M is 2 years older than P. L is 2 years older than O. O's age is the average of the ages of L and N, P's age is the average of the ages of L and M and L's age is the average of P and O. Who is the youngest?
Given,
M is 2 years older than P.
$$\Rightarrow$$ Â M > P
L is 2 years older than O
$$\Rightarrow$$Â L > O
O's age is the average of the ages of L and N which means O's age lies between L and N.
$$\Rightarrow$$Â L > O > N ...........(1)
P's age is the average of the ages of L and M which means P's age lies between L and M.
$$\Rightarrow$$Â M > P > L ...........(2)
Combining (1) and (2)
M > P > L > O > N
$$\therefore\ $$N is the youngest person
Hence, the correct answer is Option C
