A question and two statements I and II are given below, you have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the given question. Mahima is taller than Kala and Sheela is shorter than Asha. Who among them is the shortest?
Statement - (I) Sheela is shorter than Mahima. (II) Asha is shorter than Kala.

Correct option is B

Given:
Mahima is taller than Kala.
Sheela is shorter than Asha.
We need to find out who among Mahima, Kala, Sheela, and Asha is the shortest.
Let’s analyze the statements:
Statement I: Sheela is shorter than Mahima.
From the question: Mahima > Kala and Sheela < Asha.
Now, with Statement I: Sheela < Mahima.
Combining:
Mahima > Kala
Sheela < Mahima
Sheela < Asha (from the question)
But we don’t know how Sheela compares to Kala directly. So we can’t determine who is the shortest.
Statement II: Asha is shorter than Kala.
From the question: Mahima > Kala, Sheela < Asha.
Statement II adds: Asha < Kala
Combining:
Mahima > Kala > Asha > Sheela
Now, we can clearly rank: Mahima > Kala > Asha > Sheela
So, Sheela is the shortest.
Conclusion:
Only Statement II is sufficient.
Correct Answer: B – Only statement II is sufficient.
