Six persons –C, P, Q, S, T and U– were born in different years among 1933, 1944, 1981, 1987, 1993 and 2018. The base year for calculating age is 2025. Each of them likes to visit a different place among Italy, Greece, Spain, Egypt, Maldives, and Japan (not necessarily in the same order).
C is six years elder than the person who likes to visit Italy. One person was born between the persons who likes to visit Italy and Maldives. U is immediately elder than the person who likes to visit Maldives. S is two persons elder than T. The one who likes to visit Spain is immediately younger than the T. C doesn’t like to visit Spain. The one who likes to visit Japan is two persons elder than the one who likes to visit Egypt. P doesn’t like to visit Greece and Maldives.
Which among the following statement is/are false?
I. U is elder than T.
II. C is 37 years elder than S.
III. S doesn’t like to visit Maldives.
Correct Answer :
Both I and II
Solution :
First, let us calculate the ages of all six individuals in the base year 2025 based on their birth years:
Let us arrange the birth years and ages in descending order (from eldest to youngest):
| Rank (Elder to Younger) | Birth Year | Age (in 2025) | Person | Place |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1933 | 92 | P | Japan |
| 2 | 1944 | 81 | S | Greece |
| 3 | 1981 | 44 | C | Egypt |
| 4 | 1987 | 38 | T | Italy |
| 5 | 1993 | 32 | U | Spain |
| 6 | 2018 | 7 | Q | Maldives |
Let's verify how this arrangement satisfies all given conditions:
Now, let us evaluate the statements:
Therefore, the false statements are Both I and II.
