Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Given:
A = B + 2; B = C – 5; C = D + 3; D = E – 6
Let the age of E be a.
Age of D = E – 6 = a – 6
Age of C = D + 3 = a – 6 + 3 = a – 3
Age of B = C – 5 = a – 3 – 5 = a – 8
Age of A = B + 2 = a – 8 + 2 = a – 6
Thus, the arrangement is as follows –
E > C > A = D > B
So, B is the youngest. Hence, the second option is correct.
