RRB ALP 2025 CBT 2 Wiremen Question Paper (28-Jul-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Three

Let's analyze the given information to determine how many friends are older than Neha.

  1. We are given that "only Adya is older than Ankit," which implies Adya is the oldest and Ankit is the second oldest.
  2. "Exactly two people are younger than Ruby," indicates that Ruby is the third oldest, with two friends younger than her.
  3. We are told "Varun is younger than Neha," implying Neha is older than Varun.

Based on this information, the order of ages from oldest to youngest is:

RankName
1Adya
2Ankit
3Ruby
4Neha
5Varun

Therefore, three people (Adya, Ankit, and Ruby) are older than Neha.

Conclusion: The correct answer is \(Three\). Hence, the option is Three.
