Question

There are four brothers Alan, Bob, Carl and Dave. Dave is two years older than Bob. Bob is one year younger than Carl. Alan, who is 34, is two years younger than Carl. Who is the oldest?
1. Alan
2. Bob
3. Carl
4. Dave

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Dave

According to the given information,

1) Age of Alan = 34

2) As Alan is 2 years younger than Carl then,

Age of Carl = 34 + 2 = 36

3) Bob is one year younger than Carl

Age of Bob = 36 - 1 = 35

4)  Dave is two years older than Bob then, 

Age of Dave = 35 + 2 = 37

so, the order of their height would be 

 Dave > Carl > Bob > Alan.

So, the oldest person is Dave.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
