Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : Shyam

According to the given information:

Ram is elder than Shyam.

Ram > Shyam.

Shyam is younger than Abhijeet implies that Abhijeet is elder than Shyam.

Abhijeet > Shyam.

Abhijeet is younger than Sanjeev implies that Sanjeev is elder than Abhijeet.

Sanjeev > Abhijeet.

Sanjeev, Ram and Shyam are brothers and Ram is the eldest among them.

Ram > Sanjeev > Abhijeet > Shyam.

Now we know Abhijeet celebrates his 18th birthday today and Shyam is younger than Abhijeet.

So, Shyam is not legally an adult.

Hence, ‘Shyam’ is correct answer.
