Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 15 years.
1. Only two people are older than M. Only two people are younger than K. F is the eldest.
F > _ > M > _ > K > _ > _ (12)
2. N is older than L, but younger than H. L is not the youngest. The sum of the ages of the youngest and second oldest person is 42 years.
F > H(30) > M > N > K > L > G(12)
Thus, the possible age of L is 15 years.
