Study the following information carefully to answer the questions given below.
Seven team members (P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V) present their annual project reports (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, and Eta) in seven different months of the same year, namely, January, April, May, June, August, September, and October. All the information is not necessarily in the same order.
The member presenting in April works on Gamma. S, who works on Alpha, presents in June. P presents immediately before S. T presents in the month having 31 days which comes after June, but not in October. The one working on Epsilon presents in the same month as T. Q presents in January and works on Beta. R presents in the month having 30 days which comes after August. The number of members presenting before P is one more than the number of members presenting after R. There are four members presenting between Q and the one who works on Zeta. U presents in October. The one who works on Eta presents in October.
Which of the following combinations is correctly matched?
Correct Answer :
R-Zeta
Solution :
The correct option is R-Zeta.
Let's analyze the given information step-by-step to determine the schedule and project for each member:
1. Months and Number of Days:
- January (31 days)
- April (30 days)
- May (31 days)
- June (30 days)
- August (31 days)
- September (30 days)
- October (31 days)
2. Direct Clues and Step-by-Step Placement:
- Q presents in January and works on Beta:
January → Q (Beta)
- S, who works on Alpha, presents in June:
June → S (Alpha)
- P presents immediately before S:
Since S presents in June, P presents in May.
May → P
- The member presenting in April works on Gamma:
April → Gamma
- T presents in the month having 31 days which comes after June, but not in October:
The months after June having 31 days are August and October. Since T is not in October, T presents in August.
August → T
- The one working on Epsilon presents in the same month as T:
August → T (Epsilon)
- R presents in the month having 30 days which comes after August:
The only month after August having 30 days is September.
September → R
- U presents in October, and the one who works on Eta presents in October:
October → U (Eta)
- There are four members presenting between Q (January) and the one who works on Zeta:
The month 4 positions after January is September. Thus, R (September) works on Zeta.
September → R (Zeta)
3. Remaining Positions:
- The only remaining month for the team member is April, which must be assigned to V.
April → V (Gamma)
- The remaining project for P (May) is Delta.
May → P (Delta)
Final Arrangement:
- January: Q - Beta
- April: V - Gamma
- May: P - Delta
- June: S - Alpha
- August: T - Epsilon
- September: R - Zeta
- October: U - Eta
Checking the given options against our final table:
- V-June: Incorrect (V is in April)
- R-Zeta: Correct (R is paired with Zeta in September)
- Q-Alpha: Incorrect (Q is paired with Beta)
- T-Delta: Incorrect (T is paired with Epsilon)
- P-April: Incorrect (P is in May)
