Question
Four of the following five are alike in a certain way
and hence form a group. Which one of the following that does not belong to the group? Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below. Eight persons P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are born in different years viz., 1977, 1967, 1963, 1974, 1985, 1989, 2000 and 1995 of the same date and same month. Their ages were calculated based on the year 2019. They all are like different fruits viz., Banana, Apple, Mango, Grapes, Papaya, Orange, Kiwi and Guava but not necessary in the same order. Q was born immediately before the one who likes Papaya. T was born immediately after the one who likes Guava. The difference between the ages of U and the one who likes Mango is 11 years. U is not elder than the one who likes Mango. T does not like Mango. V was born immediately after the one who likes Apple. As many persons born after V is same as the persons before the one who likes Grapes. The difference between the ages of V and the one who likes Banana is same as the difference between the ages of W and the one who likes Papaya. Only three persons was born between the one who likes Guava and R, whose age is in multiple of 5.As many persons born between Q and the one who likes Orange is same as between S and the one who likes Papaya. The age difference between S and V is not more than 10 years.Solution
Only three persons was born between the one who likes Guava and R, whose age is in multiple of 5. T was born immediately after the one who likes Guava. The difference between the ages of U and the one who likes Mango is 11 years. U is not elder than the one who likes Mango. T does not like Mango.
In case 1a, 1b, 2c the above conditions are not satisfied. Hence these are dropped. Q was born immediately before the one who likes Papaya.hence case 2a is splinted into 2ai) and 2a ii) because it has two possibilities. The difference between the ages of V and the one who likes Banana is same as the difference between the ages of W and the one who likes Papaya. So, Case-2a ii) and case 2b will be dropped.
As many persons born between Q and the one who likes Orange is same as between S and the one who likes Papaya. The age difference between S and V is not more than 10 years. So the final arrangement is,
