    Hi everyone,
    Try this. The age of Amit and Irfan is 2 and 4 respectively. But the age of Gopal and Salman is 4 and 6 respectively. What is the age of Shahrukh?

    Hi Suresh,
    I am afraid the answer is not correct. Try again. OK, here's a hint.
    There is a definite pattern being followed.

    Re: Age of Shahrukh

    I followed the following rule,
    AMIT(4 letters)---2 yrs
    IRFAN(5 letters)--4 years
    GOPAL(5 letters)-4 yrs
    SALMAN(6 letters)--6 yrs

    so for the with odd number of letters , the age is one less than the number of letters.
    but for names having even number of letters, it is following a pattern.
    like for AMIT age is 2 yrs (half the number of letter), for SALMAN age is 6 yrs(equal to the number of letters)
    so if we follow this pattern, Sharukh (8 letters) shud be of 4 yrs

    plz confirm if i m Right or not

    Hi everyone,
    Let me make it simple this time. I am following a definite pattern
    for all the names. There is no partiality between odd or even names. Well, let me give you the hint as the answer. The answer is 10. If anyone gets it then explain the process.

    Re: Age of Shahrukh

    Hi
    AMIT is of 4 letters and his age is ---2 yrs
    SALMAN is of 6 letters and his age is--6 yrs.
    Shahrukh is of 8 letters and his age should be 10 years.

    As the length of the name is increased by 2 letters and the age is increased by 4 years.

    So the shahrukh age should be 10 years.

    I am right?

    Yours Logic seeming to be correct and having some logic. But you have written 'sharukh' in place of SHAHRUKH which is annoying as 'sharukh' sound 7 char which gives answer as 6 yrs (based on your logic). BUt if it is SHAHRUKH, then your answer is exactly correct; i.e.., 4 years...

    I think you got what I wanna to describe from this.....

    Hi,
    The thing is you had devised another solution for this problem. Anyway, I accept that as per your logic no-one can question you.
    OK. Now, if I say that that the pattern has something to do with vowels and consonants. I had taken specific values for each alphabet. And then devised the value. Any answers now?

    Hi Smart Coder,
    It was a very good answer by you, though it was not what I thought. OK, though I am not entitled now to ask (as I have so many answers) but even then try to find a pattern in the alphabets(vowels and consonants) I have used in the names. I had assigned specific values to them. Just want you all to exercise your brains.
    I am sure now everyone would find the pattern

    Hi,

    Shahrukh's age should be 10. I think the age is known to everyone.
    The age is derived using the consonants of the names.

    Name => Cons => Age
    Amit => 2 => 2
    Irfan => 3 => 4
    Gopal => 3 => 4
    Salman => 4 => 6
    Shahrukh => 6 => 10

    I think this is what Rajiv expects.

    Re: Age of Shahrukh

    Hi everyone,
    I am now giving my version of achieving the age of Shahrukh as 10. I had assigned 2 as a value to all the vowels in a name and -1 to all the consonants in the same name.
    Well, thanks for everyone who tried their best.
