Among five persons A, B, C, D and E, A is shorter than B. C is shorter than D, who is taller than B. A is taller than E, and C is shorter than E. Who is the tallest of all?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → D
Join the comparisons into one chain from the tallest to the shortest.
D is taller than B, and B is taller than A: D > B > A
A is taller than E: D > B > A > E
C is shorter than E: D > B > A > E > C
All five persons are in one chain, so D is the tallest
