(Here 2 cases are possible, Case1: K delivers his lecture on the 8th of April, Case2: K delivers his lecture on the 8th of June.
Case 1:
| Months | Dates | Person |
|---|
| January (31 days) | 8 | |
| 15 | | |
| April (30 days) | 8 | K |
| 15 | | |
| June (30 days) | 8 | |
| 15 | | |
| August (31 days) | 8 | L |

| 15 | | |

4) Number of persons who give the lecture after O is the same as the number of persons who give the lecture before P.

| 15 | | |

| 15 | M | |
| June (30 days) | 8 | |
| 15 | | |

Case 2:

|---|
| January (31 days) | 8 | L |
| 15 | O | |
| April (30 days) | 8 | |
| 15 | M | |
| June (30 days) | 8 | K |
| 15 | | |
| August (31 days) | 8 | P |
| 15 | | |
- Q and M give their lectures in the same month.
(From here Case 1 is eliminated because no vacant position for Q as according to statement 6 Q and M give their lecture in the same month)
| Months | Dates | Person |
|---|
| January (31 days) | 8 | L |
| 15 | O | |
| April (30 days) | 8 | Q |
| 15 | M | |
| June (30 days) | 8 | K |
| 15 | | |
| August (31 days) | 8 | P |
| 15 | | |
- N gives the lecture before R.
The final arrangement will be as follows:
| Months | Dates | Person |
|---|
| January (31 days) | 8 | L |
| 15 | O | |
| April (30 days) | 8 | Q |
| 15 | M | |
| June (30 days) | 8 | K |
| 15 | N | |
| August (31 days) | 8 | P |
| 15 | R | |
Hence, L doesn’t deliver the lecture in the month having 30 days.
