2. Gopal is elder to Vishnu.

1. Statement 1by itself determines the eldest child
2. Statement 2 by itself determines the eldest child.
3. Statements 1 and 2 are both required to determine the eldest child
4. Statements 1 and 2 are not sufficient to determine the eldest child

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Statement 1by itself determines the eldest child

The logic that follows here is:

1) Vishnu is younger to Arun.

Arun > Vishnu

2) Gopal is elder to Deepu and Deepu is the youngest in the group.

Gopal > Deepu

Now, to identify the eldest child in the group the relationship between Arun and Gopal should be given.

Statement 1 gives the relationship between Arun and Gopal

Statement 1: Gopal is younger to Arun.

Arun > Gopal

Therefore, Arun is the eldest child in the group.

Hence, Statement 1by itself determines the eldest child.
