Direction (6-10): Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions.
Eight people i.e., M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, and T were born in different years i.e., 1965, 1969, 1974, 1980, 1988, 1992, 1999, and 2003 but not necessarily in the same order. (Note: Consider the base year as 2021.) The age of T is a multiple of 4. Two people were born between O and N. Difference between the age of O and R is 29. The difference between the age of Q and R is 34. The two people were born between T and M. Number of people who were born before M is the same as the number of people who were born after S.

Q6. How many people were born after P?
(a) One
(b) Three
(c) None
(d) Two
(e) Four

(b) 47
(c) 65
(d) 50
(e) None of these

Q9. Q was born on which amongst the following year?
(a) 2003
(b) 1992
(c) 1974
(d) 1969
(e) None of these

Q10. Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and hence form a group. Find the one that doesn’t belong to that group.
(a) Q
(b) O
(c) T
(d) R
(e) P

(a) Two
(b) More than three
(c) Three
(d) One
(e) None

Q9. What is the difference between the sum of the digits that are 4th, 6th and 11th from the left end and 4th, 6th and 11th from the right end?
(a) 10
(b) 7
(c) 12
(d) 8
(e) None of these

Q10. How many odd numbers that are immediately preceded by an even number?
(a) Eighteen
(b) Twelve
(c) Nine
(d) Seventeen
(e) None of these

Q11. Which of the following digit is exactly between the one which is 20th from right end and which is 8th from left end?
(a) 8
(b) 5
(c) 2
(d) 4
(e) None of these

Q12. Which of the following digit is 13th to the right of the one which is 15th from the left end?
