Alka is older than Mala. Gopal is older than Mala but younger than Alka. Kapil is younger than Ram and Mala. Mala is older than Ram.

Whose age is between Mala and Kapil?


A) Gopal

B) Ram

C) Alka

D) None of these

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Let us denote the five persons by the first letter of their names, namely A, M, G, K and R.

Then, A > M, A > G > M, R > K, M > K and M > R.

Combining all the above, we get : A > G > M > R > K

Ram's age is between Mala and Kapil. So, the answer is (b).
