    Question

    Among A, B, C, D, E and F, D is taller than B but shorter than F. E is taller than B, but shorter than C. B is not the shortest of all. Then A is

    A.

    the shortest of all.

    B.

    the tallest of all.

    C.

    taller than E, but shorter than C.

    D.

    taller than C, but shorter than F.

    Correct option is A

    Given:-
    D is taller than B but shorter than F.
    E is taller than B but shorter than C.
    B is not the shortest of all.
    Solution:-
    From the above information it is shown  that D is taller than B and shorter than F.
    E is also taller than B and shorter than C.
    Since B is not the shortest, let’s assume there is a person A who is shorter than B.
    A < B < D < F
    A < B < E < C
    The tallest person is F.
    The shortest person must be A (who is shorter than B).
    The complete order of heights:-
    A < B < D < E < C < F
    Thus , the correct answer is (A) the shortest of all.
