Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven: In a group of five friends, each has a different age.
1) Sony is younger than Ramesh.
2) Mohan is younger than Chand.
3) Only two people are older than Chand.
4) Sita is younger than Mohan.
Let's determine the order of ages step-by-step:
From statement 3: Since only two people are older than Chand, Chand must be the third oldest.
__ > __ > Chand > __ > __
From statement 2: Mohan is younger than Chand.
__ > __ > Chand > Mohan > __
From statement 4: Sita is younger than Mohan.
__ > __ > Chand > Mohan > Sita
From statement 1: Sony is younger than Ramesh. Since Chand is already the third oldest, Ramesh must be one of the two oldest. Therefore, Sony must be younger than Ramesh but older than Chand.
Ramesh > Sony > Chand > Mohan > Sita
So, the order of ages from oldest to youngest is:
Ramesh > Sony > Chand > Mohan > Sita
Hence, the second youngest in the group is Mohan.
The correct answer is Option 1.
