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.
Who among the following likes white color?
- A.
The one who was born four persons before B
- B.
C
- C.
A
- D.
The one who was born on 26th September
- E.
None of these
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: E
Concept
This is a linear (chronological) arrangement puzzle. Six people occupy six fixed time-slots ordered by month then date: April 9, April 26, July 9, July 26, September 9, September 26. Fix the most rigid clue first (an exact adjacency that also pins a month and a date), place the remaining people, then layer the colour clues, where "two persons were born between X and Y" means three positions apart and "born two persons before/after" means three positions earlier/later (two people in between).
Application — building the order
Months with an even number of days are April (30) and September (30); July has 31 (odd). D is on an odd date (the 9th) in an even-day month, so D is on April 9 or September 9, and D is immediately before F.
Both D = April 9 (with F = April 26) and D = September 9 (with F = September 26) satisfy the date clues, so check both against the colour clues. In the September-9 branch, the pink/blue-distance and red-distance clues force C and E into the third and fourth remaining slots, leaving only the first two slots for A and B; but "A is born two persons after the Yellow-liker" then needs the Yellow-liker three slots before A, a position that does not exist in either remaining slot -- so this branch cannot satisfy the colour clues and is eliminated. Only D = April 9 survives, so that is the valid branch.
Within the April-9 branch, placing E immediately before C on the 26th gives E = July 9 and C = July 26.
Two people are between F and the Red-liker (three positions apart): with F in the second slot, Red sits in the fifth slot (September 9).
The remaining two slots, September 9 and September 26, take A and B; "A is born two persons after the Yellow-liker" (three positions later) and "A before the Green-liker" fixes A = September 9 and B = September 26.
Chronological order: D, F, E, C, A, B.
Application — assigning colours
Pink is born two persons before C (three earlier): C is in the fourth slot, so Pink falls on the first slot = D. Two people are between Pink and Blue (three apart), so Blue is in the fourth slot = C. Red is in the fifth slot = A (September 9). A is three positions after Yellow, so Yellow is in the second slot = F, and "A before Green" places Green in the last slot = B. The only colour left, White, falls on the third slot = E. E does not like Yellow, which is consistent.
Person | Date | Colour |
|---|---|---|
D | April 9 | Pink |
F | April 26 | Yellow |
E | July 9 | White |
C | July 26 | Blue |
A | September 9 | Red |
B | September 26 | Green |
Cross-check & result
Re-reading every clue against the grid confirms all constraints. The person who likes white is E (born July 9). Checking the listed descriptions: the person born a few places before B is not E; the directly named persons C and A take other colours; the person on September 26 takes another colour. Since none of the four descriptions identifies the white-liker, the matching answer is "None of these."
