Correct Answer: Q


Solution : Given:
P = Q + 4; Q = R – 7; R = S + 5; S = T – 8

Let the age of T be a.
Age of S = T – 8 = a – 8
Age of R = S + 5 = a – 8 + 5 = a – 3
Age of Q = R – 7 = a – 3 – 7 = a – 10
Age of P = Q + 4 = a – 10 + 4 = a – 6
Thus, the arrangement is as follows –
T > R > P > S > Q

So, Q is the youngest. Hence, the second option is correct.
