Explanation:

Let’s break this all down and walk through the logic step by step:

- B’s holiday is 28th June, which is the first Sunday you’re dealing with. Start building from here.

- There are four Sundays between B and E, but E's holiday is after B. That puts E on the 2nd August. (Sundays: 28th June, 5th July, 12th July, 19th July, 26th July, 2nd August.)

- Reminder: There’s no holiday on 12th July. So 12th July has to be skipped.

- B and A: The number of Sundays between B and A is the same as between E and G.

- J and H are one Sunday apart, with H after J. H, L, K all have holiday on the same day.

- D shares his holiday with two other people—not J, not I. D, then, is with a group of three.

- A and C share a day. G only shares with J.

- No one shares with E. No one shares with B.

- F, I, A are each separated by one Sunday.

Here’s what this really boils down to about G and B:

- G and J must be together, but not with anyone else.

- From above, possible Sundays for holidays after 28th June (excluding 12th July) are: 28th June, 5th July, 19th July, 26th July, 2nd August, and possibly more.

- Mapping holidays, G and J will not be with anyone else, but placement depends largely on other clues.

So, how many Sundays between G and B?

Let’s count:

- If B is 28th June and holidays are:

28 June (B) – 5 July – 19 July – 26 July – 2 August (E)

(G, J must occupy one of these slots but count only the Sundays *between* G and B.)

Let’s say G (with J) falls on 19th July:

Between 28th June and 19th July: 5th July and 12th July, but 12th July is skipped, so only one Sunday (5th July) comes in between.

But if G is on 26th July:

Between 28th June and 26th July: 5th July, 12th July (no one), 19th July. Skipping 12th July, you have 5th July and 19th July—that’s two Sundays between.

If G is on 2 August:

Between 28th June and 2nd August: 5th July, 12th July (no one), 19th July, 26th July. So three Sundays in between: 5th July, 19th July, 26th July.

That means, Option 3—Three Sundays—is correct if G is on 2 August.

Here’s what you were asked: How many Sundays between G and B?

- Option 1: Two ?

- Option 2: One ?

- Option 3: Three

- Option 4: Four ?

- Option 5: Five ?

So, bottom line: Your logic is sound. The answer is option 3—Three Sundays between G and B.
