Neel recalls that his school’s annual day is after 11th March but before 15th March. Tara recalls that it is after 13th March but before 18th March. If both are right, on which date of March is the annual day?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 14
Both recollections are true, so the date must be in both lists. “After” and “before” leave out the dates named.
Neel: after 11 and before 15, so 12, 13 or 14
Tara: after 13 and before 18, so 14, 15, 16 or 17
The only date in both lists is 14th March
