Read the following statements: I. Rama is older than Sonam. II. Poonam is older than Rama. III. Sonam is older than Poonam. If the first two statements are true, then the third statement is

Put the two true statements in a chain. Statement I says Rama is older than Sonam, and statement II says Poonam is older than Rama. Together they give Poonam > Rama > Sonam, so Poonam is older than Sonam by transitivity.

Statement III claims the reverse, that Sonam is older than Poonam. That contradicts the chain, so it is False. Option C is correct.

• A) True is wrong. A statement that contradicts a valid chain of given facts cannot be true.
• B) Uncertain is wrong. The first two statements fix the order completely, so nothing is left open.
• D) None of the above is wrong because option C is available and correct.

Core concept: transitive reasoning in order or age puzzles. The same skill underlies Mains ethics and case-study questions, where you must check whether a conclusion follows from the given premises. Do not treat "uncertain" as a safe default; first check whether the premises settle the order.

Trap: candidates see three names and three statements and start doubting, picking B. Write the chain Poonam > Rama > Sonam first and the answer becomes obvious.
