Answer 1

Answer:

• Sally, No 24, age 24, no pet
• Sammy, No 15, age 26, Terrier
• Sarah, No 30, age 23, Spaniel

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find who lives in which house, their age, and who has and who does not have a pet, given the four clues.

Table

The attached table uses red numbers in combinations excluded by that numbered clue, and green numbers in combinations that match that numbered clue. The check marks are in combinations that are the logical result.

For example, No 15 must be occupied by Sammy, since the two girls don't live there. (We assume Sammy does not identify as a girl.)

Once a square is green or checked, the others in that same row and column are excluded. Sarah's address is defined in clue 3, so the only possible occupant of #24 (also age 24) is Sally. Sarah is not the oldest, and is not 24, so must be 23.
