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.
What is the age of the person who likes to visit Maldives?
Correct Answer :
7 years
Solution :
To find the age of the person who likes to visit Maldives, we can determine the birth years and ages of all individuals in the base year 2025.
Step 1: Calculate the ages of the six persons in 2025
Based on the birth years provided, we calculate their ages in the base year 2025 (Age = 2025 - Birth Year):
Step 2: Apply the clues to determine the positions and preferences
Let us arrange the information in descending order of age (eldest to youngest):
Clue A: "C is six years elder than the person who likes to visit Italy."
Looking at the differences in ages:
Clue B: "One person was born between the persons who likes to visit Italy and Maldives." and "U is immediately elder than the person who likes to visit Maldives."
Let's analyze Case 1 (C is 44, Italy is 38):
Clue C: "S is two persons elder than T" and "The one who likes to visit Spain is immediately younger than T."
This creates a consecutive sequence of 4 positions in descending order of age: S, [someone], T, [Spain].
Let's look at the available ages/slots for S, [someone], T, Spain in Case 1 where Maldives is 7, U is 32, C is 44, and Italy is 38:
Step 3: Verify the remaining clues
Therefore, the age of the person who likes to visit Maldives is 7 years.
