No two persons have their birthdays on the same day of the same month. The following information is also known about them. R does not have birthday in May. Q wasn’t born in July.

T’s birthday is immediately after N’s. The number of persons who have their birthdays between the birthdays of S and T is equal to the number of persons who have their birthdays between the birthdays of N and P. If N’s birthday is on 23 rd May or on 23 rd January, then as shown in figure, the condition of the equal no. of birthdays between S and T, and N and P won’t be met.(refer to the below table)
