Solution:
Directions (11-15): Study the following information carefully and answer the question given below:
In a three generation of a family, there are eight members i.e. D, E, F, G, H, I , J and K who were born on the same day of the same month of different year i.e. 1988, 1973, 1986, 1980, 1989, 1990, 2009, and 1984 but not necessarily in the same order.
Note: Their age are considered as on the same month and day of 2017 as their date of births.
J is four years younger than E. There is no grandmother in the family. The difference between the ages of G and F is a perfect square. G is the grandfather and oldest person of this family. The addition of I’s age and J’s age is a perfect square and perfect cube. E’s age is not less than 30 years. D’s age is a perfect cube but less than 30. F is one year older than K.
Q11. Who is 29 years old?
I
D
F
H
J
Solution:
G is the grandfather and oldest person of this family. That means G would be very old person in this family and he was born in 1973.
Now we can see that there is one condition regarding G and F, that the difference between the ages of G and F is a perfect square. If F was born in 1989 then, difference would be 16 that is a perfect square and if F was born in 2009 then difference would be 36, that is also a perfect square. But it is given in last line that F is one year older than K. But if we consider F was born in 2009, this Condition will not follow, So F’s year of born will be 1989.
Now, there is a condition that F is one year older than K. that means K was born in 1990. And D’s age is a perfect cube but less than 30 that means we have to find out the real age of all person according to given years. From this we can see that D’s age is 8 years.
Now according to given condition, the addition of I’s age and J’s age is a perfect square and perfect cube. So remaining age is 37 years, 29 years, 33 years and 31 years. In this ages addition we can see that after the addition of 33 years and 31st years, we get 64 years that is a perfect squares and perfect cube. That means I and J was born in 1984 and 1986.
Now, E’s age is not less than 30 years. That means E’s age is 37 years. Means E was born in 1980. There is one more condition, that J is four years younger than E. If E was born in 1980, that means J was born in 1984.
Now at last only one person is left. So,
Q12. Who among the following was born in 1984?
K
I
G
H
J
Solution:
G is the grandfather and oldest person of this family. That means G would be very old person in this family and he was born in 1973.
Now we can see that there is one condition regarding G and F, that the difference between the ages of G and F is a perfect square. If F was born in 1989 then, difference would be 16 that is a perfect square and if F was born in 2009 then difference would be 36, that is also a perfect square. But it is given in last line that F is one year older than K. But if we consider F was born in 2009, this Condition will not follow, So F’s year of born will be 1989.
Now, there is a condition that F is one year older than K. that means K was born in 1990. And D’s age is a perfect cube but less than 30 that means we have to find out the real age of all person according to given years. From this we can see that D’s age is 8 years.
Now according to given condition, the addition of I’s age and J’s age is a perfect square and perfect cube. So remaining age is 37 years, 29 years, 33 years and 31 years. In this ages addition we can see that after the addition of 33 years and 31st years, we get 64 years that is a perfect squares and perfect cube. That means I and J was born in 1984 and 1986.
Now, E’s age is not less than 30 years. That means E’s age is 37 years. Means E was born in 1980. There is one more condition, that J is four years younger than E. If E was born in 1980, that means J was born in 1984.
Now at last only one person is left. So,
Q13. How is H related to I?
H is 6 years younger than I
H is 7 years older than I
H is 5 years older than I
H is 2 years younger than I
H is 4 years younger than I
Solution:
G is the grandfather and oldest person of this family. That means G would be very old person in this family and he was born in 1973.
Now we can see that there is one condition regarding G and F, that the difference between the ages of G and F is a perfect square. If F was born in 1989 then, difference would be 16 that is a perfect square and if F was born in 2009 then difference would be 36, that is also a perfect square. But it is given in last line that F is one year older than K. But if we consider F was born in 2009, this Condition will not follow, So F’s year of born will be 1989.
Now, there is a condition that F is one year older than K. that means K was born in 1990. And D’s age is a perfect cube but less than 30 that means we have to find out the real age of all person according to given years. From this we can see that D’s age is 8 years.
Now according to given condition, the addition of I’s age and J’s age is a perfect square and perfect cube. So remaining age is 37 years, 29 years, 33 years and 31 years. In this ages addition we can see that after the addition of 33 years and 31st years, we get 64 years that is a perfect squares and perfect cube. That means I and J was born in 1984 and 1986.
Now, E’s age is not less than 30 years. That means E’s age is 37 years. Means E was born in 1980. There is one more condition, that J is four years younger than E. If E was born in 1980, that means J was born in 1984.
Now at last only one person is left. So,
Q14. Which of the following is correct?
I was born in 1984
K is 29 years old
D was born in 1994
E is 37 years old
None of these
Solution:
G is the grandfather and oldest person of this family. That means G would be very old person in this family and he was born in 1973.
Now we can see that there is one condition regarding G and F, that the difference between the ages of G and F is a perfect square. If F was born in 1989 then, difference would be 16 that is a perfect square and if F was born in 2009 then difference would be 36, that is also a perfect square. But it is given in last line that F is one year older than K. But if we consider F was born in 2009, this Condition will not follow, So F’s year of born will be 1989.
Now, there is a condition that F is one year older than K. that means K was born in 1990. And D’s age is a perfect cube but less than 30 that means we have to find out the real age of all person according to given years. From this we can see that D’s age is 8 years.
Now according to given condition, the addition of I’s age and J’s age is a perfect square and perfect cube. So remaining age is 37 years, 29 years, 33 years and 31 years. In this ages addition we can see that after the addition of 33 years and 31st years, we get 64 years that is a perfect squares and perfect cube. That means I and J was born in 1984 and 1986.
Now, E’s age is not less than 30 years. That means E’s age is 37 years. Means E was born in 1980. There is one more condition, that J is four years younger than E. If E was born in 1980, that means J was born in 1984.
Now at last only one person is left. So,
Q15. How many members were born between the years in which F and H born?
Five
One
Three
None
None of these
Solution:
G is the grandfather and oldest person of this family. That means G would be very old person in this family and he was born in 1973.
Now we can see that there is one condition regarding G and F, that the difference between the ages of G and F is a perfect square. If F was born in 1989 then, difference would be 16 that is a perfect square and if F was born in 2009 then difference would be 36, that is also a perfect square. But it is given in last line that F is one year older than K. But if we consider F was born in 2009, this Condition will not follow, So F’s year of born will be 1989.
Now, there is a condition that F is one year older than K. that means K was born in 1990. And D’s age is a perfect cube but less than 30 that means we have to find out the real age of all person according to given years. From this we can see that D’s age is 8 years.
Now according to given condition, the addition of I’s age and J’s age is a perfect square and perfect cube. So remaining age is 37 years, 29 years, 33 years and 31 years. In this ages addition we can see that after the addition of 33 years and 31st years, we get 64 years that is a perfect squares and perfect cube. That means I and J was born in 1984 and 1986.
Now, E’s age is not less than 30 years. That means E’s age is 37 years. Means E was born in 1980. There is one more condition, that J is four years younger than E. If E was born in 1980, that means J was born in 1984.
