IBPS PO Reasoning: Blood Relations and Age-based Puzzles questions with solutions

Q1. 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. D is 10 years older than the one who is four years younger than G. Ten years before, D was the same age as whom?

1. E
2. C
3. A
4. H

Answer: E

The year and age constraints uniquely determine the ages of all eight people. D's age comes out such that ten years earlier it matches E's age at that time. Therefore, ten years before D was the same age as E.
