Read the following information carefully and answer the question: Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H celebrated their birthdays in different months of the same year: January, March, May, June, July, August, and November, but not necessarily in the same order. G celebrates his birthday in one of the months that has 30 days, but before November. Three persons celebrate their birthdays between H and G. C's birthday is just before H. The number of persons who celebrate after C is one less than the number of persons who celebrate before A. The number of birthdays between G and D is the same as the number of birthdays between G and F. Also, D celebrates his birthday just before C. B celebrates his birthday before E. Who among the following celebrates his birthday in November? 1. G 2. B 3. H 4. C 5. None of these

1. G
2. B
3. H
4. C

Correct answer: H

Solution

The clues force a unique arrangement of the birthdays across the months. After placing D just before C and C just before H, the remaining conditions about G, A, B, and E determine that H is in November.
