Answers:

Directions (1 – 3):

1) Answer: d)

2) Answer: c)

3) Answer: d)

Directions (4-7):

Note: None of the person born before 1962.

• If it mentions the person age is considered as last two digits of the person Birth year, then it will be at any sequence. For example, X age is considered as last two digit of Y birth year-1936, and then X age is either 36 or 63.
• F was born on 1968.
• The difference between the age of F and B was Five years. So B can be born in either 1973 or 1963. So we have two possible cases.

• C’s age is two less than last two digit of Birth year of B. Here mention that C’s age is equal to the last two digits of B’s birth year. In both the cases if we take last two digit of B’s birth year in given sequence,then we get C born before 1962. So if we take reverse of last two digits of B’s birth year then it satisfies the given conditions. So C was born on 1983 in Case1 and 1984 in case 2.

• B’s age is one less than the sum of E’s and C’s age. We know that ages of B and C from that we can conclude the age of E as 11 and 22 in case 1 and case 2 respectively.
• A is three year elder than C. Hence the age of A is 38 and 37 in case 1 and case 2 respectively.
• H’s age is last two digit of A’s birth year. It may be 80 or 8 years in case 1 and 18 or 81 in Case 2. But from the note given above H’s age is fixing as 8 and 18 for case 1 and case 2.

• G is four year younger than H. From this G is 4 year old in case 1 and 14 years old Case 2.
• D is born Four year after G. Hence D is born on 2008 in case 2. But in Case 1 we cannot conclude the birth year of D. Hence Case 1 is eliminated.

4) Answer: c)

5) Answer: e)

6) Answer: d)

7) Answer: b)

Directions (8-10):

8) Answer: b)

$# – 5.45pm

• It takes 45 minutes travel to reach HR office from central bus stand. So, 5.45- 45 minutes = 5.00pm
• The person takes 25 minutes to reach bus stand from his House.
• So, 5pm -25minutes = 4.35miutes = &*

9) Answer: a)

• She starts walking from point A at %@ = 2.40 minutes
• Suji walk at 10km speed per hour and covers a distance of 45km to reach point B. It means she takes 4hours 30 minutes to reach the point B.
• So, 2.40pm + 4hrs,30minutes = 7.10pm which is *%

10) Answer: c)

• Saranya start a task at %$and complete the task at &#.
• It means Saranya start a task at 2.25 minutes and completes her task at 4.45 minutes.
• Shankar takes 25 minutes more than others to complete a task. So, The time taken by Shankar to complete a task = 4.45minutes + 25 minutes = 5.10pm = $%
