Direction: Read the given information and answer the following questions:
Nine persons Arnold, Barry, Charlie, Dove, Erwin, Frank, Gerald, Henry and John was born in different years on the same date in the month of June. Calculation is done from the base year of 2022. No person is younger than 5 years nor older than 75 years. Note: If it's given age of "A" is equal to the last two digit of the birth year of B then it can be the last digits or the reverse of last two digits.
Arnold was born in the year 1985. Age difference between Erwin and Frank is 12 years. Barry's age is equal to the last two digits of birth year of Arnold. Charlie's age is equal to the last two digits of birth year of Barry. Dove's age is equal to the last two digits of birth year of Charlie. Erwin's age is equal to the last two digits of birth year of Dove. Gerald's age is sum of the digits of birth year of Frank. John is 6 years younger than Gerald. Henry is 9 years younger than Gerald.
Erwin was born in which year?
1962
1960
1953
1967
1979
Let’s break it down clearly, step by step:
- Arnold was born in 1985.
? So his age in 2022 = 2022–1985 = 37
- Barry’s age is the last two digits of Arnold’s birth year = “85” or “58.”
? 85 isn’t possible (would be too old). So Barry is 58, so birth year = 2022–58 = 1964
- Charlie’s age is the last two digits of Barry’s birth year = “64” or “46.”
? 64 isn’t possible. So Charlie is 46, so birth year = 2022–46 = 1976
- Dove’s age is the last two digits of Charlie’s birth year = “76” or “67.”
? 76 isn’t possible. So Dove is 67, so birth year = 2022–67 = 1955
- Erwin’s age is the last two digits of Dove’s birth year = “55” or “55.”
? Only 55 possible. So Erwin is 55, so birth year = 2022–55 = 1967
- Frank’s age differs from Erwin’s by 12 years.
? Options: Frank is 55–12= 43 (birth year 2022–43 = 1979)
or Frank is 55+12= 67 (which repeats with Dove, so 43 is much cleaner.)
- Gerald’s age = sum of digits of Frank’s birth year (1979 ? 1+9+7+9= 26)
- John is 6 years younger than Gerald, so 20
- Henry is 9 years younger than Gerald, so 17
So, Erwin was born in 1967.
Now, looking back at your options:
1. 1962
2. 1960
3. 1953
4. 1967
5. 1979
The correct answer is Option 4: 1967
Every line above lines up with the rules in the original puzzle. Nothing left hanging.
