Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:

For this we need to maximize the cost each of the task, then we will find the maximum cost.

Maximum Cost = $36 (Child 5 doing Going for Morning walk) + $57 (Child 3 doing Exercise) + $55 (Child 2 doing home work) + $55 (Child 1 drink Milk) + $51 (Child 4 family work) = $254

From the 1st statement: B2 is now as old as B3 was in the past. Hence B2 is younger to B3 or B2 < B3. Also sometime in the past B1 was twice as old as B4. So B1 is elder to B4 or B1 > B4. B3 will be as old as B5 in future, hence B3 < B5. The second statement suggests: B1 > B6. B1 was as old as B7 in the past. Hence B1 > B7. B4 will be as old as B6 in future. Hence B6 > B4. B6 will be as old as B7 now in future. Hence B7 > B6
