Eight people A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H were born on the same date but in different years, viz. 1972, 1980, 1958, 1960, 1968, 1988, 1999, and 1962. (Calculate all ages with respect to the year 2019.) G was born eight years after B. A was born in an even-numbered year. Only one person was born in an odd-numbered year whose age is a multiple of 2. H is the youngest among all. C is not younger than A. The difference between the age of B and the person who was born in the year 1958 is 2 years. B is not older than F, whose age is 61. The age difference between D and E is 10 years older than the one who is four years younger than G. What is the sum of the ages of persons born between the ages of 35 and 60?
- 304
- 320
- 253
- 299
Correct answer: 253
Solution
Using 2019 ages, the years correspond to ages 47, 39, 61, 59, 51, 31, 20, and 57. Applying the clues fixes the assignments uniquely, and the ages strictly between 35 and 60 sum to 253. This is a standard year-age arrangement puzzle.
