The answer:
B. Your Age
Explanation:
A. Spaceship
At first, it may seem like a good answer — spaceships do go up.
But in reality, many spaceships or rockets return to Earth (either as reusable boosters or as capsules).
So they come down too.
→ Not correct.
B. Your Age
This is the most logical and clever answer.
- Your age increases every year.
- It never decreases.
- No matter what happens, your age only goes up as time passes.
That’s why this option matches the clue in the riddle perfectly:
“I come up” → age increases
“But never come down” → age never decreases
→ Correct answer.
C. Balloon
- A balloon can rise (go up), yes.
- But it can also lose air, pop, or fall back to the ground.
→ So it doesn’t fit the “never come down” part.
→ Not correct.
D. None
This suggests no correct answer, but as we’ve seen, “Your Age” fits perfectly.
→ Not correct.
Question: I come up but never come down. So what am I?
