Question:In which year was Sanjay born?Statements:I. Sanjay is six yea...
Statement I: Sanjay is six years older than Gopal.
Statement II: Gopal's brother was born in 1982.
Statement III: Sanjay's brother is two years younger than Gopal's brother, who was eight years younger than Gopal.
To determine the year of Sanjay's birth, we need to analyze the given statements.
Analysis:
From Statement I:
Sanjay is six years older than Gopal. However, we don't have any specific information about their birth years or any reference year to calculate their ages. So, this statement alone is insufficient to determine the year of Sanjay's birth.
From Statement II:
Gopal's brother was born in 1982. This statement provides a specific year related to Gopal's brother's birth, but it doesn't give us any direct information about Sanjay or their age difference. So, this statement alone is insufficient to determine the year of Sanjay's birth.
From Statement III:
Sanjay's brother is two years younger than Gopal's brother, who was eight years younger than Gopal. This statement provides information about the age difference between Sanjay's brother, Gopal's brother, and Gopal. However, we still don't have any direct information about their birth years or any reference year to calculate their ages. So, this statement alone is also insufficient to determine the year of Sanjay's birth.
Combining the Statements:
By combining all three statements, we can gather some information. Let's assume that Gopal's brother was born in 1982. According to Statement III, Sanjay's brother is two years younger than Gopal's brother, so Sanjay's brother was born in 1984. Also, according to Statement III, Gopal's brother is eight years younger than Gopal. Therefore, Gopal was born in 1974.
Using the information from Statement I, we know that Sanjay is six years older than Gopal. So, if Gopal was born in 1974, Sanjay was born in 1968.
Therefore, by combining all three statements, we can determine that Sanjay was born in 1968.
Hence, the correct answer is option D) All I, II, and III.
