Five persons Jai, Zia, Devin, Richard, and Mark are going on vacation to different cities: Mongolia, Lisbon, Tokyo, Bennett, and Nagasaki. They were born in different years: 1968, 1971, 1987, 1997, and 2007, but not necessarily in the same order. - The person who went to Mongolia is half the age of the person who went to Lisbon. - Two persons are born between Devin and Mark. - Richard is born just before Zia. - The person who visited Tokyo was not born in the year 2007. - The person who went to Nagasaki has an age that is a multiple of five. - Mark is not the eldest person among the five persons. - Devin's age is not an even number. - Base year: 2023. Question: Which city did Zia visit for vacation?
- Tokyo
- Nagasaki
- Bennett
- Mongolia
Correct answer: Tokyo
Solution
From the age conditions and the base year 2023, the birth years correspond to ages 55, 52, 36, 26, and 16. Using the clues, Richard and Zia must occupy consecutive years, and the city-age constraints force Zia to be the person who visited Tokyo. Hence, Zia visited Tokyo.
