Six authors U, V, W, X, Y, and Z were honoured in an award ceremony in six different months: January, March, April, June, August, and September, and were honoured for their novels Animal Farm, Beloved, Moby-Dick, Jane Eyre, Little Women, and The Alchemist. No two persons were honoured in the same month. The given information is not necessarily in the same order. Z was honoured three months after V. The person who wrote The Alchemist was honoured three months after the one who wrote Jane Eyre. Only three persons were honoured between the authors of Moby-Dick and Animal Farm. W was honoured just before the author of Beloved but was not the author of Moby-Dick. The author of Little Women was honoured in the month that has an even number of days. X was honoured before U. The author of Animal Farm was honoured after Z. Neither Animal Farm nor Beloved was written by U. X was not the first author to be honoured. Who among the following was honoured four months after the author of Little Women?
- X
- V
- W
- Y
Correct answer: W
Solution
Using the month gaps, the authors and books can be arranged uniquely across January, March, April, June, August, and September. Little Women falls in a month such that four months later corresponds to W. Hence, W was honoured four months after the author of Little Women.
