Four persons, Meena, Tarun, Kavita, and Amit, travelled to four cities on July dates: 5, 12, 19, and 26. Kavita did not go on the 5th or 26th. Amit travelled before Tarun. Meena went after Kavita. Kavita went after Tarun. Who travelled on the 19th?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Given chronological dates: 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th July.
From the given statements:
• Amit travelled before Tarun: Amit < Tarun
• Kavita went after Tarun: Tarun < Kavita
• Meena went after Kavita: Kavita < Meena
Combining the order of travel:
Amit < Tarun < Kavita < Meena
Assigning the dates in chronological order:
• 5th July: Amit
• 12th July: Tarun
• 19th July: Kavita
• 26th July: Meena
This also satisfies the condition that Kavita did not travel on the 5th or 26th.
Therefore, Kavita travelled on the 19th.
