Question

Bronwen is older than Gareth. Cedric is younger than Olwen. Gareth was born

1 year before Olwen. Who is the oldest?​

Answer 1

Bronwen is the oldest.
See, if Gareth is older than Olwen, and Olwen is older than Cedric, it means Gareth is older than them all. But Bronwen is even older than Gareth.

Answer 2

Bronwen is the oldest.

Explanation:

It is given that:

• Bronwen is older than Gareth. ( This means that: Gareth < Bronwen)

• Cedric is younger than Olwen. ( This means that: Cedric < Olwen )

• Gareth was born 1 year before Olwen. (This means that: Olwen < Gareth )

This means that: if we arrange these four people according to their ages from youngest to oldest based on the information provided in the above three points we have:

Cedric < Olwen < Gareth < Bronwen
