Correct Answer :

Option C

R

Solution :

The correct answer is R.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Based on the given information, six individuals (P, Q, R, S, T, and U) scheduled their vacation trips across three months (March, June, November) on two dates (11th and 18th).

This gives 6 scheduled slots in chronological order:
1. March 11th (Odd date, 31-day month)
2. March 18th (Even date, 31-day month)
3. June 11th (Odd date, 30-day month)
4. June 18th (Even date, 30-day month)
5. November 11th (Odd date, 30-day month)
6. November 18th (Even date, 30-day month)

Step 1: Determine the positions of T, U, Q, and R.
• "T was scheduled immediately before U on an odd date in a month having 30 days."
The odd dates in 30-day months are June 11th and November 11th.
- If T were scheduled on June 11th, U would be on June 18th.
- If T were scheduled on November 11th, U would be on November 18th.

• "Q was scheduled immediately before R on an even date."
The even dates available for Q are March 18th and June 18th.
- If Q were scheduled on June 18th, R would be on November 11th. But if T is on November 11th, this creates a conflict.
- Therefore, T must be scheduled on November 11th and U on November 18th.
- Consequently, Q must be scheduled on March 18th (an even date), which places R immediately after on June 11th.

Step 2: Determine the positions of Boston and Chicago.
• "The one who visits Boston was scheduled two persons before R."
Since R is scheduled 3rd (June 11th), the one visiting Boston must be scheduled 1st on March 11th.

• "Two persons were scheduled between the ones visiting Boston and Chicago."
Since Boston is scheduled 1st (March 11th), the one visiting Chicago must be scheduled 4th on June 18th.

Step 3: Determine the positions of P and S.
• "P was scheduled two persons after the one who visits Seattle."
The remaining available slot for P is 4th (June 18th).
- Thus, the person visiting Seattle is scheduled 2nd on March 18th (Q visits Seattle).
- The remaining individual, S, must be scheduled 1st on March 11th.

Step 4: Final Schedule Overview
• 11th March: S (Boston)
• 18th March: Q (Seattle)
• 11th June: R (Miami)
• 18th June: P (Chicago)
• 11th November: T (Denver / Dallas)
• 18th November: U (Dallas / Denver)

Therefore, R was scheduled on 11th June.
