Solution 1

The ID column is unique, so if you avoid the ID column then a simple query like below would do the rest:
select distinct PID, Name, Age from table

Do you want the ID to also be shown at the output? and if yes which ID to be selected for the matching PID e.g. for PID : 1 there are 2 ID's 1 and 5.
