Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
Six persons P, Q, R, S, T, U were born in six different years 1946, 1958, 1963, 1971, 1994, 2006. Note - Age is calculated with respect to 2019. The sum of the ages of S and P is 86. S was born in an even-numbered year. S is older than P. Q is older than S. T was born in an odd-numbered year. The sum of the ages of P and R is 81. U is younger than T. Which of the following is the birth year of P?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 1994.
Ages (in 2019)
1946 → 73, 1958 → 61, 1963 → 56, 1971 → 48, 1994 → 25, 2006 → 13
Now, S + P = 86
So, possible pairs:
- 73 + 13
- 61 + 25
Since S is older and born in an even year, take:
- S = 61 (1958), P = 25 (1994)
Now, P + R = 81 → 25 + 56 = 81 (R = 1963)
All other conditions also satisfy.
Thus, P was born in 1994.
