Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

60

Why this answer is correct

The number of people who prefer to listen only 'Jazz' = 6 × 35 - 5 = 205

Let the total number of people who prefer to listen only 'Jazz' = 41x

ATQ, 41x = 205

⇒ x = 5

The total number of people who prefer to listen only 'folk' = 56x = 280

The total number of people who prefer to listen only 'Rock' = 79x = 395

Let the total number of people who prefer to listen all three genres = 4y

The number of people who prefer to listen both 'Folk' and 'Jazz' but not 'Rock' = 75% × 4y = 3y

The number of people who prefer to listen both 'Rock' and 'Jazz' but not 'Folk' = 50

The number of people who prefer to listen both 'Folk' and 'Rock' but not 'Jazz' = 35

The total number of people who prefer to listen exactly two type of 'music' genres = 130

ATQ, 3y + 50 + 35 = 130 ⇒ y = 15

The total number of people who prefer to listen all three genres = 4y = 60

The number of people who prefer to listen both 'Folk' and 'Jazz' but not 'Rock' = 3y = 45

The number of people who prefer to listen 'Folk' = 280 + 35 + 60 + 45 = 420

The number of people who prefer to listen 'Rock' = 395 + 35 + 60 + 50 = 540

The number of people who prefer to listen 'Jazz' = 205 + 45 + 60 + 50 = 360

The number of people who prefer to listen all three types of 'music' genres = 60

Hence, the correct answer is 60.

Why this answer is correct

The number of people who prefer to listen only 'Jazz' = 6 × 35 - 5 = 205

Let the total number of people who prefer to listen only 'Jazz' = 41x

ATQ, 41x = 205

⇒ x = 5

The total number of people who prefer to listen only 'folk' = 56x = 280

The total number of people who prefer to listen only 'Rock' = 79x = 395

Let the total number of people who prefer to listen all three genres = 4y

The number of people who prefer to listen both 'Folk' and 'Jazz' but not 'Rock' = 75% × 4y = 3y

The number of people who prefer to listen both 'Rock' and 'Jazz' but not 'Folk' = 50

⇒ y = 15

The total number of people who prefer to listen all three genres = 4y = 60

The number of people who prefer to listen both 'Folk' and 'Jazz' but not 'Rock' = 3y = 45

The number of people who prefer to listen 'Folk' = 280 + 35 + 60 + 45 = 420

The number of people who prefer to listen 'Rock' = 395 + 35 + 60 + 50 = 540

The number of people who prefer to listen 'Jazz' = 205 + 45 + 60 + 50 = 360

The number of people who prefer to listen exactly one type of 'music' genre = 280 + 395 + 205 = 880

The number of people who prefer to listen exactly two types of 'music' genres = 50 + 35 + 45 = 130

Required difference = 880 - 130 = 750

Hence, the correct answer is 750.

Why this answer is correct

Given that:

There are seven persons, who were born in different years - 1961, 1968, 1972, 1988, 1993, 1999, and 2013. All the age calculations are done taking the base year as 2020.

So, their ages are:

196159
196852
197248
198832
199327
199921

1) D was born in a leap year but not in the year 1988.

So, here there are 3 leap years - 1968, 1972 and 1988 (all are divisible by 4)

So, 2 cases will generate D can born either in 1968 or 1972:

YearAgePersons

2) Only three persons were born between D and F.

  1. C is the eldest person among them all.

So, C was born in 1961:

5) B was born in an odd-numbered year but not in 1993 nor he was the last one to be born.

Here, B was born in 1999, neither in 1993 nor in 2013 (at last).

  1. The sum of the ages of A and F is a multiple of 13.

Here, age is 32 + 7 = 39 (39 is a multiple of 13).

So in there 2 statements Case I will be eliminate:

Here we have case II:

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

None

Why this answer is correct

Given that:

There are seven persons, who were born in different years - 1961, 1968, 1972, 1988, 1993, 1999, and 2013. All the age calculations are done taking the base year as 2020.

So, their ages are:

196159
196852
197248
198832
199327
199921
201307

 

1) D was born in a leap year but not in the year 1988.

So, here there are 3 leap years - 1968, 1972 and 1988 (all are divisible by 4)

So, 2 cases will generate D can born either in 1968 or 1972:

2) Only three persons were born between D and F. 

  1. C is the eldest person among them all.

So, C was born in 1961:

YearAgePersons

196852D
197248D
198832
199327

4) The difference between the ages of G and D is 4 years.

 

YearAgePersons

196852DG
197248GD

201307F

 

5) B was born in an odd-numbered year but not in 1993 nor he was the last one to be born.

Here, B was born in 1999, neither in 1993 nor in 2013 (at last).

  1. The sum of the ages of A and F is a multiple of 13.

Here, age is 32 + 7 = 39 (39 is a multiple of 13).

So in there 2 statements Case I will be eliminate:

Here we have case II:

YearAgePersons
196159C
196852G
197248D
198832A

No one is born between G and D, so none.

Directions: Read the following instructions carefully to answer the given questions that follow:

There are seven persons (A - G), who were born in different years - 1961, 1968, 1972, 1988, 1993, 1999, and 2013. All the age calculations are done taking the base year as 2020.

D was born in a leap year but not in the year 1988. Only three persons were born between D and F. C is the eldest person among them all. The sum of the ages of A and F is a multiple of 13. B was born in an odd-numbered year but not in 1993 nor he was the last one to be born. The difference between the ages of G and D is 4 years.

Four of the five are alike in a certain way thus form a group. Which one does not belong to that group?

Answer: (b)B.

G

Why this answer is correct

Given that:

There are seven persons, who were born in different years - 1961, 1968, 1972, 1988, 1993, 1999, and 2013. All the age calculations are done taking the base year as 2020.

So, their ages are:

YearAgePersons
Case ICase II
196159
196852
197248
198832
199327
199921
201307

 

1) D was born in a leap year but not in the year 1988.

So, here there are 3 leap years - 1968, 1972 and 1988 (all are divisible by 4)

So, 2 cases will generate D can born either in 1968 or 1972:

YearAgePersons
Case ICase II
196159
196852D
197248D
198832
199327
199921
201307

 

2) Only three persons were born between D and F. 

  1. C is the eldest person among them all.

So, C was born in 1961:

YearAgePersons
Case ICase II
196159CC
196852D
197248D
198832
199327
199921F
201307F

 

4) The difference between the ages of G and D is 4 years.

 

YearAgePersons
Case ICase II
196159CC
196852DG
197248GD
198832
199327
199921F
201307F

 

5) B was born in an odd-numbered year but not in 1993 nor he was the last one to be born.

Here, B was born in 1999, neither in 1993 nor in 2013 (at last).

  1. The sum of the ages of A and F is a multiple of 13.

Here, age is 32 + 7 = 39 (39 is a multiple of 13).

So in there 2 statements Case I will be eliminate:

Here we have case II:

YearAgePersons
196159C
196852G
197248D
198832A
199327E
199921B
201307F

 

G does not belong to the group as G was born in the even - numbered years.
