Correct Answer: Nandu


Solution : Given:
Govind is twice the age of Krishan. Nandu is half of the age of Krishan. Gwala is 6 years older than Krishan, but 6 years younger than Govind.

Let the age of Krishan be 2a
Then, the age of Govind is 4a
The age of Nandu is a
The age of Gwala is 2a + 6
Thus, the ascending order of individuals based on their ages is –
Nandu < Krishan < Govind < Gwala.

Therefore, Nandu is the youngest one among the given individuals. Hence, the third option is correct.
