Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven six persons- B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6 go on a trip on two different dates- 8 and 19.
Three different months- April, May and June.
From statement I,

From statement II, we can’t get any clarity or possibility because of insufficient information.
Also from statement III, we can’t get any clarity or possibility because of insufficient information. Because we can't determine on which date B4 is going. Also, we know B2 goes after B6. But we can't determine the date.
But combining statement I and III we get that case- I, III and IV are cancelled. Because only in case-II, B4 goes on an odd number date which is 19th May. Also, two persons go between B6 and B2. B2 goes after B6. So, we can find the answer,

B2 goes on 8th June.
Hence, only statement I and III are sufficient to find the answer.
