Correct answer
Either 2 or 4
Why this answer is correct
-
Age of youngest person is 46 and age of G is less than 52.
-
Age of B is 61 and is older than A.
Since the youngest is 46, next will be 49 and so on.
Case 1:
| Sl. No. | Person | Age |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 64 | |
| 2 | B | 61 |
| 3 | 58 | |
| 4 | 55 | |
| 5 | 52 | |
| 6 | G | 49 |
| 7 | 46 |
Case 2:
| Sl. No. | Person | Age |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 64 | |
| 2 | B | 61 |
| 3 | 58 | |
| 4 | 55 | |
| 5 | 52 | |
| 6 | 49 | |
| 7 | G | 46 |
-
E is not the youngest among all but is younger than D whose age is not 55.
-
A is older than E and D but A's age is not 55.
A is younger to B so case1 cannot be considered.
Case 2:
| Sl. No. | Person | Age |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 64 | |
| 2 | B | 61 |
| 3 | A | 58 |
| 4 | 55 | |
| 5 | D | 52 |
| 6 | E | 49 |
| 7 | G | 46 |
Therefore,
| Sl. No. | Person | Age |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | F/C | 64 |
| 2 | B | 61 |
| 3 | A | 58 |
| 4 | F/C | 55 |
| 5 | D | 52 |
| 6 | E | 49 |
| 7 | G | 46 |
Hence, the correct answer is either F or C.
