Directions (28-32): Read the following information carefully and answer the given questions. Six persons: A, B, C, D, E, and F were born on different dates in March 2000, falling between the 20th and 28th, but not necessarily in the same order. There are three vacant dates, and these are not consecutive. A was born on an odd-numbered date. B was born on the 25th, but not before C. Three persons were born between A and F. F was born just next date of E. There are two vacant dates between C and F. D was born on an even-numbered date, and was born neither just before E nor just after A. Who among them was born on 22nd March?

Explanation

### Concept & Logic This requires a direct lookup from the complete chronological arrangement deduced from the initial puzzle clues. ### Step-by-Step Solution * **Recall the Master Arrangement:** We successfully deduced the following timeline for the 9 available slots: * 20th: D * 21st: A * **22nd: Vacant** * 23rd: C * 24th: Vacant * 25th: B * 26th: Vacant * 27th: E * 28th: F * **Locate the Target Date:** The question specifically asks for the entity assigned to the 22nd of March. * **Identify the Occupant:** Looking at our table, the 22nd is designated as a "Vacant" date. * **Conclusion:** Because it is a vacant date, zero persons from the group (A, B, C, D, E, F) were born on this specific day. ### Exam Strategy & Shortcut If a puzzle involves "vacant" or "empty" positions, always keep a mental or physical check mark for where those empty slots landed. Questions like this are designed as quick "free points" once the hard work of building the table is done. ### Common Pitfall Second-guessing a solid derivation just because an answer is "None" or "No one". If your logic holding the rest of the table together is sound, trust the empty slots. ### Final Answer Based on the logical deduction of the timeline, the 22nd of March is one of the three vacant dates. Therefore, the correct answer is **No one**.
