The question is given below consist of a question followed by three statements labeled as I, II and III. You have to decide whether these statements give enough information required to answer the question or not. Ten people P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X and Y were born on ten different dates 5, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, 18, 21, 23 and 27 of the same month but not necessarily in the same order. I. Q and T were born on an even numbered date. W was born on 7 and U was born after W. Only five people were born between R and T. Y was born on 23. P is the eldest person. II. V was born on 13 and T on 12. Neither S nor Q was born on 27. Only six people were born between P and X. and P is the eldest person. There are as many people between T and Q as between Q and R. III. P is the eldest and R is the youngest person. Only six people were born between W and Y. If the dates on which T and S were born are added, the resultant will give the date on which X was born. When was X born?
