Answer & explanation

Correct answer: option 1

1. Among five rods P, Q, R, S and T, Sis lengthier than T.

So, S> T

2. R is shorter than P.

So, P> R

3. Q is lengthier than S.

So, Q> S

4. P is lengthier than only one rod.

So, _> _> _> P> _

Combining all the statements together

So, Q> S> T> P> R

Thus, rod 'S' is second lengthiest among all the rods.
