Hari (H), Gita (G), Irfan (I) and Saira (S) are siblings (i.e. brothers and sisters). All were born an 1st January, The age difference between any two successive siblings (that is born one after another) is less than 3 years. Given the following Facts: i. Hari's age + Gita's age > Irfan's age + Saira's age ii. The age difference between Gita and Saira is 1 year. However, Gita is not the oldest and Saira is not the youngest. iii. There are no twins In what order were they born (oldest first) ?

Hari's age + Gita's age > Irfan's age + Saira's age ii. The age difference between Gita and Saira is 1 year. However, Gita is not the oldest and Saira is not the youngest. iii. There are no twins In what order were they born (oldest first) ? Correct Answer SGHI
1) H + G > I + S
2) |G - S| = 1
Meaning G and S will be next to each other in order.
So the option (1) is eliminated.
Because S and G are not next to each other, G is not the oldest, and S is not the youngest.
Assume ages are 4, 3, 2, 1.
From option (2):
S = 4, G = 3, H = 2, I = 1
G + H > I + S
Option (2) satisfy all the conditions.
Now;
Options (3) and (4) are both impossible since in both those cases you would have I + S > H + G.
Hence, option (2) is the correct answer.
