The one who likes Dehradun was born two months after H, who likes Mysore. The number of persons born after the one who likes Dehradun is one more than the number of persons born before A. That means, in case (1), case (2b) & case (3) A was born on 13th January, in case (2a) A was born on 4th January. D neither likes Shimla nor was born on the 13th of the month. The number of persons was born between D and the one who likes Nainital is one less than the number of persons between B and the one who likes Mysore.
