• Two persons are visited between the one
who likes Black and W, who visits in one
of the month having an odd number of
days.
• W, who doesn’t like Pink, visits

Green.
That means, in case (1) W visited in July,
in case (2a) W visited in December, case

• The person whose age is 52 is taking class

three days after P.
• The person who is taking class immediately
before M is taking class either two days
before or two days after P.
• Neither P nor the person whose age is 52 is
taking a class on Thursday.

visited between B and the one who likes Blue is
one more than the number of persons visited
• The number of persons takes class after M is

the same as the number of persons takes

Directions (46-50):
• The difference between the ages of M and Q
46. Answer: C
is 6.
47. Answer: E
• The age of L is two less than half the age of
48. Answer: D
Q.
49. Answer: B
Here, in case 1 and case 2, Q’s age is either
50. Answer: C
46 or 58. If Q’s age is 46, then L’s age is 21
which is not possible as ages should be
between 22 and 66.
Thus, Q’s age is 58 and L’s age is 27.
In case 2a, Q’s age is 52 and L’s age is 24.

• P’s age is equal to the reverse of the digits of

the age of L, who takes class either first or
last.
In case 2, the reverse of the digits of L’s age
is 72, which is not possible. Thus case 2
eliminates.
In case 2a, the reverse of the digits of L’s
age is 42. Thus P’s age is 42.
One of them is 63 years old.
• Only one person is taking a class between

the person who is taking class immediately
before K and the person who is taking class
immediately before Q. This eliminates case
1.
• N’s age is 23. The number of persons
between K and N is the same as between P
and Q.
• N is taking a class after O, whose age is
twice the age of N.
In case 2 and case 2a, N’s age is 23 and O’s
age is 46.
Now in case 2a, M’s age is either 46 or 58,
but 46 is not possible thus M’s age is 58.
