Logical Reasoning(IBPS CL) Puzzle Test

Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow:

Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H were born in different years viz. 1963, 1967, 1973, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1992, and 1999 but not necessarily in the same order. It is assumed that all of them were born on the same date of different years. All the age calculations are done taking the base year as 2020. H was born immediately before G. There is a gap of six years between the years in which C and D were born. D is younger than C. The sum of ages of E and F is 57. The age difference between A and B is four years. E is younger than H. A is older than B.

f there is an age gap of 26 years between B and J, where J is younger than B, then in which of the following year J was born?

Explanation:

Let’s break down the information step by step:

- Years given: 1963, 1967, 1973, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1992, 1999

- All calculations as if it’s 2020.

- H was born immediately before G ? H is one year older than G.

- Gap between C and D is 6 years. D is younger than C.

- E + F = 57 (Their ages add to 57).

- Age gap A and B is 4 years, A is older than B.

- E is younger than H.

- Given: B is born in Year X, J is 26 years younger ? B was born in X, J in X+26.

- Asked: In which year was J born?

Let’s analyze the options for J’s year of birth:

- Option 1: 1993

- Option 2: 1990

- Option 3: 1992

- Option 4: 1999

- Option 5: 1991

Eight years are: 1963, 1967, 1973, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1992, and 1999.

If J was born in 1993, which is not in the given list, so this is not a valid option since all people must be born in the given years.

Now, since the only possible years for the group are the ones given, and J is not part of the original eight, his age would be calculated based on possible calculation between B and J.

If B was, say, born in 1967, J would be 26 years younger, so J=1967+26=1993. But 1993 is not among the years given, so this much matches with option 1, but the list restricts the years to the given ones.

However, strictly based on the direct calculation:

- If B was born in 1967, J would be born in 1993 (i.e. 26 years later).

Therefore, the correct option is:

Option 1: 1993

Summary:

- The calculation asks only for the year J was born, 26 years after B.

- If B = 1967 ? J = 1993, matching Option 1.

- The list of eight is for the main people; J is an extra.

- So, Option 1 (1993) is correct.
