Read the following information carefully and answer the questions.
Six persons – A, B, C, D, E and F were born in six different months of the same year – January, March, May, July, September and November (not necessarily in the same order). Each of them also likes a different adventure activity – Trekking, Paragliding, Scuba Diving, Rafting, Skydiving and Bungee Jumping (not necessarily in the same order).
The one who likes skydiving was born four months after E. The number of persons born before E is one more than the number persons born after D. D was born immediate after the one who lives scuba diving. Two persons were born between the ones who like scuba diving and rafting A was born two months after the one who likes rafting. Three persons were born between A and the one who likes Paragliding. Two persons were born between C and the one who likes bungee Jumping. B was born after E.
Who was born in the month of March?
Correct Answer :
A
Solution :
To determine who was born in the month of March, we can analyze the clues step-by-step and map the six persons (A, B, C, D, E, F) and their adventure activities to the six given months in chronological order:
1. January
2. March
3. May
4. July
5. September
6. November
Let the chronological positions of the months be represented by 1 to 6 (1 = January, 2 = March, 3 = May, 4 = July, 5 = September, 6 = November). Note that each consecutive month in this list is exactly 2 months apart.
We are given:
Testing the possible positions for (where E cannot be November as Skydiving is born after E):
We are given:
Let us evaluate E = May (Position 3) and D = September (Position 5):
We currently have the following table:
| Month | Position | Person | Adventure Activity |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 1 | - | Rafting |
| March | 2 | A | - |
| May | 3 | E | - |
| July | 4 | - | Scuba Diving |
| September | 5 | D | Skydiving |
| November | 6 | - | Paragliding |
Now we apply the remaining clues:
The final arrangement of the persons and their months is:
