Persons – P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W
Months – January, February, March, June, July, August, October and December
1. W has a birthday in the month of December.

4. R has a birthday in a month which has less than 31 days. Moreover, only two people have birthdays between R and S.

1. P was born in 2007.
2. M is 31 years old.

5. R was born after T.
T

6. O was born just before N, whose age is not an odd number. So, case 2 would be invalid as it contradicts the given case. Also, Q must be 33 years old.

Hence, R is the youngest.

K, C, D, and F are born in the month having 31 days.
J is born in September which has 30 days.

Ans: D

People = A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I
Months = January, April, and September
Date = 3 rd , 8 th and 23rd
1) D visited the dentist in one of the months which has 30 days in it.
2) At least three people visited the dentist after D who visited the dentist on a numerically prime date.
(Implies, D visited the dentist either in April or September, but as at least three people visited the dentist after him, implies, D visited the dentist in April.
There are two possibilities for the date either 3 rd of April or 23 rd of April.)
3) The two people who visited the dentist between C and E visited in one of the months which has 31 days in it.
(This is only possible if C visited the dentist on 3 rd of January and E visited the dentist on 3 rd of April or vice-versa.
This further implies, that D visited the dentist on 23 rd of April.)

4) H visited the dentist on Date 3 rd of one of the months.
(It is only possible if H visited the dentist on 3 rd of September.)

5) B went for his check up on one of the days before E but I visited the dentist on one of the days before B did.
(Implies, E must have visited the dentist on 3 rd of April. Now, as both C and I visited the dentist before B, implies, B went for the check up on 23 rd of January, I visited on 8 th of January and C visited on 3 rd of January.)
C
I
B
E
6) Two people went for their check up between F and A.
7) No body visited the dentist between A and G.
(Implies, F and A visited the dentist on 8 th April and 8 th September, but not necessarily in the same order. Also, if we assume that A visited the dentist on 8 th April then there is no way we can place G in the table so that it satisfies the condition given above. Thus, our assumption was wrong, F visited the dentist on 8 th April, A on 8 th Sept, and G on 23 rd Sept.)
F
A
G
Clearly, four people went for the check up after F.

Ans: C

4. R has a birthday in a month which has less than 31 days. Moreover, only two people have birthdays between R and S.
5. The number of people between P and V is the same as the number of people between V and U.
Hence, R has a birthday in June and S has a birthday in October.

Hence, P has birthday before T and after R.

The logic follows here is:
1) History has to be immediately after Geography
2) Science has to be earlier than History
Now, it is given that the Mathematics period is scheduled before Science
3) English has to be earlier than Mathematics
4) English has to be either immediately before or immediately after Hindi
or
Arrange the periods according to the schedule.
From the above schedule, it is clear that Geography must be the fifth period.
Hence, the correct answer is fifth.
