Neel is 4 years older than Ojas. Prem is 3 years younger than Neel. Rudra is 2 years older than Prem, and Sanjay is 5 years younger than Rudra. Who is the third oldest among the five?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Prem
Measure every age from Neel’s age; then the five can be put in order.
Neel is 4 years older than Ojas, so Ojas is Neel − 4
Prem is 3 years younger than Neel: Neel − 3
Rudra is 2 years older than Prem: Neel − 1
Sanjay is 5 years younger than Rudra: Neel − 6
Order from the oldest: Neel (0), Rudra (−1), Prem (−3), Ojas (−4), Sanjay (−6)
The third oldest is Prem
