Question

Ms. X will be in Bagdogra from 01/05/2014 to 20/05/2014 and from 22/05/2014 to 31/05/2014. On the morning of 21/05/2014, she will reach Kochi via Mumbai. Which one of the statements below is logically valid and can be inferred from the above sentences?

Correct answer (B) Ms. X will be in Kochi for only one day in May. Solution Ms. X is in Bagdogra for two periods: May 1st to 20th (20 days) and May 22nd to 31st (10 days). This accounts for 30 days of May. On May 21st, she travels to Kochi. Since May has 31 days, and she is in Bagdogra for 30 of them, she is in Kochi for exactly one day (May 21st) during the month of May. Option (A) is incorrect because 'only in May' implies she won't be there in other months, which isn't stated. Option (C) is incorrect because she is also in Mumbai on that day. Option (D) is incorrect because it implies no one else is in Kochi, which isn't stated. Turn this into a strength. Explore AI-powered practice and doubt support with Success Tracker.
