Question: Madan is elder than Kamal and Sharad is younger than Arvind. Who among them is the youngest ?
Statements:
- Sharad is younger than Madan.
- Arvind is younger than Kamal.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
As given, we have: M > K, A > S.
From II, K > A. Thus, we have: M > K > A > S.
So, Sharad is the youngest. From I, M > S. Thus, we have: M>K>A>S or M>A>K>S or M>A>S>K.

By comparing the question and statement, equations we will get option C.
*M>k, M>s
*S<A, K>A
=> M>K>S
=> S<A<K.
*M>k, M>s
*S<A, K>A
=> M>K>S
=> S<A<K.

Option B is correct. I agree with the given answer.

Both statements prove that Sharad is the youngest and so how we could say that only 2 is the correct statement?

From the second statement, we can conclude who is youngest.

I think the right answer is option D.
Because As given, we have: M > K, A > S.
From I: M>S
From II: K>A
Both statements are independent. So can't find who is youngest.
Because As given, we have: M > K, A > S.
From I: M>S
