Which of the following statements CANNOT be made with certainty about the sisters?
- Geeta is older than Leelavathi
- Geeta is older than Seema
- Seema is younger than Leelavathi
- Seema is older than Meghna
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Seema is younger than Leelavathi
We know only that Geeta is eldest and Meghna youngest; the relative ages of Seema and Leelavathi are unknown, so 'Seema is younger than Leelavathi' cannot be stated with certainty. The other three statements all follow from Geeta eldest/Meghna youngest.
