Six babies Ria, Sia, Tia, Urja, Vani and Winnie are born one after the other but not necessarily in the same order. All of them were born in different cities. Only two babies were born before the one who was born in Raipur. Only one baby was born between Sia, who was born in Delhi and the baby born in Raipur. Tia was born before Urja and just after the baby born in Haridwar. Tia was not born in Raipur. Ria was born in Bhopal and just before Vani. Tia is born immediately before the baby born in Ballia. Winnie was not born in Pune. Who was born just after Sia and in which city?
Tia, Pune
Vani, Raipur
Urja, Raipur
Ria, Bhopal
Ria, Bhopal
Map the fixed positions first (Raipur at 3rd, Delhi one away), then place contiguous blocks like (Ria-Vani) and (Haridwar-Tia-Ballia) to fill gaps.
Map the fixed positions first (Raipur at 3rd, Delhi one away), then place contiguous blocks like (Ria-Vani) and (Haridwar-Tia-Ballia) to fill gaps.
Establish the 6 positions
Let positions be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Rule 1: Two babies before Raipur means Raipur is 3rd. Rule 2: Sia (Delhi) is one baby away from Raipur; she could be 1st or 5th. Rule 3: Ria and Vani are consecutive (Ria-Vani). Rule 4: Haridwar-Tia-Ballia are a block of 3.
Fill the constraints
If Sia is 5th, then 1-2-3-4-5-6 = (Haridwar)-Tia-Raipur-Urja-Sia(Delhi)-Winnie. This forces (Ria-Vani) into 1-2 or 4-5, which is impossible due to Tia and Sia. If Sia is 1st, then positions 1(Sia-Delhi), 2(?), 3(Raipur), 4(Haridwar), 5(Tia), 6(Ballia). Remaining are Ria, Vani, Urja, Winnie. Ria and Vani must be 2 and 3? No, 3 is Raipur. The only fit is Ria-Vani as 5-6? No. Let's re-align: 1(Sia-Delhi), 2(Ria-Bhopal), 3(Vani-Raipur), 4(Haridwar), 5(Tia-Pune), 6(Urja-Ballia).
Final Verification
Sequence: 1. Sia (Delhi), 2. Ria (Bhopal), 3. Vani (Raipur), 4. Unknown (Haridwar), 5. Tia (Pune), 6. Urja (Ballia). Condition check: Ria is just before Vani. Tia is just after Haridwar baby. Tia before Urja. Winnie (must be 4th, Haridwar) is not in Pune (Tia is). The baby just after Sia is Ria in Bhopal.
A: Tia is in Pune, not after Sia. B: Vani is 3rd, not just after Sia (2nd). C: Urja is 6th, not after Sia. The logic clearly dictates Ria is 2nd, born in Bhopal.
D is correct because the sequence is 1-Sia(Delhi), 2-Ria(Bhopal), 3-Vani(Raipur), 4-Winnie(Haridwar), 5-Tia(Pune), 6-Urja(Ballia), making Ria the one born just after Sia.
When solving puzzles with multiple variables, always start by placing the absolute anchor (e.g., Raipur is 3rd) and then build linked blocks (e.g., Ria-Vani) around it.
