Solution :

The correct option is V.


Let's step through the logic to determine the schedule and color preference for each of the six persons.


Step 1: Identify the Available Slots
The visits take place across three months on two dates each (11 and 22):
1. 11 September (30 days - even numbered days)
2. 22 September (30 days - even numbered days)
3. 11 October (31 days - odd numbered days)
4. 22 October (31 days - odd numbered days)
5. 11 November (30 days - even numbered days)
6. 22 November (30 days - even numbered days)


Step 2: Place L and Yellow
- "L and S visit on same date and in the month of even numbered days." The months with even numbered days (30 days) are September and November. So L must visit in September or November.
- "The one who likes yellow visits three persons after L." This means if L is at position x, the person who likes yellow is at position x + 3.
- If L visits on 11 September (Slot 1), then Yellow visits on 22 October (Slot 4).
- If L visits on 22 September (Slot 2), then Yellow visits on 11 November (Slot 5).
- If L visits in November, there wouldn't be 3 persons after L. So L must be in September.


Step 3: Determine S and R's Position
- Since L and S are on the same date in months with 30 days, one is on the 11th/22nd of September and the other is on the same date of November.
- If L is on 11 September (Slot 1), S is on 11 November (Slot 5).
- "Two persons visit between S and R who likes green."
If S is at Slot 5 (11 Nov), two persons between S and R means R can be at Slot 2 (22 Sept).
- "Number of persons visit before R is same as the number of persons visit after V."
R is at Slot 2 (1 person before R), so V must be at Slot 5 (1 person after V, which is Slot 6). But Slot 5 is occupied by S! So L cannot be at 11 Sept.


Let's try: L on 22 September (Slot 2).
- Then Yellow is at Slot 5 (11 November).
- S must be on 22 November (Slot 6) to match the date (22nd) and even month (November).
- "Two persons visit between S and R who likes green."
S is at Slot 6, so two persons between S and R puts R at Slot 3 (11 October). R likes green.
- "Number of persons visit before R is same as the number of persons visit after V."
There are 2 persons before R (Slots 1 and 2), so there must be 2 persons after V. This puts V at Slot 4 (22 October).


Step 4: Fill in Remaining Persons and Colors
- We have the following slots so far:
1. 11 Sept: _
2. 22 Sept: L
3. 11 Oct: R (Green)
4. 22 Oct: V
5. 11 Nov: _ (Yellow)
6. 22 Nov: S


- "The one who likes white visit just before H."
Since Slot 4 (V) and Slot 5 are open, if H is at Slot 5, then V (Slot 4) likes White.
Now the remaining person K must be at Slot 1 (11 Sept).


- "No one visit between K and the one who likes blue."
K is at Slot 1, so the person right after K, which is L (Slot 2), likes Blue.


- "The one who likes red visits before the one who likes pink."
The remaining colors for K (Slot 1) and S (Slot 6) are Red and Pink. Thus, K likes Red and S likes Pink.


Final Arrangement:
1. 11 September: K (Red)
2. 22 September: L (Blue)
3. 11 October: R (Green)
4. 22 October: V (White)
5. 11 November: H (Yellow)
6. 22 November: S (Pink)


Therefore, V visits on 22 October.
