Download Solution PDFGiven: Six events, A, B, C, D, E, and F take place on two different dates, 7th and 22nd, of three different months, August, September, and October.
Based on the given conditions, we get the following possibilities:
1. Event D takes place in the month of September. Event C is the last event to take place.
Combining these, we get-
|

|
CASE 1 |
CASE 2 |

AUGUST |
7TH |
|
|
|

OCTOBER |
7TH |
|
|
|
22ND |
C |
C |
|
2. Event F takes place on the first available date in the month of September.
This eliminates Case 1 from above and we get-
|
MONTHS |

|
|
|
SEPTEMBER |
7TH |
F |

|
|
OCTOBER |

3. Event A doesn't take place in the month of August.
From this, we get-
|
MONTHS |

A |
|
22ND |
C |
4. Event B takes place immediately after event E.
From this we get the final arrangement as follows-
|
MONTHS |

B |
|
|
SEPTEMBER |

D |
|
|
OCTOBER |
7TH |
A |
|

Therefore, from the above arrangement, we see that three events take place between B and C.
Hence, three events take place between B and C.
