Six persons visit a city in different months, i.e., January, February, March, April, May, and June. Who among them visits in March? I. M visits in the month having 30 days. Two persons visit between M and B. The number of persons visiting before B is the same as the number of persons visiting after G. II. Two persons visit between D and N. N visits in one of the months after D. G visits just before N. E visits three months before G but not in February.

1. Only I is sufficient
2. Both I and II together are sufficient
3. Either I or II is sufficient
4. Only II is sufficient

Correct answer: Both I and II together are sufficient

Solution

Statement I alone does not uniquely determine who visits in March, and statement II alone also leaves ambiguity. When both statements are combined, the month arrangement becomes fixed enough to identify the person visiting in March. Therefore, both together are sufficient.
