Karnataka – Rajasthan
Incorrect AnswerD – Tripura
Incorrect AnswerA – Punjab
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Sure, let's analyze the events:
- Event A is on a prime date in a month with 31 days. May and July fit the criteria.
- There are two events between A and Uttarakhand.
- Kerala follows Uttarakhand immediately.
- Events before C and after Kerala are equal, thus placing C in July 13.
- One event separates C and Rajasthan.
- Rajasthan and E have no events between them, but E is not in Rajasthan.
- Tripura is before Punjab.
- D is after B but before F.
- Karnataka hosts one event.
Let's examine the options while highlighting the odd pair:
1. E – D: Both events could be in different sequences. Unrelated.
2. Karnataka – Rajasthan: Both places for events. Unrelated.
3. D – Tripura: Both events could align. No strong connection.
4. A – Punjab: Both distinct but could relate by sequence. Unrelated.
5. ?? B – E: Both specific events, not directly aligned in the sequence.
Thus, the correct odd one out is option 5: B – E.
