Eight persons are sitting around a circular table as shown below.

Four of them are facing the center while the rest of them are facing outside the center. Each of them has a different age. The person sitting second to the right of A is 47 years old. D and the person who is 47 years old face the same direction. The one who is 26 years old sits second to the right of C. A and G face opposite directions and their combined age is 56. B is the youngest of them all. The person who is sitting to the immediate left of G is half of his age. Sum of the ages of the persons who are facing towards the center is 54 years more --than the sum of the ages of the person facing, outside the -center. There is a difference of one year between the ages of immediate neighbors of C. No three persons sitting together ysare facing the same directions. Both the immediate neighbors of A face the direction opposite to which A is facing. The person who is 53 years old sits second to the left of the person who is 33 years old.
How many persons are more than 35 years old?

Options

A. One
B. Two
C. Three
D. Four

Answer

B

Explanation

Step 1.
The person sitting second to the right of A is 47 years old. Both the immediate neighbors of A face the direction opposite to which A is facing. D and the person who is 47 years old face the same direction. A and G face opposite direction. No three persons sitting together are facing the same directions. Only four persons are facing towards the center of the table.
So, we can have two possible cases,
Case 1. When A is facing towards the center.

Case 2. When A is facing opposite to the center.

Step 2. The one who is 26 years old sits second to the right ofC. There is one more possibility of Case-2 where C faces to the centre but this possibility will be cancel out. So proceed with the other possibility, A is 26 years old. Combined age is A and G 56 years. It means G is 30 years old. The person sitting to the immediate left of G is half of his age. B is the youngest of them all.There is a difference of one year between the ages of immediate neighbors of C. The person who is 53 years old sits second to the left of the person who is 33 years old. From these conditions,.case 1 will be eliminated. Sum of the ages of the persons who are facing towards the center is 54 years more than the sum of the ages of the person facing outside the center.
So, we have our final solution as,
