But B remembered that C's birthday is after 13^th March but before 17^th March. Assuming both of them to be correct, on which date is C's birthday?
1. 16^th March
2. ​15^th March
3. ​14^th March
4. ​13^th March

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : ​14^th March

According to A, C's birthday is after 12^th March but before 15^th March.

According to A, C's birthday is either on 13^th or 14^th of March.

But B remembered that C's birthday is after 13^th March but before 17^th March.

According to B, C's birthday is either on 14^th or 15^th or 16^th of March.

Assuming both of them to be correct, the definite date of C’s birthday is 14^th of March.

Hence, ‘​14^th March’ is the correct answer.
