Consider the following statements: 1. The age of F <strong>CANNOT</strong> be determined due to insufficient data. 2. The average weight of D and F is equal to weight of E. 3. The weight difference is <strong>MAXIMUM</strong> for D and A. Which of the statements given above are <strong>CORRECT</strong>?

Consider the following for the next (05) items that follow : A, B, C, D, E, F and G are cousins. D is thrice as old as A. Further, C is as many years younger to B, as G to E and E to D. The average age of D and G is 16 years; the average age of A and E is 11 years; the average age of B and C is also 11 years. B and C have equal weight. A's weight is 10 kg less than that of B; D is 4 kg heavier than E; E is 4 kg heavier than F; F is 4 kg heavier than G. Further, D has age-weight ratio of 9: 20, where age is in years and weight in kg; A has age-weight ratio of 2: 5. Moreover, none of them is more than 40 kg.

  1. A. 1 and 2 only
  2. B. 2 and 3 only
  3. C. 1 and 3 only
  4. D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: D. 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Statement 1 is true; there is no equation to find F's age. Statement 2 is true; (40+32)/2 = 36, which is E's weight. Statement 3 is true; D has the maximum weight (40) and A has the minimum (15), creating the maximum difference. Hence, all statements are correct.
