There are five players of a cricket team - Virat, Dhoni, Rohit, Rahul and Pant. Virat is shorter than Dhoni, but taller than Pant. Rohit is the tallest. Rahul is a little shorter than Dhoni and a little taller than Virat. Who is the third tallest?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Rahul
Each clue gives a pair in order of height; joining the pairs gives the full order.
Virat is shorter than Dhoni but taller than Pant: Dhoni > Virat > Pant
Rahul is shorter than Dhoni and taller than Virat, so he fits between them: Dhoni > Rahul > Virat > Pant
Rohit is the tallest, so he comes first: Rohit > Dhoni > Rahul > Virat > Pant
The third tallest is Rahul.
