Q:

Vishal, Priyatham, Raghu, Karthik and Veeru are five friends. Vishal is twice as old as priyatham. Raghu is half age of Priyatham. Vishal is half the age of Veeru and Raghu is twice the age of Karthik.

Question:
Who is the youngest ?

A) Veeru B) Karthik
C) Vishal D) Raghu
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Karthik

Explanation:

Let Priyatham's age = x

Then, Vishal's age = 2x; Raghu's age = x/2; Veeru's age = 4x ; Karthik's age = x/4

So, the descending order of ages is :

Veeru > Vishal > Priyatham > Raghu > Karthik

Therefore,  Karthik is the youngest.
