The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the information provided about the members of the NGO named STRANGE and their roles in the relief efforts. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Members**: The NGO consists of 7 members: S, T, R, A, N, G, E. 2. **Understand S's Statement**: The eldest member, S, states that he has deployed an equal number of brothers and sisters for medical relief and psychological counseling. This implies that the number of brothers (B) is equal to the number of sisters (S). Therefore, we can denote: - Number of brothers = B - Number of sisters = B (since they are equal) 3. **Understand E's Statement**: The youngest member, E, mentions that they have deployed twice the number of sisters as the number of brothers for rehabilitation and food supply. This can be expressed as: - Number of sisters = 2 * Number of brothers - If we denote the number of brothers as B, then the number of sisters would be 2B. 4. **Set Up the Equations**: From the statements of S and E, we have: - From S: Number of brothers = B, Number of sisters = B - From E: Number of sisters = 2B, Number of brothers = B 5. **Analyze the Equations**: - From S's statement, we have B = B (which is true). - From E's statement, we have the number of sisters as 2B, which contradicts S's statement that the number of sisters is equal to the number of brothers. 6. **Conclusion on Gender and Relationships**: Since we cannot definitively conclude the gender of E or the relationships among the members based on the information given, we cannot determine: - If the youngest person is a lady. - If the eldest person's wife is the youngest. - If the brother of S is the youngest. 7. **Final Conclusion**: Therefore, the only conclusion we can draw is that we cannot definitively say anything about the relationships or genders based on the information provided. Thus, the correct answer is: **Nothing can be said.**
