How many person s deliver lectures between B and F ........

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 walk through the clues step by step:

- We have eight people, eight slots. Lectures are on either 6 or 17 in four months (January, March, April, July). Each month gets two lectures.

- Only months with 31 days are January, March, July. April has 30.

- A’s lecture: Given on the 6th, in a 31-day month. Not in March. So, January 6 or July 6.

- E comes immediately after B. So B–E is a pair, next to each other.

- Three lectures between A and B. So A _ _ _ B, or B _ _ _ A.

- F and C: Two people between them. So F _ _ C or C _ _ F; C isn’t last.

- G and C: Same month.

- Equal persons before F and after E. So F and E are at symmetrical positions.

- D before H.

Now, building the sequence logically and skipping a lot of pen-and-paper trial for space, you figure out that B and F end up with only one person between them.

To check options:

1. One (The right one)

2. Two ?

3. Three ?

4. Four ?

5. Five ?

So here’s what you asked for:

Option: 1 - One is absolutely right.

You nailed it. The correct answer is one person delivers lectures between B and F.
