Six persons P, Q, R, S, T and U were born in three different months: May, September and November, on two different dates, 9 and 16, not necessarily in the same order. - P was born after R but not on the same date as R. - The number of persons born before S is equal to the number of persons born after T. - Q and U were born in the same month. - T was born in a month having even number of days. - Two persons were born between R and T. Who was born on 16th November?
- R
- P
- Either Q or U
- U
Correct answer: Either Q or U
Solution
The clues create a fixed order of births across the six slots formed by month-date combinations. Because Q and U are in the same month and the other conditions constrain the relative positions of R, P, S, and T, the 16th November slot can only belong to either Q or U.
