Answers :
Directions (1-4) :
We have:
- I attends seminar on 19th of the month having 30 days.
- At least two person attends seminar before I.
That means, in case (1) I attends seminar on 19thApril, in case (2) I attends seminar on 19th September.
- K attends seminar in one of the month having 31days but not on prime date.
- K attends seminar just after H’s seminar.
- Three person attends seminar between H and I.
That means, in case (1a) H attends seminar on 21st May, in case (1b) H attends seminar on 19th September, in case (2) H attends seminar on 21st April.
- Three person attends seminar between G and H.
- There is no seminar just after G’s seminar.
- G doesn’t attends seminar on 19th.
That means, in case (2) G attends seminar on 12th January, case (1a)& case (1b) are not valid.
Based on above given information we have:
Case (1a) & case (1b) are not valid as three person attends seminar between G and H.
Again, we have:
- G and C attends seminar in same month.
- Number of person attending seminar between C and J is one less than number of number of person attending seminar between E and F.
- E attends seminar before F and doesn’t attends seminar 0n 21st.
- D and F attends seminar in the same month.
- B attends seminar on any day before D.
- No person attends seminar between B and J.
That means, B attends seminar on 12th April and F attends seminar on 21st September.
Based on above given information we have final arrangement as follows:
1) Answer: A
Clearly, C attends seminar Just before B.
Hence, option A is correct choice.
2) Answer: E
Clearly, H attends seminar on 21st April.
Hence, option E is correct choice.
3) Answer: B
Clearly, one person attends seminar before C.
Hence, option B is correct choice.
4) Answer: E
Clearly, both statement B and C are not true.
Hence, option E is correct choice.

Directions (7-9) :
7) Answer: D
After combining above statements we have:
R ≥ H > W = U = B > F = S; M > T < H > W = U < Q
From I: Q > T (T < H > W = U < Q) -> False
From II: R ≥ B (R ≥ H > W = U = B) -> False
From III: S < Q (S = F < B = U < Q) ->True
Hence, option D is correct choice.
8) Answer: C
After combining above statements we have:
D > H ≤ W < Z = Y; U > W ≥ H ≥ B > S ≤ F; D > H ≥ B = T < Q
From I: D > S (D > H ≥ B > S) -> True
From II: Y ≥ T (Y = Z > W ≥ H ≥ B = T) -> False
From III: T < U (T = B ≤ H ≤ W < U) -> True
Hence, option C is correct choice.
9) Answer: A
After combining above statements we have:
K = M < U = Q < F = R; E = G > M < U = Q > B
From I: E > B (E = G > M < U = Q > B) -> False
From II: K = R (K = M < U = Q < F = R) -> False
From III: R > F (K = M < U = Q < F = R) ->True
Hence, option A is correct choice.
