Answers :
Directions (1-5):
Q sits third to the right of R and both are facing same direction.
We will take Case – 1 first.
There are only two persons sit between R and the one who born in 1981. P sits second to the right of the one who born in 1981. S sits second to the left of R and both are facing opposite direction to each other. S and the one who youngest in the group are sitting opposite to each other.The age of R is 26.
T is not an immediate neighbour of Q and there are two persons sit between T and S. There is one person sits between T and the one who born in 1994.
Because of the statement, The difference between the ages of T and P is half the age of W, who born after 1990. The age of W is definitely 20.So, the age of T and P must be 42 and 32 but not in the same order.
The one who born in 1985 and the one whose age is 20 are seated adjacent to each other. The immediate neighbours of W faces opposite direction to W.
Here Case – 1(b) will be dropped, because of the year 1985 is birth year of only either T or P.
The second eldest person in the group doesn’t face the centre of the table. V sits second to the right of the one who born in 1975, who is not an immediate neighbour of Q.
Case – 1(a) will be dropped because V sits second to the right of the one who born in 1975, who is not an immediate neighbour of Q.
We will take Case – 2 here.
There are only two persons sits between R and the one who born in 1981. P sits second to the right of the one who born in 1981. S sits second to the left of R and both are facing opposite direction to each other. S and the one who youngest in the group are sitting opposite to each other.The age of R is 26.
T is not an immediate neighbour of Q and there are two persons sits between T and S. There is one person sits between T and the one who born in 1994.
Because of the statement, The difference between the ages of T and P is half the age of W, who born after 1990. The age of W is definitely 20.So, the age of T and P must be 42 and 32 but not in the same order.
The one who born in 1985 and the one whose age is 20 are seated adjacent to each other.
Case – 2(b) will be dropped because of the year 1985 is birth year of only either T or P.
The immediate neighbours of W faces opposite direction to W.The second eldest person in the group doesn’t face the centre of the table. W is not the youngest or eldest among the group and faces opposite direction as U faces. V sits second to the right of the one who born in 1975, who is not an immediate neighbour of Q. The one whose age is prime number sits third to the left of V.
