Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Conclusion: The information provided is insufficient to determine Manohar's birth date.
Statement I: Gives the father's birth date (27 May 1948). This does not provide any information about Manohar's birth date.
Statement II: States a relative age (Manohar is 25 years younger than his mother). Without the mother's birth date or an absolute age/date, this does not yield Manohar's birth date.
Combined: Knowing the father's birth date and the age difference between Manohar and his mother still leaves the mother's birth date unknown, so you cannot compute Manohar's birth date.
What is needed: The mother's birth date, Manohar's age with a reference date, or an explicit statement of Manohar's birth date.
