Logical Reasoning based Data Interpretation 3

In a multinational company RQR, no person joined or left the company from 1^st January 2007 to 31^st August 2008.

“E” is defined as the total duration (in months) for which an employee has stayed in the company.

The following table gives information about the number of employees and their values of “E” at five different dates between 1^st January 2007 and 31^st August 2008 (both inclusive).

Assume that the value of “E” for each of the employees is an integer and increases on the last day of every month.

	P()	Q()	R()	S()
1st January 2007	24	31	43	56
1st October 2007	28	23	59	48
1st December 2007	18	27	45	51
1st April 2008	17	37	51	67
31st August 2008	31	44	57	73
