Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below.

Seven individuals — A, B, C, D, E, F, and G — were born on the same date and month across seven different years: 1955, 1962, 1971, 1980, 1992, 2003, and 2014. Calculate their ages taking 2024 as the base benchmark year.

B’s age is a two-digit even number less than 15. E is 11 years older than B. G is 11 years older than E. Exactly two persons were born between G and A. D is older than A. F is older than C.

Which of the following individuals was born in 1971?

The correct answer is F.

Step-by-step Explanation:

First, calculate the age of each individual in the base benchmark year 2024 based on their year of birth:
• 1955: 2024 - 1955 = 69 years
• 1962: 2024 - 1962 = 62 years
• 1971: 2024 - 1971 = 53 years
• 1980: 2024 - 1980 = 44 years
• 1992: 2024 - 1992 = 32 years
• 2003: 2024 - 2003 = 21 years
• 2014: 2024 - 2014 = 10 years

Now, let's analyze the given clues step-by-step:

1. Determine B's age and birth year:
B’s age is a two-digit even number less than 15. Among the calculated ages, the only two-digit even number less than 15 is 10.
Thus, B's age is 10 years, which means B was born in 2014.

2. Determine E's age and birth year:
E is 11 years older than B.
Age of E = 10 + 11 = 21 years.
The birth year corresponding to age 21 is 2003.

3. Determine G's age and birth year:
G is 11 years older than E.
Age of G = 21 + 11 = 32 years.
The birth year corresponding to age 32 is 1992.

4. Determine A's birth year:
Exactly two persons were born between G and A. Since G was born in 1992 (the 5^th year chronologically), counting two persons older than G leads to 1962 (the 2^nd year chronologically).
Thus, A was born in 1962 (age 62).

5. Determine D's birth year:
D is older than A. The only birth year older than 1962 is 1955.
Thus, D was born in 1955 (age 69).

6. Determine F's and C's birth years:
The remaining birth years are 1971 and 1980.
Since F is older than C, F must be born in the earlier year.
Therefore, F was born in 1971 and C was born in 1980.

Final Arrangement:
• 1955 (69 years): D
• 1962 (62 years): A
• 1971 (53 years): F
• 1980 (44 years): C
• 1992 (32 years): G
• 2003 (21 years): E
• 2014 (10 years): B

Hence, the individual born in 1971 is F.
