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.
