4. 20^th March

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 19^th March

The logic followed here is,

P's first appointment to the job is after 17^th but before 20^th March.

Two date for between 17^th but before 20^th March → 18^th march and 19^th march.

And,

B remembers that P's first appointment to the job is after 18^th but before 22^nd March.

Three date between 18^th to 22^nd March → 19^th march, 20^th march and 21 march.

There are common date is 19^th March.

So, 19^th march is most likely to be P's first appointment to the job.

Hence, correct answer is 19^th march.
