Question

'A' is older than 'B'. C' is older than 'A' and 'D' is not older than 'B'. In this condition, which of the following conclusion is correct?

• A. 'A' and 'D' both are of the same age.
• B. 'C' and 'D' both are of the same age.
• C. 'B' and 'D' both are of the same age.
• D. 'B' is younger than 'D'.
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C 'B' and 'D' both are of the same age.

Arranging the sequence of A, B, C, D on the basis of age in descending order,
A > B, C > A, D $\ngtr$ i.e., D < B or D = B
If they are arranged according to the given option, then C>A>B=D
As per the question, 'D' is not older than 'B'. 'D' is either younger to or of the same age as B. Therefore, according to option (3), 'B' and 'D' both are of same age.
Hence, the required answer is (3).
