Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
Six persons – A, B, C, D, E and F – were born in different months – April, July, and September – on two different dates, i.e., 9th and 26th of the same year. Each person likes a different colour – Red, Blue, Pink, Green, White, and Yellow. All the information is not necessarily used in the same order
Two persons were born between F and the person who likes red. D was born immediately before F on an odd date and in the month having even number of days. The one who likes pink was born two persons before C. E was born immediately before C on an even date. Two persons were born between the ones who like pink and blue. A was born before the one who likes green and two persons after the one who likes yellow. E doesn’t like yellow.
Who among the following was born on 9th July?
Correct Answer :
The one who likes pink color
Solution :
To find who was born on 9th July, let us analyze the given information step-by-step and construct the birth order.
There are three months: April (30 days), July (31 days), and September (30 days).
The dates of birth are either the 9th (odd date) or the 26th (even date) of these months.
This gives us 6 chronological positions:
1. April 9th (odd date, even month days)
2. April 26th (even date, even month days)
3. July 9th (odd date, odd month days)
4. July 26th (even date, odd month days)
5. September 9th (odd date, even month days)
6. September 26th (even date, even month days)
Let's use the clues:
1. "D was born immediately before F on an odd date and in the month having even number of days."
An odd date in a month with an even number of days (April or September) can be April 9th or September 9th.
Since D is born immediately before F, D must be on April 9th (which means F is on April 26th) or D must be on September 9th (which means F is on September 26th).
Let us analyze the position of E and C: "E was born immediately before C on an even date."
This means E must be born on an even date (the 26th), and C is born immediately after E (on the 9th of the next month).
The possible positions for (E, C) are:
- E on April 26th, C on July 9th
- E on July 26th, C on September 9th
Let's test Case 1: D is on April 9th, which makes F on April 26th.
If F is on April 26th, then E cannot be on April 26th. Thus, E must be on July 26th, and C must be on September 9th.
So, the order of persons would be:
- April 9th: D
- April 26th: F
- July 9th: [Vacant]
- July 26th: E
- September 9th: C
- September 26th: [Vacant] (This must be A or B)
Let's check the pink and C clue: "The one who likes pink was born two persons before C."
Since C is on September 9th (position 5), the one who likes pink must be born at position 3 (July 9th).
Let's check the E and C clue: "E was born immediately before C on an even date." (E is on July 26th, which is an even date. This works.)
Let's check the blue and pink clue: "Two persons were born between the ones who like pink and blue."
Since the one who likes pink is at position 3 (July 9th), the one who likes blue can be at position 6 (September 26th) because there are two positions (July 26th and September 9th) between them.
Let's check the F and red clue: "Two persons were born between F and the person who likes red."
F is at position 2 (April 26th). Two persons are between position 2 and position 5. So the person at position 5 (C) must like Red.
Let's check the yellow and A clue: "A was born before the one who likes green and two persons after the one who likes yellow."
"two persons after" means if the one who likes yellow is at position X, A is at position X + 2.
Since D is at position 1, F is at 2, E is at 4, C is at 5, the remaining positions for A and B are 3 (July 9th) and 6 (September 26th).
If A is at position 6, then the one who likes yellow must be at position 4 (E). But we are given "E doesn’t like yellow."
Therefore, A must be at position 3 (July 9th).
If A is at position 3, then the one who likes yellow must be at position 1 (D). This is valid.
Since A is at position 3, the remaining person B must be at position 6 (September 26th).
Let's check the green clue: "A was born before the one who likes green". Since A is at position 3, the one who likes green can be at position 4, 5, or 6.
We already established that the one who likes pink is at position 3 (July 9th). Since A is at position 3, A is the one who likes pink.
Therefore, the person born on 9th July is A, who likes the pink color.
Comparing with the given options, "The one who likes pink color" is the correct option.
