About Age Puzzle: Working Out Five Family Members' Ages

CLAT's Logical Reasoning section includes age-based arithmetic puzzles: a set of relative-age clues and a total are given, and each question asks about one or more people's exact ages -- no outside knowledge is needed beyond simple arithmetic and the clues given up front.

This quiz is built around a single age puzzle: five family members whose exact ages are fully pinned down by four relative-age clues and one total, given up front. Every question below is answered using those same five ages -- nothing new is introduced question to question.

The twenty questions attached to it move through the kind of angles these puzzles are actually tested from: direct age look-ups, differences and sums between two people's ages, "which of the following is true" questions, future and past ages, and a multi-statement combination question.

Only five of the twenty questions are shown on any single attempt, so replaying this quiz brings a genuinely different mix of angles on the same five ages rather than the same five memorised by rote.
