Is John older than Ricardo?

(1) John is twice as old as Edgar, and Edgar is half as old as Clara.
(2) Ricardo is younger than Clara, but older than Edgar.

VERITAS PREP OFFICIAL SOLUTION:

Solution: C

Statement (1) tells us that J = 2E and that E = ½ C, so J = 2E and C = 2E, so J = C: John is the same age as Clara. Ricardo is not mentioned; INSUFFICIENT. Statement (2) tells us nothing about John’s age; INSUFFICIENT. Together, John and Clara are the same age and Ricardo is younger than Clara, so he must be younger than John. (C).
