Answer 2

Let's determine who among Babu, Gopu, Somu, and Pappu is the oldest using the given statements:
Statement I: Somu is older than Babu.
Statement II: Gopu is older than Somu.
Statement III: Pappu is the youngest of all.
Analyze the statements:
Using Statement I:
- Somu > Babu
Using Statement II:
- Gopu > Somu
Using Statement III:
- Pappu is the youngest, so Pappu < everyone else
To find the oldest person:
Using Statement II alone:
- Gopu > Somu
- Given that Somu is older than Babu from Statement I, it implies Gopu > Somu > Babu.
- Since Pappu is the youngest from Statement III, we already know Pappu < everyone else.
Therefore, Gopu is the oldest based on Statement II alone.
Hence, the correct answer is:D. II Only.
