Hi Viewers,
To solve these kind of problems just make the given data into expressions.
Tanya is older than Eric ==> Tanya > Eric
Cliff is older than Tanya ==> Cliff > Tanya > Eric
Eric is older than Cliff : This is wrong, because from the above statement we can easily find that Eric is younger than Cliff and Tanya.
Therefore the answer is 'False' (Option B).
Hope this will help you. Have a nice day!

You own a shop of chocolates. You want to give exact number of chocolates (say for orders up to 1000 chocolates) to customers without counting them at the time of giving. You can pre fill chocolates in bags by counting them upfront and give appropriate bags (one or many) to fulfill the order. What is the minimum number of bags will you need to satisfy your first order? (Remember you do not know what is the order upfront).
Solve it now I am waiting for results.

Let us consider.
Tanya < Eric == > 10 < 11
Cliff < Tanya == > 9 < 10
Eric < Cliff ==> 11 < 9
It is wrong so false.
Tanya < Eric == > 10 < 11
Cliff < Tanya == > 9 < 10
Eric < Cliff ==> 11 < 9
It is wrong so false.
