Correct answer
89
Why this answer is correct
There are 6 persons A, B, C, D, E, and F are sitting around a circular table.
All the persons are married and there is an equal number of husbands and wives in the group.
They are of different ages viz. 36, 51, 48, 33, 41, and 28 but not necessarily in the same order.
1. The youngest person sits to the immediate right of the oldest person.
The age of the youngest person is 28 and the age of the oldest person is 51.
- D is married to F, who is the oldest person.
(The age of husband is greater than the age of wife)
So, F is the husband of D.
- Only two persons sit between A, the female person and the person whose age is 41.
- A is not the youngest person.
(No two even/odd aged persons are sitting together)
- B, an even-aged person is sitting second to the left of a person whose age is 48.
The following are the possibilities we get,
- C, whose age lies between 30 and 40 is sitting second to the right of A’s husband.
The possible age of C is 33 or 36.
As no two even/odd aged persons are sitting together. So, the age of C is 33.
Filling the missing data,
In case I:
As D is married to F, A’s husband will be E and is sitting opposite A.
In case II:
As D is married to F, A’s husband will be E and is sitting opposite A.
No couple sits together is violated. So, Case II is eliminated.
The final arrangement is,
| Couples | |
|---|---|
| Husband (Age) | Wife (Age) |
| F (51) | D (48) |
| C (33) | B (28) |
| E (41) | A (36) |
Hence, the sum of the ages of A’s husband and F’s wife is 89.
