Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below: Ten persons Ajay, Anurag, Vijay, Dinesh, Diya, Chiru, Riya, Jyoti, Priyanka, and Vaibhav are going for vacations on two different dates i.e., 5th and 22nd of five months viz.

Explanation: From the given statements, Diya goes to Shimla on an odd date in the month which has 30 days. Here we get 2 possibilities i.e., Case 1 and Case 2. Two persons go on vacation in between Diya and Vaibhav who goes neither Pattaya nor Dehra doon. The number of persons goes on vacation before Vaibhav is the same as the number of persons goes on vacation after Riya. Anurag goes to Pattaya just before the Chiru in the same month. Only one person goes for vacation between Riya and Anurag. Here one more possibility added – Case 2a. Chiru does not go to Dehra doon. More than four persons go on vacation between Chiru and Vijay who goes to Maldives on Even date. Vijay goes for vacation before Diya. Here Case 2 is ruled out now. Jyoti does not go to Bangkok and Dehra doon. The number of persons go for vacation after Jyoti is the same as the number of persons go for vacation before Priyanka. Priyanka goes for vacation after Jyoti. Ajay is going for a vacation before of Dinesh but not just before Dinesh. From this condition Case, 2a is ruled out now. Neither Chiru nor Priyanka going for Bangkok. The person who goes Bangkok is going just before the one who goes to Dehra doon who does not go in the last. The one who goes for Haridwar is going just before the one who goes Phuket and just after the one who goes Coorg. Vaibhav is not going for Goa.
