Who deliver the lecture on 6th March ........

Logical Reasoning(SBI-CL) Puzzle Test

Eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H have to deliver lectures on either the 6 or 17 of four different months among January, March, April and July but not necessarily in the same order. Not more than 2 persons will give a lecture in a month. Only one person will deliver a lecture each day. A delivers his lecture on the 6 of a month which has only 31 days but not in the month of March. E delivers the lecture immediately after B. Only three lectures were delivered between A and B. Only two persons give lectures between F and C and C is not the last one. The number of persons who give the lecture after E is the same as the number of persons who give the lecture before F. G and C give their lectures in the same month. D gives the lecture before H.

Explanation:

Let’s break this down:

- Eight friends: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H.

- Dates: 6th or 17th of Jan, Mar, Apr, and July (all months have up to two lectures).

- Only one person per date.

Here’s the relevant info:

- A gives a lecture on the 6th of a month with 31 days, but not March (Jan, Mar, Jul—so either Jan or Jul for A, but not Mar).

- E goes right after B.

- There are three lectures between A and B.

- Only two people between F and C. C isn’t last.

- Same number of folks before F as after E.

- G and C are in the same month.

- D comes before H.

The question: Who gives the lecture on 6th March?

Let’s zero in:

- If A can't be on 6th March, scratch him off.

- E and B go back to back somewhere.

- Let’s check the options:

Option 1: G

Option 2: B

Option 3: C

Option 4: H

Option 5: E

Based on all the chain-reactions from above, to keep three between A and B, and account for E right after B, and the symmetry around F/E, you’ll find B is the only one who realistically fits into 6th March.

So your answer:

Option 2 - B

B delivers the lecture on 6th March.

Notes:

- A can’t be on 6th March, so scratch that off.

- E must come after B, but spacing doesn’t let E land on 6th March.

- C and G have to be paired in a month; doesn’t fit for 6th March.

- D and H are ordered but not in 6th March.

All clues resolve with B on 6th March. So you’ve got it!
