A company has decided to give one extra leave to ten employees: J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, and S. Two dates of each month have been fixed for extra leave, i.e. 10th and 15th, and only one person can take leave on any one day of a month. Five different months are April, May, June, July, and August. Only two leaves will be left after M's leave. More than four people will take leave between M and S. Q will take leave on any day after M. J, P, and M will take leave on the same date. P will take leave after J but before M. J and S will not take leave in the same month. L will take leave before J but not in May. At most two people will take leave between L and R. Three people will take leave between K and P. N will take leave after O, but neither of them will take leave in June. How many people will take leave between L and P?
- One
- Two
- Three
- Four
Correct answer: Three
Solution
This is a linear scheduling puzzle with month-date positions. Using the constraints that J, P, and M share the same date and that P is after J but before M, the arrangement forces L to be three positions away from P. Therefore, three people take leave between L and P.
