Solving the Holiday Schedule Logic Puzzle

This problem requires us to determine the exact month each person goes on holiday based on a set of clues. We need to find out who travels in the month of March.

Understanding the Months and Days

Let's list the months and the number of days they have:

• January: 31 days (Odd)
• February: 28 or 29 days (Even)
• March: 31 days (Odd)
• April: 30 days (Even)
• May: 31 days (Odd)
• June: 30 days (Even)
• July: 31 days (Odd)
• August: 31 days (Odd)

Step-by-Step Deduction

1. Assign Harry: The first clue states that Harry goes in August.
   • August: Harry
2. Analyze Sona and Geet's Months:
   • Sona goes in a month with an odd number of days (Jan, Mar, May, July, Aug).
   • Geet goes just after Sona.
   • Harry is in August, so Sona cannot be in July (Geet would be in August).
   • Consider the months with even days: April (30) and June (30). Clue 5 says Runa goes in an even month (not Feb). Clue 6 says Ram does not go in odd months and not in Feb, meaning Ram also goes in an even month (Apr or June). Thus, April and June are occupied by Runa and Ram.
   • Since April and June are occupied, Sona cannot be in March (Geet would be in April) or May (Geet would be in June).
   • Therefore, Sona must go in January, and consequently, Geet goes in February (just after January).
   • January: Sona
   • February: Geet
   • August: Harry
3. Place Monu:
   • There are three persons (months) between Monu and Sona.
   • Sona is in January. The months following January are February, March, April, May, etc.
   • To have three months between January and Monu's month, Monu must be in May (February, March, April are the three months in between).
   • January: Sona
   • February: Geet
   • March: ?
   • April: Runa/Ram
   • May: Monu
   • June: Runa/Ram
   • July: ?
   • August: Harry
4. Place Runa and Ram:
   • As deduced earlier, Runa and Ram are in the even months of April and June.
   • Ram does not go in odd months and not in February. So Ram is in April or June.
5. Place Kim and Ram using the Gap:
   • Two persons go between Kim and Ram.
   • Let's test the possibilities for Ram (April or June):
     • If Ram is in April: Kim could be in July (May, June are between).
     • If Ram is in June: Kim could be in March (April, May are between).
6. Use the Paro Clue:
   • Paro does not go after Kim (Paro's month comes before or is the same as Kim's month).
   • The remaining persons are Paro and Kim. The remaining months are March and July.
   • Scenario 1: If Ram is in April and Kim is in July. Then Paro must be in March. Does this fit "Paro not after Kim"? Yes, March is before July. This works. (Ram=Apr, Runa=Jun, Kim=Jul, Paro=Mar).
   • Scenario 2: If Ram is in June and Kim is in March. Then Paro must be in July. Does this fit "Paro not after Kim"? No, July is after March. This scenario fails.
   • Therefore, Scenario 1 is the correct arrangement. Ram is in April, Runa is in June, Kim is in July, and Paro is in March.

Final Holiday Schedule

Based on the deductions, the complete schedule is:

Conclusion

The person who goes on holiday in the month of March is Paro.
