Direction: Study the following information carefully and answer the given question


Eight people- A, B, C, D, E, F, G & H are born in different years 1978, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1985, 1988, 1990 and 1991(not necessarily in the same order). Their age is counted on same day, same month of 2016. They have different profession viz. Teacher, Clerk, CA, Lawyer, Retailer & Manager. Two of the people are teacher and one of the people is unemployed. 

C is the Retailer and C was born after 1982. The Retailer and the Manager was born on odd-numbered year. The Clerk is the oldest among them and one of the Teachers is the youngest among them. The sum of the current age of the Clerk and the CA is 72. The Unemployed one is 8 years younger to one of the Teachers. B is 9 years younger to E. E is neither CA nor Lawyer. A is 3 years older to E. H is 6 years younger to the CA. D is not a teacher.

Solution :

E, the manager was born on 1981
From the above information
i. Eight people A, B, C, D, E, F, G & H were born on eight different years 1978, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1985, 1988, 1990 & 1991, their age is counted on same day, same month of 2016.
ii. Profession of the people is Clerk, Lawyer, Manager, CA, Teacher & Retailer. Two of them are teachers and one of them is unemployed.
iii. The clerk is the oldest among them and one of the teacher is youngest among them i.e. the Clerk was born on 1978 and one of the teachers was born on 1991
iv. The retailer and the manager was born on odd-numbered year i.e. they either born on 1981 or 1985 ( one teacher was born on 1991 from step iii)
v. C is the retailer and he was born after 1982 i.e. C, the Retailer was born on 1985 and the Manager was born on 1981
vi. The sum of current age of the Clerk and the CA is 72 i.e. current age of Clerk is 2016-1978= 38 years, so current age of CA is 72-38=34 years i.e. the CA was born on 1982
vii. From above arrangement, one teacher, the lawyer and the unemployed one was born on 1980 or 1988 or 1990. But from the given information unemployed one is 8 years younger to one of the teacher i.e. the unemployed was born on 1988 and one of the teacher was born on 1980. Clearly the lawyer was born on 1990.
viii. B is 9 years younger to E, E is neither CA nor lawyer. Clearly only the CA (1982) and one of the teachers (1991) have age difference of 9 years and the Manager (1981) and the Lawyer (1990) have age difference of 9 years. So, E can be either CA or Manager, but E can’t be CA as given i.e. E is the manager, So B is the Lawyer.
ix. A is 3 years older to E i.e. A was born on 1981+3=1978 i.e. A was born on 1978 and A is the Clerk
x. H is 6 years younger to the CA. i.e. clearly the CA (1982) and the Unemployed (1988) has age difference of 6 years. So, clearly H is the Unemployed
xi. D is not a teacher, clearly D is the CA, So, F and G are the teachers.
