Q: A, B, C, D and E are five friends. A is shorter than B but taller than E. C is the tallest. D is shorter than B and taller than A. Who has two persons taller and two persons shorter than him/her?

Options:

  1. C

  2. A

  3. B

  4. D

    5. Answer:

    D
    Solution:

    We have : E > A > B, A < D < B.

    Since C is the tallest,

    so we have : E < A < D < B < C.

    Clearly, D lies in the middle.

Question: 2 -

In a shop, there was 4 dolls of different heights. A, B, C and D. D is neither as tall as A nor as short as C. B is shorter than D but taller than C. If Mani wants to purchase the tallest doll, which one should she purchase?

  2. Only A

  3. Only D

  4. Either A or D

    5. Answer:

    Only A
    Solution:

    D is not as tall as A = D is shorter than A = D < A D is not as short as C = D is taller than C = D > C. B is shorter than D but taller than C = C < B < D.

    Thus, we have : C < B < D < A.

    So, A is the tallest.
