IBPS PO General Awareness: Blood Relations and Age Puzzles questions with solutions

Q1. Study the given information carefully and answer the following question. Eight persons namely A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H were born in the same month of different years, i.e. 1969, 1972, 1978, 1981, 1989, 1997, 2000 and 2005. Their ages are considered as on the same month of 2016. G was born in an even-numbered year, but not in a year that is not divisible by 4. A is 36 years old now. B is 17 years older than F, who is 8 years younger than A. There is an eight-year gap between the ages of E and D. H is nine years younger than C, but not born in 2005. E was born earlier than G. Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and hence form a group. Which one of the following does not belong to that group?

1. 1969
2. 1978
3. 2005
4. 1981

Answer: 2005

This is an age-year arrangement puzzle. After matching ages to the given birth years, 2005 stands out as the only year that does not fit the common pattern formed by the other options. Hence it is the odd one out.
