Your sentence sounds a bit weird to me. I would way "Although she was too young, they appointed her." or "Although she was too young, they nevertheless appointed her." And although I hear nevetheless in such contexts quite often, it is apparently superfluous.

The "but" in your first answer is definitely superfluous. You could say, "Although she was too young, they still appointed her."
2 (i). depends on precise usage, but probably "to"
(ii) "on"
2 (i). depends on precise usage, but probably "to"
(ii) "on"

Is "Although she was too young but they appointed here" grammatically incorrect?

Is heir of wrong and the third one. Are they wrong? I know your suggestions are better!! But I need to know whether I am grammatically wrong?

I'm sorry, but if I were your teacher, I would mark your sentence with the "but" as incorrect.
Generally, "heir to" but perhaps your teacher will allow "heir of."
He gets ALONG with his colleagues.
Also, just as a general point, if you are going to ask for our help with standard English, please use standard English in your request. "Gonna" (along with "wanna") are not
