Firstly, I focussed on "If you remove my 1st & 2nd letters, you can't see me". The first thing that comes to mind which we can’t see is the "AIR".   So now, what 4 letter words can be formed ending with "AIR"? Think of all the words from A to Z, considering which one lies above you. That is how we get to "HAIR".   Now, which 5 letter word can be formed ending with "HAIR"? Starting with A to Z, we reach "CHAIR" and also, it lies below us.   And the required answer is "CHAIR".

Answer : 4. "36 years"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 36 years Explanation: Let present ages of Sushanth = w, Krish = x, Rishi = y and Rohit = z , thenw + x + y = 43 x 3 = 129 ---(i) andw + y + z = 49 x 3 = 147 ---(ii)Subtracting (i) from (ii), (w+y+z) - (w+x+y) = 147 - 129 , z - x = 18 ---(iii)Given Rohit's age=z=54, so from (iii), x = 54 - 18 = 36.Therefore, Krish age is 36 years.
