What you can say about 12th, 18th and the 21st child, depends if these numbers are multiples of 4 (every 4th child is wearing spectacles), 3 (every 3rd child is a girl) and 2 (every 2nd child is wearing a white shirt).

If a numer is multiple of another one, then the quotient between them is an integer number.

for 12th:

12/4 = 3

12/3 = 4

12/2 = 6

12 is multiple of 3, 4 and 6.

Then, 12th child is wearing spectacles, a white shirt and is a girl.

for 18th:

18/4 = 4.5

18/3 = 6

18/2 = 9

18 is multiple of 3 and 2.

Then, 18th child is a girl and is weraing a white shirt

for 21th:

21/4 = 5.25

21/3 = 7

21/2 = 11.5

21 is multiple of 3.

THen, 21st child is a girl.
