colors: Red visits before Pink.
- Placing the remaining colors (Red, Pink, Blue) among L, S, and V gives S the color Pink.


Hence, S likes Pink.
