Among 6 persons A, B, C, D, E and F, it is known that; A is taller than at-least 3 persons. C is taller than B, who is taller than exactly 1 person. D is not shorter than C. E is taller than A and D is shorter than A. Who is 4th shortest person among all? |
D A C F |
D |
6 persons A. B, C, D, E and F 1) A is taller than at-least 3 persons. So, A _> _> _ (Atleast) 2) C is taller than B, who is taller than exactly 1 person. So, _> _> _> C> B> _ 3) D is not shorter than C. So, D> C 4) E is taller than A and D is shorter than A. So, E> A> D 5) Combining all the statements together, we get: So, E > A> D> C> B> _ 6) Only F is left, so it will take the vacant position. So, the final arrangement is: So, E > A> D> C> B> F
Therefore, D is the 4th shortest person among all |
