In a model of a town, six buildings, a library, a museum, a bank, a hospital, a school and a temple, have different heights. The library is taller than the bank. The museum is shorter than the hospital but taller than the library. The school is the shortest. The temple is taller than the hospital. Which building is the third tallest?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Museum
Join the comparisons into one chain from the tallest building to the shortest, then count down to the third place.
The museum is shorter than the hospital but taller than the library, and the library is taller than the bank: Hospital > Museum > Library > Bank
The temple is taller than the hospital: Temple > Hospital > Museum > Library > Bank
The school is the shortest: Temple > Hospital > Museum > Library > Bank > School
The third tallest is the museum
