Udit is elder to Pooja. Prerna is younger to both Anuj and Vinit. Swati is younger to Prerna and elder to Udit. Anshu is younger to Swati, but not the youngest. How many persons are younger to Vinit?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Udit is older than Pooja.
Udit > Pooja
Prerna is younger than both Anuj and Vidit.
Anuj > Prerna and Vidit > Prerna
Swati is younger than Prerna but older than Udit.
Prerna > Swati > Udit
Anshu is younger than Swati but is not the youngest.
Swati > Anshu, and Anshu is not the youngest (therefore, there is someone even younger than Anshu).
Anuj and Vidit are older than Prerna.
Prerna > Swati > Udit > Pooja (derived from Udit > Pooja).
Anshu is positioned between Swati and the youngest person (Pooja).
Possible Order (from oldest to youngest):
Case 1: Vidit is the oldest.
People younger than Vidit: Anuj, Prerna, Swati, Anshu, Udit, Pooja → 6 people.
Case 2: Anuj is older than Vidit.
People younger than Vidit: Prerna, Swati, Anshu, Udit, Pooja → 5 people.
Conclusion:
The number of people younger than Vidit could be 5 or 6, depending on whether Vidit is the oldest or the second oldest.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option (3).
