• A. Yogesh is older than Wahida
• B. Ellee is older than Wahida
• C. Ellee may be younger than Wahida
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Ellee is older than Wahida

Representing the ages of the individuals by the first letter of their names.
E=3Y, Z=$\frac{W}{2}$, and Y>Z
The first statement cannot be inferred. Y>Z, but it may not be true that Y>2Z =W. In fact, 2Z=W$\ge$Y is also a possibility.
E=3Y>3Z>W=2Z; Hence, second statement is true.
