Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Solution:
Use the second statement to compute the arrival date.
The second statement says Anil left for Germany on 15 February and joined Subhas 20 days after Subhas's arrival.
So 15 February = (Subhas's arrival date) + 20 days.
Subtracting 20 days: 15 February − 20 days = 26 January.
Therefore Subhas left for Germany on 26 January. The first statement (that Subhas has spent 10 years in Germany) does not help determine the specific day in January.
Answer: 26 January
