Why this answer is correct
Six Persons: A, B, C, D, M and O
-
C sits 3rd from one of the end.
-
The number of persons sitting to the right of the one who is 12 years old is same as the number of persons sitting to the left of D
-
D sits to the immediate left of C.
-
C is not 12 years old.
-
Two persons sit between D and B, whose age is twice than D.
B is 12 years old.
B's age = 2 × D's age
D will be 6 years old.
-
O sits 2nd to the right of the one who is 6 years old. The age of O is 18 years.
-
M sits to the right of A.
-
The one who is 36 years old sits 3rd to the left of the one who is 15 years old.
So, C is 36 years old and M is 15 years old.
- The age of A is sum of D and O. The age of O is 18 year.
A's age = D's age + O’s age
A = 18 + 6 = 24 years
A’s age is 24 years.
