Question and options
Study the given information carefully and answer the question.
Rohan, Siddharth, Vishnu, Antony and Niranjana are five cousins. Rohan is twice as old as Siddharth. Vishnu is half the age of Siddharth. Rohan is half the age of Niranjana and Vishnu is twice the age of Antony
Rohan, Siddharth, Vishnu, Antony and Niranjana are five cousins. Rohan is twice as old as Siddharth. Vishnu is half the age of Siddharth. Rohan is half the age of Niranjana and Vishnu is twice the age of Antony
If Vishnu is 16 years old, then what is the age of Antony?
- 8 years
- 5 years
- 14 years
- 7 years
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - 8 years
Vishnu is twice the age of Antony, so Antony is half of 16, which is 8 years. The other relations, involving Rohan, Siddharth and Niranjana, are not needed here. Picking 14 or 7 does not satisfy the doubling rule.
