Answer: (c)C.

3rd to the right

Why this answer is correct

  1. T is sitting 2nd to the left of P  whose age is an odd number.

 V sits 3rd to the right of T whose age is a prime number.

  1. V’s age is cubic number and sits beside Q

There are two persons between R and Q

3) W’s age is the second youngest among all. Hence, W’s age is 10.

The sum of the ages of W and T is 23. Hence, W is 23 So, 23-10 = 13

T’s age is 13.

R is to the immediate left of T.

Hence Case I eliminated

4) The sum of ages of R and V is 19.

Therefore the age of V is 8 and the age of R is 11.

The age of S is 12

S is not the immediate neighbour of T and Q

5) The person whose age 10 years is not a neighbour of T.

W’s age is 10. Therefore W is not a neighbour of T.

6) U’s age is the square number and sits beside the person whose age is a prime number.

The person whose age is multiple of 5 is sitting opposite to each other.

  1. The age of Q is less than the age of P.

T is sitting 2nd to the left of P whose age is an odd number. Q is sitting beside the one whose age is not a prime number. There are two persons between R and Q. The person whose age is multiple of 5 is sitting opposite to each other. V’s age is cubic number and sits immediate left of Q. S is not the immediate neighbour of T and Q. R is to the immediate left of T. The sum of ages of W and T is 23. V sits 3rd to the right of T whose age is a prime number. W’s age is the second youngest among all. U’s age is the square number and sits beside the person whose age is a prime number. The sum of the age of R and V is 19. The age of S is 12. The person whose age 10 years is not a neighbor of T.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

34

Why this answer is correct

  1. T is sitting 2nd to the left of P  whose age is an odd number.

 V sits 3rd to the right of T whose age is a prime number.

  1. V’s age is cubic number and sits beside Q

There are two persons between R and Q

3) W’s age is the second youngest among all. Hence, W’s age is 10.

The sum of the ages of W and T is 23. Hence, W is 23 So, 23-10 = 13

T’s age is 13.

R is to the immediate left of T.

Hence Case I eliminated

4) The sum of ages of R and V is 19.

Therefore the age of V is 8 and the age of R is 11.

The age of S is 12

S is not the immediate neighbour of T and Q

5) The person whose age 10 years is not a neighbour of T.

W’s age is 10. Therefore W is not a neighbour of T.

6) U’s age is the square number and sits beside the person whose age is a prime number.

The person whose age is multiple of 5 is sitting opposite to each other.

  1. The age of Q is less than the age of P.

Hence, the sum of the ages of P and R is 34 years.

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Three

Why this answer is correct

  1. T is sitting 2nd to the left of P  whose age is an odd number.

 V sits 3rd to the right of T whose age is a prime number.

  1. V’s age is cubic number and sits beside Q

There are two persons between R and Q

3) W’s age is the second youngest among all. Hence, W’s age is 10.

The sum of the ages of W and T is 23. Hence, W is 23 So, 23-10 = 13

T’s age is 13.

R is to the immediate left of T.

Hence Case I eliminated

4) The sum of ages of R and V is 19.

Therefore the age of V is 8 and the age of R is 11.

The age of S is 12

S is not the immediate neighbour of T and Q

5) The person whose age 10 years is not a neighbour of T.

W’s age is 10. Therefore W is not a neighbour of T.

6) U’s age is the square number and sits beside the person whose age is a prime number.

The person whose age is multiple of 5 is sitting opposite to each other.

  1. The age of Q is less than the age of P.

Hence, the correct answer is three.
