The problem asks us to determine which of the four friends gets an extra pizza piece based on their relative ages.
Pizza Age Logic Explained
The rule is that the oldest friend gets an extra piece of pizza. We need to compare the ages of Bahu, Kattappa, Bhalla, and Devsena.
Comparing Friend's Ages
Let's analyze the given age differences relative to Kattappa:
- Bahu is two months older than Kattappa. Mathematically, $Bahu = Kattappa + 2 \text{ months}$.
- Kattappa is three months younger than Bhalla, which means Bhalla is three months older than Kattappa. Mathematically, $Bhalla = Kattappa + 3 \text{ months}$.
- Devsena is one month older than Kattappa. Mathematically, $Devsena = Kattappa + 1 \text{ month}$.
Identifying the Oldest Friend
By comparing the age differences relative to Kattappa:
- Bhalla is 3 months older than Kattappa.
- Bahu is 2 months older than Kattappa.
- Devsena is 1 month older than Kattappa.
Comparing these differences ($+3$ months, $+2$ months, $+1$ month), Bhalla is older than both Bahu and Devsena. Since Kattappa is the youngest reference point, Bhalla is the oldest among the four friends.
Conclusion
As Bhalla is the oldest friend, he gets the extra piece of pizza according to their decision.
