Age: 5-13 years.

  1. H was sitting third to the right of D who was the youngest kid. D was facing the kid who was 8 years old. Neither D nor A were facing towards the south.

(So, D may be 5 or 6 years old.)

  1. A was 10 years old and he was sitting opposite to F who was an immediate neighbour of E.

  2. Age of E was a cube number.

(Only possible option is 8.)

  1. Age of F was not a square number.

  2. G and C were immediate neighbour and difference between their ages was 6.

  3. B was 13 years old and he was 6 years elder than the kid who was sitting his immediate right.

(So, H should be 7 years (= 13 - 6) old.)

  1. F was elder to C but younger to G.

(So, G > F > C.)

  1. Age of F was not a square number.

(So, age of G, F and C will be 12, 11 and 6 respectively.)

Hence, the sum of the age of B and F is 24 years.

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

Cannot be determined

Why this answer is correct

Kid: A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.

Age: 5-13 years.

  1. H was sitting third to the right of D who was the youngest kid. D was facing the kid who was 8 years old. Neither D nor A were facing towards the south.

(So, D may be 5 or 6 years old.)

  1. A was 10 years old and he was sitting opposite to F who was an immediate neighbour of E.

  2. Age of E was a cube number.

(Only possible option is 8.)

  1. Age of F was not a square number.

  2. G and C were immediate neighbour and difference between their ages was 6.

  3. B was 13 years old and he was 6 years elder than the kid who was sitting his immediate right.

(So, H should be 7 years (= 13 - 6) old.)

  1. F was elder to C but younger to G.

(So, G > F > C.)

  1. Age of F was not a square number.

(So, age of G, F and C will be 12, 11 and 6 respectively.)

Hence, the answer cannot be determined.
