Straight to the answer — option A. Taking the youngest age as x, the five ages are x, x+3, x+6, x+9, x+12. Their sum 5x+30 = 50 gives x = 4, so the youngest child is 4 years old. The three wrong options are close-fitting distractors, so re-read the stem once before finalising.

The verified answer here is option C. Reading the symbol for each letter from the given words — ग = ○ (from नगर), व = ☆ and त = □ (from वतन) — the code for गवत is ○ ☆ □. MPSC revisits this point in some form every couple of prelim cycles.

The right pick is option D. Two alternating series are interwoven: the odd-placed terms 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 rise by 2 (next = 15) and the even-placed terms 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 are the 6-times table (next = 36). So the blanks are 15 and 36.

The intended answer is option B. Each term follows n³ + 1: 1³+1=2, 2³+1=9, 3³+1=28, 4³+1=65, 5³+1=126, so the next term is 6³+1 = 217.
