Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
Six persons – A, B, C, D, E and F – were born in different months – April, July, and September – on two different dates, i.e., 9th and 26th of the same year. Each person likes a different colour – Red, Blue, Pink, Green, White, and Yellow. All the information is not necessarily used in the same order Two persons were born between F and the person who likes red. D was born immediately before F on an odd date and in the month having even number of days. The one who likes pink was born two persons before C. E was born immediately before C on an even date. Two persons were born between the ones who like pink and blue. A was born before the one who likes green and two persons after the one who likes yellow. E doesn’t like yellow.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
In a sequential (date-ordered) arrangement, you first lock the most constrained clue — the one combining an "immediately before/after" link with a fixed date or month — then layer the relative-position clues on top. Convert every "two persons before / after / between" phrase into an exact gap of two slots, and the chain resolves to one seating.
Setting up the timeline
Six fixed slots in time order, with the 9th as the odd date and the 26th as the even date:
April 9 → April 26 → July 9 → July 26 → September 9 → September 26
Month sizes: April = 30 (even), July = 31 (odd), September = 30 (even).
Step-by-step deduction
D is immediately before F, D on an odd date (the 9th), and D in a month with an even number of days (April or September). So the D–F pair is April 9 → April 26, or September 9 → September 26.
E is immediately before C with E on the even date (the 26th). A 26th sitting immediately before the next slot only happens for April 26 → July 9 and July 26 → September 9, so E is a 26th and C is the 9th of the following month.
These two links can coexist only one way: D = April 9, F = April 26, which forces E = July 26 and C = September 9. The remaining people, A and B, take July 9 and September 26.
Pink is two persons before C. C sits at September 9 (slot 5), so Pink is at slot 3 = July 9.
A is two persons after Yellow and before Green. A can only be July 9 or September 26; September 26 has no later slot for Green, so A = July 9 and B = September 26. Two slots before A puts Yellow at April 9 = D.
Pink at July 9 is therefore A. Blue is two slots from Pink → September 26 = B. Red is two slots from F (April 26) → September 9 = C. Green must be later than A, leaving Green = E (July 26) and White = F (April 26). E likes Green, satisfying "E does not like Yellow."
Final arrangement
Date | Person | Colour |
|---|---|---|
April 9 | D | Yellow |
April 26 | F | White |
July 9 | A | Pink |
July 26 | E | Green |
September 9 | C | Red |
September 26 | B | Blue |
Cross-check
The person born on 9th July is A, and A likes pink — so the answer is the one who likes the pink colour. Every clue holds: F and Red are three slots apart, Pink and Blue are three slots apart, and A lies between Yellow and Green.
