If all the Vowels in the alphabets are excluded and rest of Consonants as coded as follows i.e., B as 1, C as 2, D as 3…… upto K as 8. Then from L as 1, M as 2,….upto T as 8. Again V as 1, ……up to Z as 8.
Conditions:
- If the word begins with vowels and ends with consonants then last vowel of that word is coded as “%”.
- If the word begins and ends with consonants then last letter of the word is coded as “#”.
- If the word has more than three vowels then all the vowels have been removed from the word.
- If the word begins with consonants and ends with vowels then all the vowels present in the word will be coded as “&”.
Note: If two or more conditions are follows in a word then all the conditions will apply.

H is 2nd from the right end.
E is 28 years old and all the persons are sitting to the left are younger to E and all the persons are sitting to the right of E are elder to E.Three persons are sitting between E and F. F is elder to E so F is to the right of E.
| H | |||||||
B is 13 years old and C is 22 years old so at least two persons are to the left of E. So if E is 3rd from the left end than F must be 2nd from the right end but H is already there so that can’t be possible so E must be 4th from the left end and F must be at the right end.
| E | H | F | |||||
| 28 |
Two persons are sitting between B and D. So B is either 2nd from the left end or 3rd from the left end. So we have two cases-
Case 1: If B is 2nd from the left end:
| B | E | D | H | F | |||
| 13 | 28 |
G is 3rd to the left of A. So G must be immediate left of E and A is immediate left of H, then C is at the left end.Two persons are sitting between the one who is 40 years old and the one who is 30 years old as both persons are elder to E so both are must be right of E. So either D or F is 30 years old or 40 years old.F is younger to D. So F is 30 years old and D is 40 years old.
We know that D’s age is twice of G so G must be 20 years old but we know that G’s age is an odd number so this case gets rejected.
| C | B | G | E | D | A | H | F |
| 22 | 13 | 28 | 40 | 30 |
Case 2: If B is 3rdfrom the left end:
| B | E | D | H | F | |||
| 13 | 28 |
G is 3rd to the left of A. So G must be 2nd to the left of E and A is immediate left of D then C is at the left end.Two persons are sitting between the one who is 40 years old and the one who is 30 years old as both persons are elder to E so both are must be right of E. So either A or F is 30 years old or 40 years old.F is younger to D. So F cannot be the eldest so A is eldest and 40 years old and F is 30 years old.
| C | G | B | E | A | D | H | F |
| 22 | 13 | 28 | 40 | 30 |
H is 6 years elder to F so H is 36 years old. D is younger to H but elder to E and D’s age is twice of G’s age whom age is an odd number as D is elder to F and younger to H so D must be 34 years old and G must be 17 years old which is an odd number.
Here is the final arrangement:
| C | G | B | E | A | D | H | F |
| 22 | 17 | 13 | 28 | 40 | 34 | 36 | 30 |
- Answer: B
Only A is elder to H.
