Solution

To answer this question, we need to analyze the given information and make deductions accordingly.

  1. A and E do not watch the movies screened at 1 PM to 3 PM and 11 AM to 1 PM respectively. This means A and E watched movies in either the 9 AM to 11 AM slot or the 3 PM to 5 PM slot.

  2. A did not watch Pilgrim whereas G did not watch Quota. This doesn't give us any information about the time slots.

  3. Scream was watched by three people but not by H whereas E watched Ratatouille. This means E did not watch Scream, and since E can only watch movies in the 9 AM to 11 AM slot or the 3 PM to 5 PM slot, Scream must have been screened in the 1 PM to 3 PM slot or the 11 AM to 1 PM slot. Since three people watched Scream, and A and E did not watch the movie screened at 1 PM to 3 PM, Scream must have been screened at 11 AM to 1 PM.

  4. A was the third person to reach the cinema hall, and E arrived in the cinema hall after A. This means A and E did not watch the movie screened at 9 AM to 11 AM, so they must have watched the movie screened at 3 PM to 5 PM.

  5. B and D were the sixth and last to reach the cinema hall respectively. This means B and D did not watch the movies screened at 9 AM to 11 AM or 11 AM to 1 PM, so they must have watched the movies screened at 1 PM to 3 PM or 3 PM to 5 PM.

From this analysis, we can definitely know the slots that A, E, B, and D watched movies in. So, the answer is 4 people.
