Passage / Data

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

Elle is three times older than Yogesh. Zaheer is half the age of Wahida. Yogesh is older than Zaheer.

Which of the following information will be sufficient to estimate Elle's age?

Answer & solution

  • A

    Zaheer is 10 years old.

  • B

    Both Yogesh and Wahida are older than Zaheer by the same number of years.

  • Both 1 and 2 above

  • D

    None of the above

Solution

Using the information in options 1 and 2 together, we have,

Waheeda’s age = 2 × Zaheer’s age = 2 × 10 = 20

∴ Yogesh’s age must be equal to 20 years.

∴ Elle’s age = 3 × 20 = 60

Hence, option (c).
