Tallest among four: Barun is taller than Sanjay. Bipul is taller than Barun. Krishna is shorter than Bipul but taller than Barun. Who is the tallest?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Bipul

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
We are to identify the maximum in a set of four with provided pairwise comparisons.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Barun > Sanjay.
  • Bipul > Barun.
  • Krishna < Bipul and Krishna > Barun.


Concept / Approach:
From the relations: Bipul exceeds Barun and also exceeds Krishna (since Krishna < Bipul). Sanjay is below Barun, so he is below Bipul too. Therefore, Bipul is the tallest.



Step-by-Step Ordering:

1) Place Sanjay at the bottom relative to Barun (Barun > Sanjay).2) Place Bipul above Barun (Bipul > Barun).3) Insert Krishna between Bipul and Barun as Krishna > Barun but < Bipul.4) Final order (short→tall): Sanjay < Barun < Krishna < Bipul.


Verification / Alternative check:
All original statements are satisfied by the chain above; the top is Bipul.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Barun/Krishna: Each is below Bipul.
  • Sanjay: Lowest among the four.


Common Pitfalls:
Missing that “Krishna is shorter than Bipul” rules out Krishna as tallest.


Final Answer:
Bipul
