Question:

Who amongst P, Q, R, S and T is the shortest?

Statement I: S is shorter than T, but taller than R.

Statement II: Q is not tall as P.

Choose the correct option and decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.

Options:

Statement I alone is sufficient

Statement II alone is sufficient

Statement I and II together are sufficient

Statement I and II together are not sufficient

Correct Answer:

Statement I and II together are not sufficient

Explanation:

Statement I: S is shorter than T, but taller than R.

This statement tells us that S is between R and T in terms of height. It does not provide information about the height of P and Q.

Statement II: Q is not tall as P.

This statement tells us that Q is shorter or equal to P, but does not provide any information about the height of R, S, or T.

To determine who is the shortest, we need to know the relative heights of all five letters. Statement I provides some information about the relative heights of S, T, and R, but not about P and Q. Statement II provides no new information that would help us determine who is the shortest.

Thus, the correct answer is "Statement I and II together are not sufficient".
