When Rajesh says that "I don't know Ashu's date of birth. However I know that Evanthe also does not know it." This statement means that Rajesh is knowing the month which contains the numbers which are repeated in other months i.e. Rajesh contains the month which does not have any unique number as date. It means that Rajesh is not having months Feb and April as these months contains dates Feb 19 and April 21 which are unique. After this Evanthe is left with following dates May 12, May 14 June 12, June 13, June 17 and she says "I was not knowing it however now I know Ashu's birthday." Now with her statement she can not have number 12 otherwise she cannot be sure about the birthday which will be either May 12 or June 12. Now as she is sure to have found that date that means birthday can be now be in following dates May 14 June 13, June 17 After listening to Evanthe, Rajesh looks at the month he is having and says that "Then, I also know when Ashu's birthday is." It means that he is having the month which has now only one date left i.e. May 14, otherwise he cannot make the above statement. So the answer is May 14.
