Five friends Avi, Ani, Asif, Anu and Asa were born in different consecutive years starting from 2001. Anu was neither born in 2002 nor in 2005. Avi is the oldest of all. Ani is younger than Asa. Asif was born in a leap year. Who was born in 2002 ?
Asa
The five friends are born in five consecutive years starting from 2001, i.e. 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
Avi is stated to be the oldest of all, so Avi must occupy the earliest year, 2001.
Asif was born in a leap year; among 2001-2005 the only leap year is 2004, so Asif = 2004.
Anu was born neither in 2002 nor in 2005, so from the years still open (2002, 2003, 2005) only 2003 fits, giving Anu = 2003.
That leaves 2002 and 2005 to be shared between Ani and Asa.
Ani is younger than Asa, and a later year means a younger person, so Ani takes 2005 and Asa takes 2002.
The chain of unique constraints (oldest, leap year, exclusions) pins every person to exactly one year.
Therefore the friend born in 2002 is Asa.
