Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
Six individuals – P, Q, R, S, T, and U – scheduled their vacation trips in three different months – March, June, and November – on two distinct dates, namely 11th and 18th of the same year. Each individual visits a different city – Boston, Dallas, Miami, Seattle, Chicago, and Denver. All the given information is not necessarily applied in the same order.
The one who visits Boston was scheduled two persons before R. Q was scheduled immediately before R on an even date. T was scheduled immediately before U on an odd date in a month having 30 days. Two persons were scheduled between U and the person visiting Miami. Two persons were scheduled between the ones visiting Boston and Chicago. P was scheduled before the one who visits Denver and two persons after the one who visits Seattle. U doesn’t visit Seattle.
Who among the following visits Chicago?
Correct Answer :
The one who was scheduled immediately after R
Solution :
The correct answer is The one who was scheduled immediately after R.
Step-by-step Explanation:
There are six vacation slots scheduled across three months (March, June, November) on two distinct dates (11th and 18th):
1. March 11th (Odd date, 31 days)
2. March 18th (Even date, 31 days)
3. June 11th (Odd date, 30 days)
4. June 18th (Even date, 30 days)
5. November 11th (Odd date, 30 days)
6. November 18th (Even date, 30 days)
Step 1: Position T and U
T was scheduled immediately before U on an odd date (11th) in a month having 30 days (June or November).
- Option A: T is on June 11th, so U is on June 18th.
- Option B: T is on November 11th, so U is on November 18th.
Step 2: Position Q, R, and Boston
- Q was scheduled immediately before R on an even date (18th).
- The one who visits Boston was scheduled two persons before R.
If Option A were true (T on June 11th), then Q would have to be on March 18th and R on June 11th, which conflicts with T being on June 11th.
Thus, Option B is correct: T is scheduled on November 11th and U on November 18th.
Therefore, Q is scheduled on March 18th (2nd slot), R is scheduled on June 11th (3rd slot), and Boston is at March 11th (1st slot).
Step 3: Assign cities and remaining persons
- Two persons were scheduled between U (6th slot) and the person visiting Miami, placing Miami at the 3rd slot (June 11th, visited by R).
- Two persons were scheduled between Boston (1st slot) and Chicago, placing Chicago at the 4th slot (June 18th).
- P was scheduled two persons after the person visiting Seattle. The 4th slot (June 18th) is two persons after the 2nd slot (March 18th). Therefore, P is scheduled on June 18th (and visits Chicago), while Q (March 18th) visits Seattle.
- The remaining individual, S, is scheduled on March 11th and visits Boston.
Final Schedule Table:
1. March 11th: S - Boston
2. March 18th: Q - Seattle
3. June 11th: R - Miami
4. June 18th: P - Chicago
5. November 11th: T - Dallas / Denver
6. November 18th: U - Denver / Dallas
Thus, the individual who visits Chicago is P, who is scheduled on June 18th — immediately after R (June 11th).
