M’s age is half of K’s age. F is 36 years old. L’s age is a multiple of 10. What can be the sum of the ages of K and L?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 68 years.

1. Only H is older than K. Only three people are younger than L. M is older than only N.

H > K > _ > L > _ > M > N

2. M’s age is half of K’s age. F is 36 years old. L’s age is a multiple of 10. The second oldest is 38 years old.

H > K(38) > F(36) > L(30) > G > M(19) > N

The sum of the ages of K and L = 38 + 30 = 68 years
