Answer & solution
- A
Vaibhav is the oldest, followed by Anshuman who was born in September, and the youngest is Suprita who was born in April.
- B
Anshuman is the oldest being born in June, followed by Suprita who is 4 years old, and the youngest is Vaibhav who is 2 years old.
Vaibhav is the oldest being 7 years old, followed by Suprita who was born in April, and the youngest is Anshuman who was born in September.
- D
Suprita is the oldest who was born in April, followed by Vaibhav who was born in June, and Anshuman who was born in September.
Using the given conditions, we can figure out the following.
âââââââ
Only possibility is that Vaibhav is born in the month of June and Anshuman is born in the month of September.
âµ Anshuman is not 4 years old; Suprita has to be 4 years old.
∴ Anshuman is 2 years old and Vaibhav is 7 years old.
∴ The modified table will look like this.
