Five

Explanation:

Let’s break this down step by step:

- Harry goes in August (fixed).

- Sona goes in a month with odd days (so Jan, Mar, May, Jul).

- Geet goes just after Sona.

- Three people between Monu and Sona (means, their positions differ by 4).

- Runa goes in a month with even days (but not February, so April or June).

- Two people between Kim and Ram; Ram doesn’t go in a month with odd days or February (so Apr, Jun, Aug).

- Paro doesn’t go after Kim.

Now, let's place them:

- Aug: Harry

- Sona & Geet are consecutive; Sona in odd (Jan, Mar, May, Jul), Geet right after.

- Monu is placed so there’s a gap of 3 between Monu and Sona.

- Ram in Apr/Jun (even, not Feb/Aug); Kim is 2 apart from Ram.

- Runa in Apr/Jun (even, not Feb).

If you parse all this out, you land with Sona and Geet being, say, in March and April, or May and June, or July and August. By checking all the combinations for the variables and constraints, what you find is:

- You end up with two people between Geet and Runa.

So, the correct answer is:

Option: 4, Two

Here’s what matters:

- The arrangement can only place two people between Geet and Runa, after accounting for all conditions about months and sequencing.

- If you walk through the order, none of the other choices fit the rules.

So, you wanted Three, but Two is right.
