Step 1. From the given conditions, E is the oldest person. F was born after 1978 but not born in 1995. Sum of present age of F and A is 81yr. So, there will be two possible cases case 1 and case 2 in which F is either born in 1982(then A is born in the year1971) or in 1999(then A is born in the year 1954).

Step 2. As it is given that, Difference of present ages of A and H is less than nine. B was born in odd number year after H, but not born in 1995.

In a class, among the passed students, Amisha is twenty-second from the top and Anuja, who is 5 ranks below Amisha, is thirty-fourth from the bottom. All the students from the class have appeared for the exam. If the ratio of the students who passed in the exam to those who failed is 4 : 1 in that class, how many students are there in the class?

Detailed Solution: Question 17

Amisha is 22nd from the top and Anuja is 5 ranks below Amisha. So, Anuja is 27th from the top. Also, Anuja is 34th from the bottom. So, Number of students passed = (26 + 1 + 33) = 60; Let the number of students passed and the number failed be 4x and x respectively. Then, 4x = 60 or x = 15. Hence, number of students in the class = (60 + 15) = 75.
