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
