Points to remember:
- Five Friends: Anuj, Beena, Chirag, Devesh, and Eeshan
- Birthday Months: June, July, August, September, and December
- Favorite Items: Cake, Chocolate, Pastry, Ice-cream, and Pancakes.
- Who likes Pancakes is born in August.
- Chirag does not like pancakes
- Chirag brings Cake for Devesh in September.
- Eeshan is fond of Ice-cream.
- Eeshan is born in the next month immediately after Beena.
- Beena does not like Ice-cream or Chocolate.
Explanation:
Devesh's birthday is in September and he likes Cake (from point 6)
Eeshan likes Ice-Cream (from point 7)
Person left: Anuj, Beena, and Chirag
Items left: Chocolate, Pastry, and Pancakes
The person who likes Pancakes is born in August (from point 4)
Beena can not be born in August, as Eeshan is born next to Beena (from point 8) similarly, Beena can not be born in October for the same reason.
Also, Beena can not be born in July as Eeshan can not be born in August because he likes Ice-Cream, and a person who is born in August likes Pancakes.
Hence,
Beena is born in June and Eeshan is born in July.
Now,
Beena likes Pastry, as she do not like Chocolate and she is not born in August so she can not like Pancakes either.
Person left: Anuj and Chirag
Items left: Chocolate and Pancakes
Now as Chirag does not like Pancakes (from point 5) so he must like Chocolate and Anuj must like Chocolate.
Hence from the above deduction, we can say that,
- Beena is born in June and likes pastry.
- Eeshan is born in July and likes Ice-Cream.
- Anuj is born in August and likes Pancakes.
- Devesh is born in September and likes Cake
- And, Chirag is born in October and likes Chocolate.
