(e) None of these


Solution for 4th and 5th questions.


In terms of height we have : Gopal < Ashok, Kunal < Gopal, Navin <
Kunal,


Navin < Jayesh, Jayesh < Ashok.


So, the sequence becomes: Navin < Kunal < Gopal < Jayesh < Ashok.


Answer for 4th question is (b), Clearly, Ashok is tallest.


Answer for 5th question is (c), Clearly, statement C is not
necessary.


6.B is twice as old as A but twice younger than F.


C is half the age of A but twice the age of D.


Which two persons from the pair of oldest and youngest?


(a) F and A (b) F and D (c) B and F


(d) F and C (e) None of these


Answer is (b)


Let's A's age be x, then B's age is 2x. B is twice younger than F i,e
F


is twice older than B. So, F's age is 4x. C is half the age of A i,e
C's


age is x/2. C is twice the age of D i,e D is half the age of C i,e
D's


age is x/4. So, the descending order of ages is F, B, A, C, D.


Clearly, F is the oldest and is the youngest.
