Five people, Dev, Riya, Saif, Tina, and Kabir, went to a city on the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th of August. Riya went on the 4th. Kabir went on the 10th. Tina did not go on the 2nd. Tina went before Dev. Saif did not go immediately after Riya.
Who went on the 8th?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Based on the given information, we can determine the schedule for the five people on August 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10:
• 4th August: Riya (given)
• 10th August: Kabir (given)
The remaining dates are 2nd, 6th, and 8th, and the remaining people are Dev, Saif, and Tina.
• Tina did not go on the 2nd, and she went before Dev. Therefore, Tina cannot go on the 8th (as no remaining date would be left after her for Dev). Thus, Tina went on the 6th.
• Since Dev went after Tina, Dev went on the 8th.
• This leaves the 2nd August for Saif (satisfying the condition that Saif did not go immediately after Riya on the 6th).
Final Schedule:
• 2nd August: Saif
• 4th August: Riya
• 6th August: Tina
• 8th August: Dev
• 10th August: Kabir
Therefore, Dev went on the 8th.
